The article is devoted to regulations concerning adoption, written in the so-called Code of Gortyn, founded in the first half of the 5th century BC. First, the author made a translation of a fragment of the Code which contained provisions relating to adoption. Then, he discussed the terminology for the institution and the qualifications the adopters and adoptees needed to meet. The rest of the article deals with the form of adoption, the legal consequences of this act, cancellation of the act and the confirmation of property rights acquired by the adoptee prior to the announcement of the Code. Wherever possible, the author showed differences and similarities between the Code of Gortyn and Athenian regulations. In the conclusion, he stressed that the position of an adopted son was not as strong as the position of the sons born in wedlock. He was not, in contrast to the former, made heir to his parents’ properties. He also did not have as strong a position as an adopted son in Athens. Athenian law did not diversify the situation of children born in wedlock (gnesioi) and those adopted. They both inherited the same part of the property. In Gortyn the adoptee who had adoptive brothers and sisters inherited equally with the latter, hence half of the property was inherited by a legitimate son.

Article consideresissues takes the issues of orphans, whose structure in recent years is clearly changing. Decreasing number of natural orphans, and the increasing number of social orphans. The same phenomenon reflects negatively on the course of development of the child's personality. In addition, orphaned children are often stigmatized in the immediate environment which may resultin social exclusion. Some form of public education in this field carries children's literature, which brings problems of children orphaned, as well as forms of institutional aid and family. Literature for children and young people brings closer to young readers the world of feelings and needs of their orphaned peers and let them better understand the full value as a person deserving, as well as others, the interest, concern and love.

On the one hand, adoptive family is an alternative for married couples who are not able to have progeny, on the other hand, it is an alternative for social orphans to have proper family. So as well as fulfilling a lot of functions of biological families, adoptive families also compensate for social orphanhood. Only a healthy family can face such a responsible task. According to modern psychology, pedagogics and sociology, family is a small social group, a community which follows certain rules. A healthy family is a functional family, which makes every one of its members happy and gives them possibility to fulfill their needs. There are all sorts of difficulties, failures and arguments in such a family, however, mutual relationships and the potential of its particular members motivates to look for satisfying solutions for every one of them. So, what should characterize a healthy adoptive family, what inner-family factors and outer conditions might disturb its functioning. These questions need to be tried and answered already in the diagnosing and preparation period for the adoptive parents candidates. It is also important to prepare a child (depending on age), because both the child and its future parents bring to the newly created adoptive family their genetic heritage, health condition, previous experiences and life plans, hopes, value, skills, mutual relations, ways to communicate and deal with difficulties and so on. Final court decision on adoption should not be the end, but the beginning of post-adoptive work with the new family, in order to strengthen its proper and healthy functioning.

The establishment or termination of adoption bonds affects the civil status of the adopted person. First of all, it means the change legal parenthood with regard to the adoptee and, secondly, it usually results in changing their names and surnames. These changes of civil status entail the necessity of making appropriate entries in the civil status register, which is the official source of information on the personal and family position of the individual. The registration activities have a special dimension when they concern adoptions in the international context. The author analyses several different scenarios. Starting from adoption decrees issued by the Polish courts (according to Polish or foreign law), through foreign judgments (which might require recognition in Poland) to adoption contracts made abroad and invoked in front of the Polish Registrar in order be duly recorded. A number of remarks concerning the daily registration practice is also made with regard to the termination of adoption. Finally, a separate section of the article is devoted to the transcription to the Polish register of birth certificates issued abroad, which concern adopted persons.

The purpose of this article is to provide an exhaustive analysis of selected intertemporal issues arising in connection with the approval and entry into force of Article 119 [1a] of the Polish Family and Guardianship Code (KRO). In particular, its aim is to answer whether a consent for adoption, as specified in former Article 119 KRO, would remain binding after the entry into force of the amendment. Consequently, whether the court in which the adoption process was started under the former provision, would be bound by a consent expressed on its grounds even after the entry into force of the new Article 119 [1a] KRO. It was established that the consent to the adoption, expressed according to Article 119 KRO, would remain valid under the new (current) state of law. Consequently, it is binding on the court hearing the adoption application, even if the proceedings had not been completed before the entry into force of the Article 119 [1a] KRO. This binding aspect, of course, does not impose on the court an obligation to make an adoption order in favour of an entity (entities) named in the declaration of consent made by parents (on the basis of relevant provisions of KRO, the court may recognize, in particular, that it would be contrary to the interests of the child), however, it excludes an adoption order in favour of others. Firstly, this result appears to be completely unambiguous in the light of linguistic interpretation principles. Secondly, the linguistic result is, again unambiguously, confirmed by the system directives as consistent with principle of non-retroactivity (lex retro non agit) which is not only normatively understood but also descriptively recognized.

