National adoption laws

[edit]

National, or domestic, adoption laws deal with issues such as step-parent adoption, adoption by cohabitees, adoption by single parents[broken anchor] and LGBT adoption.[1] Adoption laws in some countries may be affected by religious considerations such as adoption in Islam.

Specific laws

[edit]

Laws vary widely from country to country and in the likes of United States, from state to state.

Intercountry adoption laws

[edit]

Intercountry adoption laws vary widely.[2]

Other prospective parents choose a particular country because more infants are available immediately."
