Does Panamanian law permit the adoption of nephews or family members?

By Natalia Álvarez (project manager).
Last Update: 02/01/2017

The law permits the adoption of a relative of second degree of affinity or fourth degree of consanguinity of either spouse, provided a judge approves that the conditions of the adopters are suitable for the adoptee. This means that it is possible to adopt grandchildren, siblings and brothers-in-law (second degree of affinity) and cousins (fourth degree of consanguinity).
