Revisiting the Issues: The Uniform Adoption Act.
Hollinger, Joan Heifetz
Future of Children, v5 n3 p205-11 Win 1995
Discusses how a complex regulatory system, along with a lack of consensus about the functions served by adoption, produces uncertainty on many basic issues, including distinguishing lawful adoption versus illegal "baby-selling." The author recommends passage of more uniform state adoption laws, describes the 1994 Uniform Adoption Act, and discusses the likelihood of its enactment by the states. (GR)
