<![CDATA[Adoption of children in Indonesian law transfers the responsibility of parenting without severing the child's blood relationship with the biological parents. This distinction raises the question of how adoptive parents provide economic recognition to adopted children without changing their fate and inheritance position. This study analyzes adopted children's position as grant recipients, grant limits, and the relevance of court decisions on grants and mandatory wills. The research uses normative legal methods with legislative, conceptual, and case approaches. Primary legal materials include relevant regulations, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), the Civil Code, and four court decisions. Supreme Court Decision Number 1818 K/Pdt/2008 is the main decision because it addresses grant disputes involving adopted children. The Palangka Raya District Court decision serves as a comparator on adopted children's position in inheritance, while the two Syar'iyah Court decisions serve as comparators on mandatory wills. The last two decisions are not treated as a direct basis for determining the validity of grants. The analysis shows that grants and compulsory wills must be distinguished by their legal basis, the time of giving, and their object. This study proposes affective kinship as an analytical framework rather than a new source of inheritance rights to assess when the parenting relationship can obtain patrimonial recognition through legal instruments without changing the fate and position of the heirs.]]>
