Abstract

The presentation critically examines the structural and subjective limitations of Italian adoption law, particularly its rigid distinction between foster care and full adoption and its continued reliance on a marriage-centred family model. It proposes a child-centred reform based on the best interests of the child, family pluralism, and the legal recognition of stable relationships of care.
