This book explains, compares and evaluates the social and legal
functions of adoption within a range of selected jurisdictions and
on an international basis. It updates and extends the second
edition published by Springer in 2009. From a standpoint of the
development of adoption in England & Wales and the changes
currently taking place there, it considers the process as it has
evolved in other countries. It identifies themes of commonality and
difference in the experience of adoption in a common law context as
compared and contrasted with that of other countries. It looks at
adoption in France, Sweden and other civil law countries, as well
as Japan and elsewhere in Asia, including a focus on Islamic
adoption. It examines the experience of indigenous people in New
Zealand and Australia, contrasting the highly regulated legal
process of modern western society with the traditional practice of
indigenous communities such as the Maori. A new chapter studies
adoption in China. The book uses the international Conventions and
associated ECtHR case law to benchmark developments in national
law, policy and practice and to facilitate a cross-cultural
comparative analysis.
