ADOPTION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - SECT 26

1967 c.25

26.(1) Where the Registrar General is notified by the authority maintaining a
register of adoptions in England and Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Man or any
of the Channel Islands that an order has been made in that country authorising
the adoption of an infant to whom an entry in the Register of Births or the
Adopted Children Register relates, he shall cause the entry to be marked with
the word "Adopted" or "Re-adopted" as the case may require, followed by the
name, in brackets of the country in which the order was made.

(2) Where, after an entry has been so marked, the Registrar General is
notified as aforesaid that the order has been quashed, that an appeal against
the order has been allowed or that the order has been revoked, he shall cause
the marking to be cancelled; and a copy or extract of an entry in any
register, being an entry the marking of which is cancelled under this
subsection, shall be deemed to be an accurate copy if and only if both the
marking and the cancellation are omitted therefrom.

(3) The preceding provisions of this section shall apply in relation to orders
corresponding to orders under section 38 as they apply in relation to orders
authorising the adoption of an infant; but any marking of an entry required by
virtue of this subsection shall consist of the word "Provisionally" followed
by the words mentioned in subsection (1).

(4) Without prejudice to subsections (2) and (3) where, after an entry in the
Register of Births has been marked in accordance with this section the birth
is re-registered under section 30 of the Births and Deaths Registration Act
(Northern Ireland) 1967 (which provides for the re-registration of the births
of legitimated persons), the entry made on the re-registration shall be marked
in the like manner.
