Written by authors with a wealth of experience in this area, this title looks at the background to the laws and their evolution, current challenges, and likely future developments. Topics covered range from the enormous challenges presented by the Adoption Act 2010 for prospective adopting couples, and support available for LGBTQ+ couples or single parents, through to domestic and international considerations for surrogacy or Assisted Human Re-production Family formation.
A challenge for law in this field is its need to keep pace with both society and science. This timely book is the first to offer dedicated coverage of these issues. For practitioners who are assisting clients with putting legal shape on their alternatively-formed family, this book delivers comprehensive guidance.
