For legal "transfer" of children to others, Article 2 of the Measures for the Registration of Children Adopted by Chinese Citizens stipulates that "Chinese citizens who adopt children in China or terminate the adoptive relationship by agreement shall register in accordance with the provisions of these Measures". Article 4 stipulates: "The parties involved in the adoption relationship shall go through the registration formalities for the establishment of the adoption relationship with the adoption authority in person. If the husband and wife adopt a child together, they shall go through the registration formalities with the adoption registration authority jointly;"; If one party is unable to go there in person for some reason, it shall entrust the other party in writing to go through the registration procedures, and the power of attorney shall be certified by the villagers' committee or the residents' committee or notarized. ". In other words, both parents need to agree that there must be no one who places out the child for adoption to hide from his or her family. Only with the consent of both the husband and the wife can "transfer".
 In addition, after all, the object of "transfer" is special, so the transferor should comply with the provisions of Article 5 of the law: "The following citizens and organizations can be the person who places out the child for adoption: the guardian of orphans, social welfare institutions, and parents who have special difficulties and are unable to raise their children". In this article, "birth parents" are mentioned, but it should also be noted that its limiting condition is really "those who have special difficulties and are unable to raise children", rather than those who have given birth to several more daughters and want to give their daughters to another son; It is also not the case of accidental pregnancy during the period of unmarried, unable to raise by oneself and unwilling to drag down their parents so as to "transfer" their children to others for adoption.
 Of course, not everyone can become a legal adopter. In Article 6, the following provisions are made on the qualifications of the adopter: "The adopter shall meet the following conditions at the same time: at least 30 years of age, be able to raise the child, have diseases that cannot be pregnant and have no children as explained by the hospital." In addition, it should be noted that the child sent for adoption must be under 14 years of age, and there is no adoption relationship formed by any of these conditions, They have no legal effect.
