However, one must understand the true extent of their intervention. A fundamental distinction structures the entire topic: <strong>finding a person is not the same as establishing filiation<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Two different approaches lead to radically different consequences:<\/p><p><strong>Finding the person (the search for history):<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>A factual and human approach. It consists of identifying or contacting one\u2019s biological father or mother without affecting civil status. In other words, it is a search aimed at establishing amicable contact. The goal is historical truth, sometimes through the National Council for Access to Personal Origins in cases of anonymous birth.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Establishing filiation (creating a legal bond):<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>A strictly legal process before a judge. Filiation creates numerous rights and obligations for both children and parents (parental authority, child support, inheritance rights, transmission of the surname).<\/li><\/ul><p>The right to know one\u2019s origins is recognized at the highest level. Articles 7 and 8 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child grant every child, as far as possible, the right to know their parents and preserve their identity. The Civil Code organizes filiation in Articles 310 and following, distinguishing established filiation from filiation yet to be determined.<\/p><p>Two situations must be separated:<\/p><ul><li>The biological parent is <strong>known but missing<\/strong>: a name and sometimes an address exist, and the goal is to locate them.<\/li><li>The biological parent is <strong>unknown<\/strong>: no identity has ever been established, and the investigator must reconstruct an identity from clues.<\/li><\/ul><p>These two cases require different investigative work and offer different chances of success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb5e119 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb5e119\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Investigator\u2019s Scope of Intervention<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b1f350 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b1f350\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Private investigators are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agora-detectives.com\/faire-appel-a-un-detective-prive-les-etapes-cles\/\">regulated professionals<\/a> bound by ethical rules.
