framework, adoption (meaning of a word)

Dear members of the website,

I would like to ask you the meaning of a word that is used in the law field. The question below was asked in an examination. We had to choose one of the options written below to put the blank in the sentence above. I think there were two correct answers. 1) Adoption, 2) Framework. Don't you think that the word adoption can be used to say that Few Arab governments have any legal regulation that has been adopted by the government to monitor arms trade.

Thank you in advance.

1. Few Arab governments have any legal ---- to monitor arms trade.

A) interpretation
B) framework
C) judgement
D) adoption
E) obsession

The Law Wiki is still very new and so it's a great time to jump in and start updating it and learning how to use it. You really can't mess anything up, because all revisions are stored and can be rolled back by a moderator, so play away and you can help make this a great resource for WORLDLawDirect visitors.

Not really--it does not make sense in English.

I would agree as I read over this.

adoption

[legal definition of adoption]

A two-step judicial process in conformance to state statutory provisions in which the legal obligations and rights of a child toward the biological parents are terminated and new rights and obligations are created between the child and the adoptive parents.

Adoption involves the creation of the parent-child relationship between individuals who are not naturally so related. The adopted child is given the rights, privileges, and duties of a child and heir by the adoptive family.

Since adoption was not recognized at Common Law, all adoption procedures in the United States are regulated by statute. Adoption statutes prescribe the conditions, manner, means, and consequences of adoption. In addition, they specify the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.

De facto adoption is a Voidable agreement to adopt a child, based on a statutory proceeding in a particular state, which becomes lawful when the petition to adopt is properly presented.

Equitable adoption, sometimes referred to as virtual adoption, is treated by the law as final for certain purposes in spite of the fact that it has not been formally executed. When adoption appears to comply with standards of fairness and justice, some states will grant a child the rights of one who has been adopted even though the adoption procedure is incomplete. An equitable adoption might be enforced by the court for the benefit of a child in order to determine inheritance rights, for example. Similarly, adoption by Estoppel is the equitable adoption of a child by promises and acts that prevent the adoptive parents and their estates from denying the child adoptive status.
