In case of foreign adoption, the child must have the same guarantees and measures than those existing in the case of national adoption. The state must ensure that the child's placement abroad does not result in improper financial gain for those involved in it. The Congolese Family Code regulates adoption in Articles 276 to 276 298. The article states: "Adoption may take place only if there is good cause and if it has advantages for the adoptee ". Article 283 includes an obligation for children aged above 15 years to personally consent to the adoption and article 284 provides for the consent of the family of origin. The court may decide only after investigation and possibly after checking that all the legal requirements have been met. The Law 4 -2010 of 14 June 2010 in its Article 59 refers not only to the provisions of the Family Code but especially strengthens the mechanism of inter country adoption. The measures taken by the Congolese legislator in adoption of the child were only in his/her interest. The Congolese people have yet a culture of adoption because of the survival of the spirit of family solidarity, which in practice, and according to the Family Code, extends to the 8th grade. Which means that because of insecurity or poverty, some parents with brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles and children in Europe, in the interest of their children, engage increasingly in intra family adoption. This is understood as the "fostering" of the child to a family member. Extra family adoption is not significant. The most frequent cases of international adoption, considering the number of pending cases and judgments, concern children abandoned, dumped or found. Due to the leniency that occurs in the courts for holding regular records in general, and those for adoptions in particular, it is impossible to provide reliable data even in Brazzaville. It should be noted that in statistical terms, Congo is not a country great purveyor of children for international adoption. We can estimate an average of 30 children. As an indication, in Brazzaville, in 2006 and 2007, European families adopted about twenty children, including Spanish families. In 2010, 19 children were involved; most of them abandoned children coming from the private and public centres. Applicants are mostly French families. From 2011 to 2013 statistics from adoption services have established the movement as follows: Year 2011 City National Internat.
