The Adoption and Children Act 2002 is a law that allows unmarried people and same-sex couples in England and Wales to adopt children. The reforms introduced in the Act were based on a comprehensive review of adoption and were described by The Guardian as "the most radical overhaul of adoption legislation for almost 30 years". The Act also introduced a procedure to allow people to trace relatives given up for adoption through an intermediary if both persons are over 18. An equivalent Act was passed in Scotland in 2007.
