The purpose of the Act is to reform adoption law to implement proposals in the White Paper 'Adoption - a new approach' (Cm 5017 ISBN 0101501722). The Act replaces the Adoption Act 1976 and has three parts. Part 1 sets out the framework of adoption law in England and Wales and places a duty on local authorities to maintain an adoption service. Part 2 amends the Children Act 1989 in relation to the acquisition of parental responsibility and the local authorities powers to provide accommodation for children in need. Part 3 makes miscellaneous provision, including advertising and establishing the Adoption and Children Act Register.
