/ʃæm əˈdɒpʃən/ – Phrase
Definition: giả vờ nhận con nuôi.
A more thorough explanation: Sham adoption refers to a fraudulent or deceptive adoption arrangement where the parties involved do not genuinely intend to create a legal parent-child relationship. This term is often used in cases where individuals enter into an adoption agreement for improper purposes, such as to obtain immigration benefits or to deceive others about the true nature of their relationship. Sham adoption is considered illegal and can result in legal consequences for those involved.
Example: The court found that the sham adoption was conducted solely for the purpose of evading immigration laws.
