Description

Explore the complex history of adoption in England through this detailed study covering the years 1918 to 1945.

Readers will examine the legal evolution of adoption, starting from its legalization in 1926 through the regulatory reforms of the 1930s. The text provides a deep look at the increasing importance of secrecy in adoption processes and how regulations were finally enforced in 1943 to address concerns regarding casual wartime adoptions.
