About this listen
There's growing pleas for broader changes to adoption laws before an international ban lifts.
The Government's looking to suspend some international adoptions until 2027 while it works on new adoption laws due to safety and child abuse concerns.
Adoption researcher Dr Barbara Sumner says other legislation also needs changing, noting overseas adoptees switch to the 1955 Adoption Act on arrival.
"There are no guarantees that any adoptive home is safe. No checks, no balances - because once you're under the 55 Act, it's not welfare."
