Análisis de medidas de protección para menores en proceso de adopción en Ecuador

Abstract

This study analyzes the protection measures for minors up for adoption in Ecuador, focusing on problems and deficiencies of the system. Adoption guarantees the well-being of the minor in a safe environment, prioritizing their best interests. Using a qualitative methodology, interviews were conducted with legal professionals, revealing barriers such as bureaucracy, lack of information and long waiting times. It is concluded that the process is ineffective and requires urgent reforms to streamline it, improve support for adoptive families and ensure that the interest of the child is the central axis.
