Abstract

The article presents a vision of the importance of guaranteeing the right to acquire and guarantee a nationality in the host country for children and adolescents in international adoptions that are carried out under the aegis of the Hague Convention on International Adoption. The first stage of the investigation begins with the research of constitutional and Brazilian norms that define the institute of nationality. Then there is the extent to which a constitutionalisation of international law has taken place with regard to fundamental rights, in particular that of becoming a citizen. Subsequently, the research seeks to explain how the granting of nationality in the countries of child and adolescent adoption in inter-state adoptions, in order to verify if the dictates of the Hague Convention on International Adoption are being respected. This research aims at demonstrating the importance of adapting internal norms to the conventional text in order to consolidate the real needs of adoptees for the full enjoyment of rights in adopter countries.
