Abstract

In New Zealand there are many ways to become a parent, including two-parent families of heterosexual and homosexual couples, single parents, adoptive parents, kin carers, whāngai arrangements, long-term fostering, guardianship and assisted reproductive technologies. In this paper we discuss the different pathways to parenthood, how they have come about, and New Zealand's laws, policies and practices that make them possible but also challenging. Two areas of law of particular interest are the implications of the Adoption Act 1955, which continues to be discriminatory, although some of its provisions have been reinterpreted in the courts, and the Care of Children Act 2004, which introduced ‘modern’ parenting arrangements but allowed conflicts to remain with previous child care Acts. The new Home for Life policy introduced by the Ministry of Social Development will also be critically discussed, in light of its weaknesses. We conclude with implications of the varied pathways and identified gaps in our current knowledge that call for further research.

新西兰养育子女的途径:法律、政策和实践中的问题
在新西兰,成为父母的方式有很多,包括异性恋和同性恋夫妇的双亲家庭、单亲父母、养父母、亲属照顾者、whāngai安排、长期寄养、监护和辅助生殖技术。在本文中,我们讨论了成为父母的不同途径,它们是如何产生的,以及新西兰的法律、政策和实践,使它们成为可能,但也具有挑战性。两个特别令人感兴趣的法律领域是1955年《收养法》的影响,该法仍然具有歧视性,尽管该法的一些条款已在法院重新解释,以及2004年《照顾儿童法》,该法引入了“现代”育儿安排,但允许与以前的儿童保育法存在冲突。鉴于社会发展部提出的新的生命之家政策的弱点,也将对其进行严格讨论。我们总结了不同途径的含义,并确定了我们目前知识中需要进一步研究的空白。
