Paternity and Adoption Leave (Adoption from Overseas) Regulations 2003 come into force

The Regulations apply the Paternity and Adoption Leave Regulations 2002 to overseas adoptions. An adoption from overseas is the adoption of a child who enters Great Britain from outside the United Kingdom in connection with or for the purposes of adoption, which does not involve the placement of a child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
