Title VII — Adoption

Article 190

EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

Adoption severs the adoptee's legal ties with their biological family — for all legal purposes (inheritance, parental authority, obligation of support) the biological family relationship ends and the adoptive relationship takes over. Exception: the adoptee may still marry a biological relative (though incest bars still apply to them).
