Is adoption by same-sex couples allowed? A distinction to second-parent adoption in comment indicator. No distinction to single or transgender persons made. Comment regarding adoption laws, second-parent adoptions, and restrictions for LGBTQ+ persons: Australia (Federal), Canada (Regional first law, no federal decision), Croatia (Partner-Guardianship since 2014, adoption since 2021), Estonia (Second-parent adoption), Greece (Carer/Foster for partners in civil unions), Italy (Second-parent adoption), Slovenia (Second-parent adoption), Taiwan (Second-parent adoption), United States of America (Federal law).
Coding rules
The distinction between adoption and second-patent adoption: Adoption regulations for same-sex couples are still very diverse across the globe. Many countries do not allow for the joint adoption of children born from different persons for same-sex couples. Some countries allow second-parent adoption, where one partner can adopt the other partner’s biological child. These instances are coded as adoption in this indicator but are appended with a comment, to indicate the limitation of second-parent adoption as opposed to regular adoption of non-biological children of both partners.
