| declarar en estado de abandono declare to have been abandoned/released for adoption Explanation: "Abandono" can be translated as "neglect" in some contexts, but here it means abandoned, as in released for adoption. There's some more context in Olivia's previous question. I prefer "released for adoption" - "abandoned" implies that the parents have just walked away, whereas it may be a heartbreaking decision. But you may prefer to stay closer to the Spanish. Reference: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/law_general/630... |
