Summary: In Germany, as elsewhere, couples and individuals suffering from unwanted childlessness have two principal means to overcome it. One, adoption, has existed and been quite heavily regulated in Germany for centuries. The other, assisted reproduction, has only recently come into its own with advances in medical technology and has not yet been comprehensively dealt with by the German legislature. This monograph provides a survey of adoption and assisted reproduction as an alternative (non-coital) ways of establishing parent-child relationships in Germany.
