Originally, adoption was primarily seen as a solution for couples who could not have biological children. With the advancement of legislation, including the 1988 Federal Constitution and the Statute of the Child and Adolescent, adoption has gained a robust legal foundation and has become recognized as a fundamental right for the formation of families.This work aimed to analyze the imposition of restrictions by adopters during the adoption qualification process and investigate whether such restrictions could result in discrimination against the adoptees. The research was based on the principles of equality, justice, and the best interest of the child and adolescent, seeking to demonstrate that the imposition of these restrictions often results in increased delays in adoption processes and limits the opportunities for children and adolescents to be placed in permanent homes.To address the objectives of this study, an inductive method was employed, supported by bibliographic, doctrinal, and legislative research. The results indicate that the imposition of restrictions can indeed lead to discrimination against adoptees, to the extent that it disregards important principles such as equality and the best interest of the child and adolescent. There is a need for greater awareness and dissemination to inform the public about the delays and principle violations caused by these restrictions.pt-BRDireitoAdoçãoRestrições de adotantesMelhor interesse da criançaLegislaçãoTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
