These Regulations, made under section 80B(8) of that Act, provide for section 80B to have effect, with modifications, in relation to an adoption from overseas. This means the adoption of a child who enters Great Britain from outside the United Kingdom in connection with or for the purposes of an adoption which does not involve the placement of the child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom.",
