Adoption may be considered a process "to take into one's family through legal means and raised as one's own child". (The Groiler International Dictionary, vol. 1, 1981 : Houghton Mifflin Company).
Adoption is also defined as "a judicial act which creates between two persons a relationship similar to that which results from legitimate paternity and filiation" (A Valverde 473, quoted in Prasnick vs. Rep. of the Phil. 665). (Civil Law Reviewer by Desiderio P. Jurado, 1882 Twelfth Edition with Supplement published by National Book Store, Inc.)
Rule 1 of OCRG Circular No. 90-2 dated 28 March 1990 likewise define Adoption as a legal process pursuant to P.D. No. 603, as amended by Executive Order No. 209 (Family Code of the Philippines) in which a child's legal right and duties toward his natural parents are terminated and similar rights and duties toward his adoptive parents are substituted.
Adoption is always a juridical act (Lazatin v. Campos, 92 SCRA 250) and it cannot be granted administratively. And because there can be no valid adoption without a court decree granting the same, a mere agreement of adoption between the adopters and the parents of the child is not a valid adoption (Ynigo v. Republic, 95 Phil. 244), nor the mere fact that the child has lived with the alleged adopter who had treated him like his own child sufficient to establish a valid adoption between the alleged adopter and the child (Lazatin v. Campos, 92 SCRA 250).