The goal of this paper is to address the phenomena of homosexuality in Albania and the situation of persons with homosexual tendencies encounter. Future spouses’ sexuality cannot be ignored when addressing the conditions for marriage. The issue of gay marriage has been at the center of political and social debate in the world for years now. Legal regulation concerning homosexual marriage is found in countries like Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and the Netherlands. As regards Albania, no law allowing same gender marriages has been adopted yet. Our Family Code does not give a clear definition of the concept of future spouses, not having a provision that specifically requires different genders of people wishing to join in marriage, although, through a careful reading of the provisions of the Family Code it is noted that different genders are a requirement for marriage. Regardless of the time we live in, we observe that our society is still conservatory towards this phenomenon. The fear that with accepting homosexual marriages the definition of the traditional family will lose its meaning brings a large part of the society to be skeptical in accepting homosexual marriages. We continue to be faced to the myth that the acceptance of homosexual marriages will lead to an increase in the number of homosexuals in the country.

According to Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland from 1997 “Marriage, being a union of a woman and a man, as well as family, motherhood and parenthood shall be placed under the protection and care of the Republic of Poland”. As to the substance, the quoted provision means continuation of Polish legal order. The wording „being a community of a woman and a man” is, however, a novelty in the Polish constitutional legislation. The reason for inserting it into the text of the basic law, declared during the Parliamentary constitutional works and the political campaign for confirming the new Constitution in the referendum 1997, was the intention to exclude any legal institutionalization of partnerships between persons of the same sex in the future. Article 18 of the Constitution implicates, inter alia, the guaranty of the legal institution of marriage. The Polish legislator is namely authorized and obliged to establish and maintain just this institution, whose essential attributes are: monogamy (union of only two persons and excluding of coincident staying of the same person in two or more unions); heterosexuality (union of one woman and one man); availability for everyone who is able to marriage according to objective standards, and these shall be sufficiently specialized by statute; basing of the union on personal connection of the two partners in important dimensions of private and intimate life; durability of the union; uniformity of marriage law in Polish legal order; existence of legal norms of property for economic stabilization of the union; official contracting and registration of it. On the other hand, the Constitution does not authorize the legislator to establish legal institutions similar to the marriage (a kind or kinds of “paramarriage”, regardless of the legal name), either for hetero- or homosexual couples (or unions of more persons), such as the French pacte civil de solidarité (for couples regardless of the sex of partners) or the German eingetragene Lebenspartnerschaft (for homosexual couples). Considering Article 18 of the Constitution, legal recognition of homosexual couples registered abroad by Polish legal order is excluded too. The constitutional reason for the exceptional legal status of marriage, being a union of one woman and one man, is the close functional and axiological connection of marriage with the other goods protected by Article 18 of the Constitution: family, motherhood and parenthood. Establishing a legal institution of „paramarriage” for persons of the same sex, even under a name different from marriage and with a more modest legal status (as was tried to enforce in the Polish Parliament), would not conform to the Constitution. Besides, the experiences of states in which such a “little step” was made years ago show that the existence of a legal institution of homosexual „paramarriage”, parallelly to the usual legal institution of (heterosexual) marriage, evokes a political and judicial pressure in favor of progressive equating the first with the marriage respect to the – misinterpreted – principle of non-discrimination. The real choice for the Polish legislator is: either maintaining of the standpoint – which is, in the opinion of the author, required by the Constitution – that various forms of non-marital cohabitation are a strictly private matter, and they must not be subjugated under a specific legal institution, or to tread the path that begins at establishing of a “modest” kind of „paramarriage” and ends at full realization of the idea of mariage pour tous, including the right to adopt children by registered homosexual couples. As to the matter in consideration, the Constitution could be changed only in the way of a formal, democratic revision of it, not in the way of an “innovative” re-interpretation of its provisions in force that have been adopted by the National Assembly and confirmed by the Polish people in the constitutional referendum 1997.

