File talk:Same-sex Adoption Map Europe.svg
What's the key for the colors in this map? The key in enwiki's article (LGBT adoption) doesn't have the light blue. - Jredmond (talk) 03:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Legal in EU[编辑]
Doesn't EU law make it legal for every state?
- A lot of laws are still in the hands of the individual members of the EU, just like in the United States. 84.30.58.72 07:26, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Step-adoption in France[编辑]
Shouldn't France be lavender? And if not, shouldn't French Guiana be removed from the South America map? Kwamikagami (talk) 00:07, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Adoption in the Czech Republic[编辑]
Should there be perhaps additional colour, which would allow to distinguish countries, where adoption by a single gay person is legal (also when in registered partnership), only joint adoption by a gay couple is illegal? This is the status in the Czech Republic. Cimmerian praetor (talk) 08:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Croatia[编辑]
Since when is full adoption legal in Croatia? I think we need more sources for that information. --Emir234 (留言) 10:39, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- I reverted the map to the old version till we have a reliable source on this issue. That article on tportal.hr doesn't even mention same-sex couples (istospolna zajednica), but unmarried heterosexual couples (izvanbračna zajednica). Those two terms are not equal. --Emir234 (留言) 11:24, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Austria[编辑]
In January 2015, Austria allowed full adoption after a court decission of highest austrian court. So in the map the colour for Austria should be changed. --88.70.222.101 14:38, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
--88.70.222.101 14:54, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- There's a caveat, the court gave parliament until December of this year to pass the law. Until then, LGBT couples can't adopt jointly. Knowing the politics of Austria and the current government, they'll probably run the clock down on that too. Chase1493 (留言) 08:25, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Slovenia[编辑]
In March 2015, Slovenia allowed same-sex marriage and full adoption after parliament decision. So in the map the colour for Slovenia should be changed.

To Chase1493[编辑]
- The situation in Croatia is ambiguous. It's not certain the parliament legalized stepparent adoptions. Partner-guardianship is probably not the same as second-parent adoption.
- You have removed the Middle East because it is not in Europe. But you have added Greenland that is not in Europe.
- In most countries that permit adoptions by singles the legal status of LGBT adoption is unclear. No ban on LGBT adoption doesn't mean LGBT individuals are explicitly allowed to adopt. In many countries courts allow single-parent adoptions only in certain circumstances and because of anti-LGBT attitudes it's unlikely the judges have permited LGBT adoptions. Moreover, transsexualism is considered as a mental disorder. Therefore, we should limit the legend to the legal status of adoption by same-sex couples. HumRC (留言) 20:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, I can agree with you on the first and third point, well said. However, one the second I find it reasonable to add Greenland and remove the Middle East. Greenland has relevance in the European sphere because of its relationship with Denmark, as does Cyprus and its inclusion in the EU. The Middle Eastern countries have no such relationship with Europe, nor do the North African countries. The only country I would let remain is Morocco because it gives contrast to the Spanish autonomous cities located on its coast. Thoughts? Chase1493 (留言) 23:43, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok. If you want to remove the Middle East, I will not revoke the removal. But what about this map? HumRC (留言) 15:49, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

UPDATE: Portugal, same-sex adoption since 2016[编辑]
Since today, 20th November 2015, joint adoption by same-sex couples is legal in Portugal after parliament decision: ABC News - ‘Portugal Allows Same-Sex Adoption, Artificial Insemination’; Yahoo! News - ‘Portugal Allows Same-Sex Adoption, Artificial Insemination’; Pink News - Portugal just equalised its adoption laws for gay couples. Also, since 2013, adoption by a stepparent in a same-sex couple was already possible: Portuguese American Journal - ‘LGBT: Portuguese parliament approves right to adoption – Portugal’; Reuters - ‘Gay couples in Portugal win limited adoption rights’. Would someone please update the map? --Hqfngawz (留言) 20:09, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Italy[编辑]
In a decision published on 22 June 2016, the Italian Court of Cassation admitted stepchild adoption in same-sex couples.
Italy should be marked in gray, as stepchild adoptions can only be recognized by court order and under specific circumstances. Lold123 (留言) 21:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, and Switzerland[编辑]
In Slovenia step-parent adoption was repealed in a 2012 referendum: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/slovenians-reject-gay-adoption-law-in-referendum-7585060.htmlSee Edolen1's answer. HumRC (留言) 14:41, 17 December 2016 (UTC)- Croatia's partner-guardianship: "full parental responsibility and partial next-of-kins status, which is registered in the child's birth certificate; however, not parental. Parent's life partner may become the child's partner-guardian if the other parent is considered missing, dead, or has lost parental responsibility, or if the parent has passed away. The decision on partner-guardianship is made by court. This is, however, bound to limitations in certain circumstances and is more flexible than traditional adoption is. Primacy is always given to the parents (e.g. those who restored their parental responsibility) and partner-guardianship then can be cancelled in favor of the biological parent". https://rainbow-europe.org/#8627/0/0
Italy's highest court "decision does not give long-sought automatic recognition to the families of same-sex couples". http://www.bigstory.ap.org/article/0d6dfd1eec614588b66c61db3ee5b6eb/italian-high-court-makes-gay-adoption-easier-not-automaticCourt de facto legalised step-parent adoption.

- The 2012 referendum in Slovenia did not repeal step-child adoption, it rejected the new Family Code, which, if passed, would not have changed the legal status of step-child adoption for same-sex couples. The right to step-child adoption was recognized by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities in 2011 after an appeal by the female partner of a child's biological mother on the basis of the old, 1976 law, which is still in force to this day. Step-child same-sex adoption in Slovenia is legal as it is considered single parent adoption from a legal standpoint, on which there are no restrictions in terms of sexual orientation. There are restrictions on joint adoptions, which are only possible if the couple is married. A legislative proposal for same-sex marriage was rejected in a 2015 referendum, effectively prohibiting same-sex couples from joint adoption. However, step-child adoption is possible. While the 2011 adoption decision was not made public due to privacy laws, it was widely reported in the news at the time: Siol.net 24ur Mladina -- Edolen1 (留言) 11:34, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
