Cases on children's adoption now with DSWD’s NACC not before trial courts

Cases involving adoption of children are now administrative instead of judicial proceedings and should be filed before the National Authority for Child Care (NACC) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and not with the trial courts.

Adoption cases now pending before the trial courts should be withdrawn first before they can be transferred to NACC for resolution, the Supreme Court (SC) said.
