It commences with an introductory chapter giving an overview of relevant laws and practices and pulling together the common themes and issues raised in the book. Each of the following chapters deals with adoption law and practice in a small South Pacific country. The countries in question all have plural legal systems, with systems of adoption and its closest customary law equivalent operating side by side. In most cases, there is an insufficiently developed relationship between the two systems, which has resulted in a number of problems. Additionally, international law adds another layer of complexity. Size and remoteness in the small states under discussion have a profound impact on local practices.-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Adoption $z Islands of the Pacific. 650 0 $a Adoption $x Law and legislation $z Islands of the Pacific. 650 7 $a Adoption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797076 650 7 $a Adoption $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797091 651 7 $a Pacific Ocean $z Islands of the Pacific. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244201 700 1 $a Corrin, Jennifer, $e editor. 700 1 $a Farran, Susan, $e editor. 830 0 $a World of small states ; $v 5. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=125315B2177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
