The very basic definition of adoption is that it is the creation of a parent-child relationship between persons who are not related so by birth. The minimum function of law in creating this artificial parent-child relationship is to put it on par with the natural one. In practical terms, it means that the same mutual rights and obligations that normally exist between parent and a child born to them would automatically apply to the adopted child in relation to the adopted family.
