[Kemobrown 567]

ORPHANS ADOPTION ACT

In the event that an Orphan decides to reside within the City State of Yong Ping, this Act will bring into place support structures to help them settle into the community.

 

 

---

 

一。 We hereby define the term ‘Orphan’ as a personage yet to reach the age of adulthood [18] and lacks an existing guardian or parent. This also includes children who have not been claimed by either parent, regardless if the parent is a Yong Ping citizen.

 

二。Orphans will be taken under the Care of the State, with food and shelter provided. In return, the Orphan will provide service for the State, whether that be military or government related.

 

三。If an Adult wishes to adopt an Orphan, they must obtain the consent of the Orphan first and acquire an adoption form from any Officer of the Ministry of Justice.

 

四。Once adopted, the Orphan is expected to take their Guardian’s family name and register under the family name registry. If later on the guardian and dependent wish to separate, they will have to return the Orphan back to the State’s Care if the Orphan is yet to become an adult.

 

五。This Act is primarily aimed to ensure that children without guardians are properly cared for and raised with a means to support themselves upon reaching adulthood.

 

六。This Act will come into effect from Year 16th of the Second Age.

 

Signed,

Li Xiuying Minister of Justice
