the opinion of the Court is just and expedient.

duties, obligations and liabilities of the parent or parents,

child, including all rights to appoint a guardian or to consent
or give notice of dissent of marriage shall be extinguished,
and all such rights, duties, obligations and liabilities shall
vest in and be exercisable by and enforceable against the
adopter as though the adopted child was a child born to the
adopter in lawful wedlock, and in respect of the same matters
and in respect of the liability of a child to maintain its
parents the adopted child shall stand to the adopter
exclusively in the position of a child born to the adopter in
lawful wedlock: Provided that, in any case where two
spouses are the adopters, such spouses shall in respect of the
matters aforesaid and for the purpose of the jurisdiction
of any court to make orders as to the custody and main-
tenance of and right of access to children stand to each
other and to the adopted child in the same relation as they
would have stood if they had been the lawful father and
mother of the adopted child, and the adopted child shall
stand to them respectively in the same relation as a child
would have stood to a lawful father and mother respectively.
