Abstract

ABSTRACT

Not all married couples are immediately given children from their relationship. Therefore, many couples choose to adopt children, because they do not get offspring. Child adoption in Indonesia consists of two types, namely, child adoption between Indonesian citizens and child adoption between Indonesian citizens and foreigners. The requirements and procedures for the adoption of Indonesian children by foreigners are regulated in Government Regulation No. 54/2007 on the Implementation of Child Adoption and Minister of Social Affairs Regulation No. 110/2009 on Child Adoption Requirements. Like biological children, adopted children also have the opportunity to inherit from their adoptive parents. The Civil Code recognizes the term testament or will. The purpose of this writing is to understand the requirements that must be met by foreigners when they want to adopt Indonesian children and analyze how the distribution related to the inheritance rights of Indonesian children who have been adopted by foreigners based on Civil Inheritance law. The type of research used in this research is normative juridical with a Statute Approach and Conceptual Approach. The result of this research is that foreigners can adopt Indonesian children as a last resort but must fulfill the conditions regulated by Indonesian law. Foreign adoptive parents can provide testamentary grants addressed to their adopted children. So that one day the adopted child can receive inheritance when the adoptive parent has passed away. However, this testamentary grant must not reduce the absolute rights or Legitime Portie of the biological child.
