Abstract
The article analyzes the advisability of limiting the principle of publicity in the consideration of civil cases regarding child adoption. The substantial reasons for this are as follows. First, the need to protect the interests of the adoptive parents who make the difficult decision to accept a child into the family in the hope that the child will consider them as his parents through which they can build a communication with him and his upbringing. Second, the need to protect the interests of children whose full upbringing and development are possible if they are convinced that they are growing up in their home family. Third, the need to protect the interests of biological parents who may not wish to publicize that they were forced to transfer their children for adoption and many other reasons. Meanwhile, the interest of society to access information about this category is also noted by scientists specializing in various fields of knowledge, lawyers, sociologists teachers, psychologists, and potential adoptive parents who wish to further understand what child adoption entails in their future and the experience of recognized members of society regarding child adoption. Thus, a procedural rule guaranteeing the secrecy of child adoption is formulated as follows: “the court is obliged to hold a closed court hearing if there is an application for this by the adoptive parents”.
