Article 9 Europees Verdrag inzake de adoptie van kinderen (herzien)

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1 A child may be adopted only if the adopter has attained the minimum age prescribed by law for this purpose, this minimum age being neither less than 18 nor more than 30 years. There shall be an appropriate age difference between the adopter and the child, having regard to the best interests of the child, preferably a difference of at least 16 years.

2 The law may, however, permit the requirement as to the minimum age or the age difference to be waived in the best interests of the child:

a) when the adopter is the spouse or registered partner of the child’s father or mother; or

b) by reason of exceptional circumstances.
