Description

It amended the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) and also changed parts of the labor and civil codes connected to adoption situations. The law addressed procedures involving voluntary surrender, loss of parental power, foster care, and adoption processes. It aimed to improve legal clarity and protections for children and adolescents. Because it reshaped adoption-related rules nationwide, it is treated as a major social-policy legal change.
