Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 54 of 2007 Concerning Implementation of Child Adoption and Compilation of Islamic Law, where these rules really protect the implementation of child adoption before the law. However, in fact in its practice there are still adoptions that do not follow the rule of law. This research is intended to provide an explanation of how the implementation of child adoption is viewed from Islamic law and customary law in Bener Meriah Regency, how legal protection for child adoption is viewed from Islamic law and customary law in Bener Meriah Regency and what the legal implications are for the adoption of children who are adopted through a court decision and those who are adopted without going through a court (custom). The results of the study show that the implementation of child adoption carried out by the community is still not in accordance with the implementation procedures both according to Islamic law and according to local customary law. In terms of legal protection, both children and adoptive parents do not have clear legal protection because there is no determination of the application for adoption and does not involve Village apparatus in accordance with the rule of law. The legal implication of adoption through a court or syar'iyah court is that the rights of adopted children are protected and have clear legal force before the law. If it is done outside the court, the child will not get guaranteed rights before the law.
