The Adoption Act 2000 (75/2000) was 'an Act with respect to the adoption of children and access of information relating to an adoption; to repeal the Adoption of Children Act 1965 and the Adoption Information Act 1990; to amend the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1995 with respect to registration of adoptions and adopted persons' birth records'. It was an overhaul of legislation that incorporated many of the changes in social and community attitudes towards marriage and parenthood in the period since the passage of Adoption Act 1965. It governed both adoptions and adoption information. In 2014 it was current.
