Features: Adoption has become a hot topic in today's international society, and the phenomenon of adopting children domestically and across borders is becoming increasingly common. This objectively requires comparative studies of the legislation and theoretical doctrines of adoption laws in various countries, clarifying the specific provisions of adoption laws in different nations, eliminating or avoiding conflicts in adoption laws, and ensuring the smooth progress of both domestic and cross-border adoptions. This book adopts a combined approach of theoretical and normative comparison, analyzing adoption laws of different legal systems and countries, while also comprehensively examining the similarities and differences in adoption legal systems across various regions of China. It is currently the most detailed comparative adoption law monograph available both domestically and internationally, incorporating outstanding research achievements from around the world. It blends theoretical elaboration with empirical analysis, forming an organic unity of theoretical and applied aspects. Its theoretical value and practical significance are highly prominent, serving as both a theoretical basis for judicial and civil affairs departments to handle adoption-related issues, and an invaluable teaching and research reference for law majors in higher education institutions. Additionally, it serves as a reference for China's legislative bodies to improve and refine adoption legislation, particularly in constructing the Civil Code by searching for comparable international examples.
