The first was whether the English courts would recognise the adoption orders as giving the adopted children the status of children. If the answer was no." the case would end there. If the answer was "yes," the second question was whether the English courts would confer on the adopted children the rights and benefits given to "children" by the Settlement For, while recognising their status, English law might not give them all the self-same rights and benefits as the natural-born child. In his (Lord Denning1) opinion, the English courts would only recognise an adoption of another country if the adopting parents, were domiciled there ana the child was ordinarily resident there.
