EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 (c. 22) made provision for the parenthood of children born as a result of assisted reproduction. These Regulations amend forms relating to births to reflect those changes.
The Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007 provides for adoptions by same-sex couples and these Regulations also amend forms relating to registration of adoptions to reflect this.
Regulations 2 to 5 amend forms in the Adopted Children Register and Parental Order Register (Form of Entry) (Scotland) Regulations 1995, the Registration of Foreign Adoptions (Scotland) Regulations 2003, the Registration of Civil Partnerships (Prescription of Forms, Publicisation and Errors) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 and the Book of Scottish Connections Regulations 2008.
Regulation 3 also amends the Registration of Foreign Adoptions (Scotland) Regulations 2003 so that foreign adoptions can only be registered if the parent or parents are habitually resident in Scotland.
