The applicant, X., is a Croatian national who was born in 1972 and lives in Zagreb. In May 2001 the applicant was divested of her capacity to act on the ground that she was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. The case concerns the applicant’s complaint that her daughter, A., born in 1999, was given up for adoption without her knowledge, consent or participation in the proceedings and even though she had never been formally divested of her parental rights. She relies, in particular, on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life), Article 6.1 (right to a fair hearing) and Article 13 (right to an effective remedy).
