Abstract

The new Spanish Act on International adoption («Ley 54/2007 de 28 de diciembre de adopción internacional») contains different provisions on international jurisdicion. Articles 14 and 15 face these topics with innovative perspectives. Jurisdiction of Spanish courts to establish international adoptions subsists only when the constitutional Minimum Contact Test is guaranteed. So Jurisdiction of the Spanish courts may be disregarded if the specific case does not present real connections with Spain. On the other hand, this new Spanish Act allows Spanish courts to modify international adoptions and to transform foreign simple adoptions into adoptions in the Spanish sense of this legal institution («adopción plena»). In general, this new Act 54/2007 contains creative solutions which may be useful to solve the intricate problems arose by international adoptions in a country like Spain, which receives thousands of adoption order made by foreign authorities and involving foreign children.
