«Статус Европейской конвенции об усыновлении детей (ETS N 58) (Страсбург, 24 апреля 1967 года)» [рус., англ.] (по состоянию на 24.01.2011)

23 subsection 1).
Article 14
Reference is made to the information given below in connection with Article 26.
Article 15
According to paragraph 9 of the Adoption Act information must be acquired before an adoption is granted as to whether any reward has been or will be paid by any of the parties, and if this is the case how much. If a reward has been or will be paid to the adopter the granting of the adoption may be made conditional upon a guarantee that the reward shall wholly or in part be used for the benefit of the adopted child. It is hence possible to prevent improper financial advantage arising from a child being given up for adoption.
In this connection it should also be mentioned that a provision in paragraph 26 of the Child Welfare Act of 17 July 1953 No. 14 makes it unlawful for private persons to engage in child placement activities irrespective of whether the children are placed for adoption. A contravention of this provision is punishable. Organisations are likewise prohibited from engaging in such activities unless they have been granted permission by the Ministry of Social Affairs, which in such event will supervise the said activities.
Part III
Supplementary provisions
Article 17
There is no provision in the Adoption Act providing that a child must have been in the care of the adopter for a certain period before the adoption is granted.
When an adoption is prepared by a public placement bureau the child, as a general rule, is placed in a suitable institution under observation for at least two months. This is, however, not the case when the child prior to the adoption has been placed in the home of the adopter as a foster child. The time a child will be in the care of the adopter after the period of observation mentioned above before the adoption is granted varies rather considerably.
Article 18
According to paragraph 26 subsection (b) of the Child Welfare Act of 17 July 1953 No. 14 it is unlawful for private persons to engage in child placement activities in Norway, and organisations may only engage in such activities if they have been granted permission by the Ministry of Social Affairs. At present there are 8 public placement bureaux in Norway, and work is in progress for the establishment of at least one bureau in each county (fylke). Plans for the establishment and the activities of a bureau must be approved by the Ministry of Social Affairs. It has been made a condition for such approval that the activities are to be supervised by an expert council.
Article 19
Instruction in the social and legal aspects of adoption is given in all schools that train social workers. In the last plan of instruction, which was recently sent the Ministry of Church and Education for approval, and which will be applicable to all Schools on Social Affairs, the part of the curriculum dealing with questions of adoption has been expanded.
Article 20
There is no provision in the Adoption Act prohibiting an adoption to be completed without disclosing to the child's family the identity of the adopter (and vice versa). Such anonymous adoptions are the rule in Norway.
Petitions for adoption are in Norway administrative matters (cf. what has been said in connection with Article 4 above). The public is not given access to such matters, and the civil servants who handle adoption-matters are under a duty of secrecy.
The rule of paragraph 3 has been practiced in Norway since 1960.
The requirements of paragraph 4 have been observed in Norway for a long period.
