Abstract
By studying most legal systems, an institution called adoption can be seen in them. The individual and social benefits of adoption and the society's essential needs for this institution make it accepted among different societies. The purpose of this research is to compare the adoption of children in the legal system of Iran and England. Through the descriptive and analytical methods, we have concluded that in English law, the courts take into account the welfare of the child and order adoption, and also they consider the adopted child as a real child, although in the legal system of Iran, a law was passed in 2013 to protect orphaned children, which does not accept adoption in Western countries, including England, and has not accepted full adoption. Also, guardianship conditions are completely different in Iran and England, and accordingly, the end of adoption is also different.