The study focuses on the issue of legal effects of regulations. It indicates the legal context of the proposed solutions and signals possi-ble legal problems related to the introduction of the proposed regulations into the legal system. The study points out, inter alia, that the current Article 114 § 1 of the Act of 25 February 1964 — Family and Guardianship Code — assuming one of the possible inter-pretations of the notion of a ‘child’ — may be inconsistent with the proposed Article 72(2a) of the Fundamental Law to the extent to which it excludes the admissibility of adoption of a woman who at the time of filing an application for adoption was under 18 years of age, but became of age through marriage.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to present arguments against the possibility of adoption of a child by a homosexual person in the light of Polish family law.  THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Since the Polish legislature does not explicitly accept or prohibit the adoption of a child by a homosexual person, the question of the possibility of adoption of a child by such a person is raised in the light of the principles of family law in force in Poland. There has been applied the method of critical and comparative analysis as well as the analysis of the reference literature, rulings of the Polish Supreme Court and Polish reference legislation. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: After having initially defined the aim of the study, the author indicates the function and purpose of the adoption and its premises. Two basic premises of adoption are explained in detail - the premise of the best interests of the child and the appropriate personal qualifications of the adopter. The essential part of the argumentation is to find the answer to the question on whether adoption of a child by a homosexual person in the light of Polish family law is possible or not.   RESEARCH RESULTS: The result of this research is the statement of impossibility of adoption of a child by homosexuals in the light of Polish family law.  CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The analysis confirmed the dominant view in Polish doctrine according to which adoption of a child by homosexuals appears to be in contradiction of  the principle of the best interests of the child.

Tekst dotyczy nowelizacji Europejskiej Konwencji o przysposobieniu dzieci sporządzonej w Strasburgu dnia 24 kwietnia 1967 r. oraz Europejskiej konwencji o statusie prawnym dziecka pozamałżeńskiego, sporządzonej w Strasburgu dnia 15 października 1975 r.. Opisuje proces poszukiwania minimalnych standardów odpowiadających zmianom społecznym, medycznymi prawnym, zaistniałym w społeczeństwach europejskich w ostatnich latach. Próby podjęte w tym zakresie pokazują trudności w ustaleniu jednoznacznego, minimalnego wzorca ochrony praw dzieci i dorosłych. Pomimo kontrowersji, w 2008 r. przyjęto nową wersję konwencji o przysposobieniu dzieci. Jak dotychczas nie powiodła się nowelizacja drugiego ze wskazanych aktów prawnych. Rada Europy podjęła próby przyjęcia rekomendacji o prawach i statusie prawnym dzieci i odpowiedzialnościach rodzicielskich, jako pierwszy etap w kierunku uchwalenia nowej konwencji, ale ostatecznie projekt nie został zaakceptowany. Cały proces wskazuje, że nie ma konsensusu co do kierunku, w jakim będą przyjmowane w przyszłości standardy związane z wizją rodziny oraz pozycją dziecka w rodzinie i w społeczeństwie.

This text concerns novelization of the 1967 European Convention on the adoption of children and the 1975 European Convention on the status of the children born out of wedlock. It describes the process of looking for the minimum standards compatible with social, medical and legal changes of the our-days societies. Some attempts undertaken on this fields shows difficulties in setting up a minimal model of protection of children’s and adults members’ of a family rights. Not without controversies a new revised version of the European Convention on adoption of children was acceptedin 2008. The novelization of the second among indicated treaties has not been successful yet. The Council of Europe tried to develop a Recommendation on the rights and legal status of children and parental responsibilities as a first step towards a new Convention, however the draft has finally not been approved. The whole process shows lack of consensus with regard to a direction of legal standards’ development, as far as they concern place of a child within a family and a society and a vision of a family.

The article represents a part of a master thesis research project carried out at Klaipeda university. Concepts of biological, emotional, and procedural parenting obligations were utilised to analyse the issues of social work support for adoptive families. Procedural and emotional components were found to raise the biggest challenges. Although fostering and adoption mean raising a child deprived of parental care and usually needing additional help, social work support is mostly oriented towards fostering families. Therefore, social work support for adoptive parents while rather intensive in preparing the necessary documentation, initial training and matching of a family and a child, basically stops after the child arrives in a family. After that support remains purely voluntary and occasional. Research results show that the adoption process needs to be improved by revising training programmes, enhancing inter-institutional communication, and enriching the information provided for adoptive parents. The current procedures are seen as inefficient by social workers and adoptive parents.

