'Parliament evaluates gay couples' availability to adopt foreign minors'

"It will be up to the legislator to carry out the assessment of the best interests of the minor", in the context of a profoundly changed legal system and in compliance with constitutional rules, to work "so that the cornerstone of the adoptive statute remains the right of the minor to have a family, suitable to ensure care, love, stability and protection".

This is how the Council expressed itself in a ruling on the international adoption of minors residing abroad by civilly united same-sex couples. The Court stated that "the legislator will be able to deal with the availability of civilly united homoemotional couples to undergo the concrete suitability test to adopt an abandoned child, in a spirit of solidarity and in accordance with Article 2 of the Constitution".
