ADOPTION (HAGUE CONVENTION) ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 8

8.(1) The direction contained in a convention adoption order in pursuance of
section 24 of the Act of 1967 (under which the Registrar General is required
to register adoptions in the Adopted Children Register) shall include an
instruction that the entry made in that register in consequence of the order
shall be marked with the words "Convention order".

(2) If the Registrar General is satisfied that an entry in the Register of
Births relates to a person adopted under a foreign adoption and that he has
sufficient particulars relating to that person to enable an entry in the form
set out in Schedule 1 to the Act of 1967, as modified by this subsection, to
be made in the Adopted Children Register in respect of that person, he shall

(a)make such an entry in the Adopted Children Register; and

(b)if there is a previous entry in respect of that person in that register,
mark the entry (or if there is more than one such entry the last of them) with
the word "Re-adopted" followed by the name in brackets of the country in which
the adoption was effected; and

(c)unless the entry in the Register of Births is already marked with the word
"Adopted" (whether or not followed by other words), mark the entry with that
word followed by the name in brackets of the country aforesaid;

(3) If the Registrar General is satisfied

(a)that a convention adoption order or a foreign adoption has ceased to have
effect, whether on annulment or otherwise; or

(b)that any entry or mark was erroneously made in pursuance of subsection (2)
in any register mentioned in that subsection;

(4) Without prejudice to subsection (3), where an entry in the Register of
Births is marked in pursuance of subsection (2) and the birth in question is
subsequently re-registered under section 30 of the Births and Deaths
Registration Act (Northern Ireland) 1967 (which provides for the
re-registration of the birth of a legitimated person) the entry made on
re-registration shall be marked in the like manner.
