71H: Joint adoptions

You could also call this:

“This rule about adopting children together was removed from the law”

This part of the law used to be about joint adoptions. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took it out on 1 April 2016. This means that this section no longer applies and you can’t use it anymore.
