| Adoptions, Adoption Policy and Practice - United States, Canada, Australia (2814 words) |
 | South Australia was the first state in Australia to put in place adoption legislation which seeks to protect and support the relationship between a newborn child and his or her families of origin, as well as allowing equal access to adoption information when the adopted child becomes an adult. |
| In South Australia, if the adopters are willing, they can have their names added to the child's original birth certificate instead of having a new one issued. |
| In Australia, children who are unable to live with their families can be provided with a safe home environment, based on an arrangement which accepts and honours the reality of their identity and their existing relationships. |
