Canon 29

1. By virtue of baptism, a child who has not yet completed his

fourteenth year of age is enrolled in the Church sui iuris of the

Catholic father; or the Church sui iuris of the mother if only

the mother is Catholic or if both parents by agreement freely request it, with due regard for particular law established by the

Apostolic See. 2. If the child who has not yet completed his

fourteenth year is: (1) born of an unwed mother, he is enrolled

in the Church sui iuris to which the mother belongs; (2) born of

unknown parents, he is to be enrolled in the Church sui iuris of

those in whose care he has been legitimately committed are enrolled; if it is a case of an adoptive father and mother, 1

should be applied; (3) born of non-baptized parents, the child

is to be a member of the Church sui iuris of the one who is responsible for his education in the Catholic faith.
