Abstract
Despite the fact that the procedure of transnational adoption can be successfully completed in accordance with the laws of the State of origin as well as with the laws of the receiving State, the recognition of this decision is still an urgent issue. The competent authorities or even the court of the receiving State should state that the adoption order made in the State of origin is legal. Still, sometimes it is necessary to pass a new procedure of re-adoption. Only after this procedure, a child is entitled a right to inherit and a right to apply for the citizenship of the receiving State. Another problem highlighted in this article is legal consequences of the adoption and the equivalent of this form of childcare in Islamic States called 'kafala'. The analysis of judicial practice demonstrates that there are still a lot of collisions of interests between both the foreign adoptive parents and the legal system of the State of origin of the child, and between the adopter and the laws of the receiving state.
