Ministers approve draft of bill to enable adoption by same sex couples
(Worthy News) – Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn and Welfare Minister Itzik Shmuli on Wednesday approved the draft of a bill that will change a decades-old law permitting adoption only for heterosexual couples and allow same-sex couples to be equally eligible.
The bill calls to remove the phrase “a man and woman together” that had been in adoption laws since 1960 and which had largely kept gay couples and single parents from adopting.
It will also see the establishment of a registry of those seeking to adopt or to obtain a foster care license, and lay down equal requirements for those who want to be added to the registry. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
