It is said that the adoption system in Japan has been for family or parents, not for child. Today the movement for the reformation of civil law takes place in order to establish the adoption system for child welfare. The attempt is making progress in the Diet, but I think the reform plan has some problems. For the purpose of making these problems clear we try to study the adoption law in England, which is said to have a regular system for child welfare, and compare it with the contents of the Japanese reform bill. The following is the characteristics of the English adoption system which were pointed from official agencies functional angele. 1) Only an adoption agency has a right to make arrangements for an adoption. The private placement is illegal from 15th February 1982. 2) All cases for adoption applications must be supervised by an adoption agency for the probationary period. 3) The court must appoint a guardian ad litem who represents the child at the hearing and has a general duty to safeguard the interests of the child before the court by rules of court. As compared with these English system, the reform bill of civil law is not adequate to child welfare, I think. Because the bill does not admit official agencies to have enough competence and functions to the arrangement and supervision for adoption application cases. Now, in order to develop the new frontier of child welfare the need for reforming the child welfare law itself is keenly felt in our country.
