입양특례법 재개정론에 대한 비판적 고찰 = The Dilemma of so-called Baby Box : Safe Haven for Abandoned Babies` Lives or unintended Substitute for Legal Adoption

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In response to tragedies of unsafe infant abandonments that place children at risk of death, many countries have enacted laws allowing legal, anonymous abandonment of newborns at designated sites. In most cases legislators have acted so quickly that they typically have not studied the causes of abandonment before enacting these laws. Moreover, since few states are collecting any data to evaluate the efficacy of anonymous abandonment - or trying to determine if other alternatives might be effective - it is hard to say that there is sufficient evidence demonstrating that these laws solve the problem at which they are aimed. Moreover, anonymity ultimately undermines the legal meaning of the parentage and the right to identity of the children, while creating a host of unintended, negative consequences. Any policy aimed at solving the problem of unsafe abandonments should therefore facilitate such elements as educating students, teachers, parents, and clergy about how to identify concealed pregnancies, and how to help affected women; providing confidential counseling to at-risk pregnant women about prenatal care and safe alternatives for their babies, such as care by other biological family members or adoption.
