National adoption laws
National, or domestic, adoption laws deal with issues such as step-parent adoption, adoption by cohabitees, adoption by single parents and LGBT adoption.[1] Adoption laws in some countries may be affected by religious considerations such as adoption in Islam.
Specific laws
Laws vary widely from country to country and in the case of adoption in the United States, from state to state.
Intercountry adoption laws
Intercountry adoption laws vary widely.[2]
