Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the stepfather’s adoption request was admissible after the child reached majority during the proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The adoption provisions for minors still applied because the child was a minor when the request was filed; the parental-consent requirement fell away once majority was reached during the case.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 268(3) CC, the minor-adoption rules remain applicable if their conditions were met earlier; however, parental consent is no longer required when majority is attained during the procedure.
