Adoption
Adoption in Cambodia is regulated by the Civil Code and specific adoption procedures administered by the competent authorities. We advise prospective adoptive parents (Cambodian and, where permitted, foreign) on eligibility, the required documentation, home-study and matching processes, and the court or administrative steps leading to a final adoption order. Inter-country adoption is subject to additional safeguards and is possible only under the conditions prescribed by Cambodian law and any applicable international conventions to which Cambodia is a party. We guide clients through the process with careful attention to timing, documentation and the legal effect of the adoption on parental rights and the child’s status.
