Legislative evolution of the goals of child adoption as a reflection of the process of modernization of society in the common law states. Abstract: The article is devoted to the legislative evolution of goals of child adoption throughout various historical periods up to the modern time. Much attention is paid to the goals of adoption in the common law states, such as the USA, the GB, Australia, where currently adoption is a priority form for the children left without care of parents. The need to clearly establish the goals for adoption would allow to include new types of adoption, serving the best interests of children. The key change in modern legislation on adoption is that it’s now a “child-oriented” process, and it serves as means to find a family for a child, not a child for a family. Keywords: jurisprudence, goals of adoption, inheriting the property, support and development of relative families, exploitation adoption, de-facto charity adoption, children born out of wedlock, “pregnancy boom”, well-being of a child, adoption of children, left without care of their parents This article is unavailable for unregistered users.
