Adoption differs from fostering in a number of ways. Adoption is a legal process by which all parental rights and responsibilities are permanently transferred to the adoptive parents by a court. The child legally becomes part of the adoptive family, as if they had been born into it, and subsequently (usually) take the family’s surname. (PracticingParents.com)

Same-sex female couples will be able to register both their names on a child’s birth certificate to affirm their parental rights under a new Bill being introduced by the Government. (The Irish Times)