In the text, I look at the processes of psychiatrization as they unfold within social policies implemented in Poland. The presented ethnographic description focuses on the institution of adoption. I am telling the story of a young girl adopted as an infant. By creating an ethnographic commentary on the story, I raise the issues of epistemic inequalities, diagnostic cultures, biological reductionism and biopolitical bureaucracy. Methodologically, my analysis is based on in-depth interviews with the adoptive parents, the adopted girl and the people taking care of her at the youth educational centre, as well as numerous diagnostic documents developed by experts co-creating the system of social care in Poland.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza komparatystyczna polskich i amerykańskich rozwiązań prawnych dotyczących prawa do kontaktu rodzica naturalnego z dzieckiem przysposobionym. Wymaga to w pierwszej kolejności zbadania, czy na gruncie polskiego prawa rodzinnego istnieje możliwość umownego kształtowania stosunków rodzinno-prawnych. Dla prowadzenia badań prawno-porównawczych konieczne jest także przedstawienie, przynajmniej w ogólnym zarysie, instytucji open adoption oraz wskazanie implikacji prawnych zawarcia postadoption contact agreement. Pozwoli to odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy inspirowanie się prawem amerykańskim w odniesieniu do tego zagadnienia byłoby właściwe.

Drawing on the processual perspective in management this article explores the process of the institutionalization of new practice in the context of value co-creation. The Service-Dominant logic perspective places the notion of value creation in the interaction between an organization and its customers. Therefore the contemporary research stream shows a bias towards the notion of a customer as a crucial contributor and beneficiary in the value creation process [Vargo and Lusch 2006a, 2008]. Following recent calls for research with a holistic approach it may be assumed that there is an underdeveloped processual perspective on value co-creation that offers a cognitive framework of routines and activities performed on an everyday basis within the Giddensian structuration theory. Using the Giddensian theory value co-creation can be perceived as a platform for the adoption of new practices. The purpose of the article is to determine the role of value co-creation processes in the context of initiating and institutionalizing of new practice in an organization. A comparative case study was carried out which illustrates the thesis that spontaneous actions form an important category of initiating change within the everyday use of value co-creation.

In the first half of 2016, a total of 1660 adoptions were adjudicated. There is no data on the number of women who, being unmarried or single, have decided to be an adoptive mother. However, on the basis of the interviews conducted with employees of adoption centres and entries on Internet forums on adoption, it can be noticed that more and more single women decide on adopting a child. Children who experienced neglect or violence from the parent have insufficient knowledge of a correct family model, roles of both mother and father, and as a result, they did not have a chance to grow up in a world of values, which is important for child development. Starting a life together - by a single mother and an adopted child - opens a new world to these children. This experience is often burdened with educational difficulties, a sense of loneliness and abandonment. Adoptive mothers see how important it is for their children to have a chance for a life full of love and respect despite the negative experiences associated with the relationship with their biological parents. This entire process is integrally connected with the world of values of single women who decide to adopt a child that is not related biologically to them. Hence, the essential questions seem to be: what values would the adoptive mothers like to convey in the process of upbringing their children? Has the hierarchy of values of research participants changed after the adoption of an unrelated child?

W pierwszej połowie 2016 roku łącznie orzeczono 1660 adopcji . Nie ma statystyk dotyczących liczby kobiet niepozostających w związku małżeńskim ani partnerskim, które podjęły decyzję o byciu adopcyjną matką. Jednak można zauważyć (na podstawie przeprowadzonych rozmów z pracownikami ośrodków adopcyjnych, wpisach na forach internetowych dotyczących adopcji), że coraz więcej samotnych kobiet podejmuje decyzję o przysposobieniu dziecka. Doświadczenie przez dziewczynkę/chłopca zaniedbania czy przemocy ze strony rodzica wiąże się z brakiem znajomości prawidłowego wzorca rodziny, pełnionych ról zarówno matki, jak i ojca, a w rezultacie obcowania z (ważnymi dla rozwoju dziecka) wartościami. Rozpoczęcie wspólnego życia – samotnej matki i przysposobionego dziecka – otwiera przed dziećmi nowy świat. Często jest to doświadczenie obarczone trudnościami wychowawczymi, poczuciem osamotnienia i porzucenia. Matki adopcyjne dostrzegają, jak ważne jest, aby ich dzieci – pomimo złych doświadczeń związanych z relacją z biologicznym rodzicem – miały szanse na życie pełne miłości i szacunku. Cały ten proces nieodłącznie związany jest ze światem wartości wyznawanych przez kobiety samotne, które podjęły decyzję o przysposobieniu niespokrewnionego biologicznie dziecka. Stąd istotne wydają się pytania: jakie wartości chciałaby przekazać matki adopcyjne w procesie wychowania swoim dzieciom? Czy hierarchia wartości uczestniczek badań zmieniła się po przysposobieniu niespokrewnionego biologicznie dziecka?

