Abstract

A process of adoption of a minor is analysed in which the adoptive parents suffer from mental disorders and live in an unhealthy physical context of Diogenes Syndrome. Said psychopathological condition of the adoptive parent candidates is not only established by the accreditation of the documentation and clinical history of both, but also with the visual observation of the physical conditions of the home in which the minor was intended to be welcomed. From both of the aforementioned elements (clinical documentation and visual inspection of the home of the adoptive parents candidates), the subsequent expert non-intervention was determined to assess the parental capacity of the adoption applicants.
