!!!Adoption

Adoption: gives a child the legal status of a legitimate child. 
Adoption is subject to approval by the courts in Austria. 
Prerequisites for adoption are that the adoptive parents have to have 
the legal capacity to enter into contracts, the man has to be at least 
30 years old, the woman at least 28. There also has to be a difference 
in age of at least 18 years between the adoptive parents and the 
adopted child. Parties involved can apply for a confidential adoption, 
which means that the adoptive parents' names and place of residence 
are kept secret.