W artykule omówiono wybrane okoliczności egzystencjalne powodujące powstanie problemów sieroctwa. Wskazano na podobieństwa i różnice sytuacji sieroctwa naturalnego i społecznego. Omówiono możliwości optymalizacji oddziaływań dotyczących przejmowania opieki nad dziećmi osieroconymi – w tym wskazano na rolę rodzin zastępczych stosunku adopcyjnego. Artykuł zawiera także odniesienia do zagrożenia wykluczeniem społecznym sierot – w sytuacji doświadczanych przez nie deficytów opiekuńczych.

Celem niniejszej publikacji jest zaprezentowanie tych elementów procedury przysposobienia zagranicznego, które przez literaturę przedmiotu traktowane są w sposób marginalny. Autor koncentruje swoją uwagę na problemie odpowiedniości środków opieki nad dzieckiem, poddając analizie teksty aktów normatywnych krajowych i międzynarodowych. Wymaga to sięgnięcia nie tylko do unormowań odnoszących się do przysposobienia, ale również polskiej konstrukcji pieczy zastępczej, przy uwzględnieniu złożoności tej instytucji prawnej. Konieczne jest bowiem wykazanie relacji pomiędzy możliwościami zastosowania przysposobienia zagranicznego a zróżnicowaną sytuacją prawną pozostających pod pieczą zastępczą małoletnich. Poruszone zostały kwestie związane z koniecznością ustalenia prawa właściwego dla spraw o przysposobienie w odniesieniu do różnych, mogących mieć miejsce w rzeczywistości scenariuszy. Dla zachowania przejrzystości, w sposób syntetyczny została opisana cała procedura przysposobienia zagranicznego. Taki układ pozwala na płynne przejście pomiędzy analizowanymi problemami oraz ukazanie złożoności omawianego postępowania.

The aim of this article is to present selected problems of the proceeding of foreign adoption as it is understood according to The Family and Guardianship Code. The author presents arguments how the legal term ‘suitable’, which is used in Convention to the Rights of the Child and The Family and Guardianship Code, should be understood. An analysis of the term ‘suitable’ requires looking up Polish regulations concerning foster care. Furthermore, the article describes the issue of domestic jurisdiction and governing law of adoption. Text is clearer, because it shows all stages of adoption resulting in the adoptee’s changing his/her current place of residence in Poland to stay in another country.

Artykuł omawia etap bezpośrednio poprzedzający adopcję. W świetle wywiadów z pracownikami wspomagającymi ten proces ukazano trzy aspekty: postrzeganie dziecka, przygotowanie go do przysposobienia oraz fazę rozstania się dziecka z rodziną zastępczą jako moment szczególny. Okres poprzedzający adopcję może być czasem pomocy dziecku w przygotowaniach do spotkania z nowymi rodzicami, a także radenia sobie z ogromem towarzyszących temu przemieszczeniu uczuć. Bardzo wiele zależy od osób zajmujących się dzieckiem w instytucjach pośredniczących, sporo od osób pracujących z kandydatami na rodziców adopcyjnych, a także od samych potencjalnych nowych opiekunów. Z narracji wynika, że to jest czas trudny nie tylko dla dziecka, ale również dla podmiotów z nim obcujących.

The paper discusses the phase immediately preceding adoption. In the light of the interviews with the people supporting this process, 3 of its aspects have been presented: perception of a child, preparation of the child to adoption and a phase of separation of the child with a foster family as a special moment in its life. The time preceding adoption can sometimes be helpful for a child to prepare for meeting its new parents and dealing with the vastness of feelings' alternation accompanying it. A great resposibility lays on the people taking care of the child in the intermediate institutions, the people working with the future parents and as well on the potential new caretakers. The narration provides a proof that this is a very diffucult time not only for the child, but also for all the people taking care of it.

Globalization and Ukraine association with EU imply including Ukrainian universities into the world scientific space. The aim of this article is to analyze the problem of drawing standards teaching, based on the experience of Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas (Ukraine) and to summarize the experience of post Soviet states in a field of the new technical standards implementation. Experience of post Soviet states showed necessity to gradual transition to new standards. Based on this experience, main fundamental principles for new standards and technical regulations harmonization have been presented. The main directions of improving the system of personnel training and retraining in this field are: changing the educational institutions syllabuses to in-depth study of new standards and regulations and the skills to apply them in practice, monitoring the quality of educational programs of secondary and higher educational institutions; development of training programs for engineers and other technical personnel of basic new standards and regulations; compliance training programs and syllabuses for engineers, relevant to international training programs and syllabuses (taking into account the laws and traditions of the technical education in Ukraine); development of the national standards of education and certification on the basis of international standards.
