Key legal question
Whether the foreign adoption could be recognized in Switzerland despite concerns about parental consent and public policy.
Extracted holding
The Macedonian full adoption was recognizable; the record sufficiently showed parental consent or, at minimum, no obvious violation of Swiss public policy.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that further material review of the foreign adoption was barred; the biological mother’s consent was presumed from the foreign procedure, and even without it the adoption would not offend Swiss ordre public because she had long abandoned the child.
