These Regulations make provision relating to statutory shared parental pay in respect of adoptions from overseas. An adoption from overseas is defined in section 171ZZ4(1) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) (as modified) as an adoption of a child who enters Great Britain from outside the United Kingdom in connection with or for the purposes of adoption which does not involve the placement of the child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom.
