Germany: Court ruling could mean equal adoption rights for “gay” couples

The Local: “While homosexual couples are allowed to adopt their partner’s own biological children thanks to a Constitutional Court ruling in the summer of 2009, the same rule does not apply to non-biological adopted children. But the Hamburg upper regional court (OLG) called this ‘unequal treatment of marriage and civil unions in current adoption law’ that is neither constitutional nor in the child’s best interest, broadcaster NDR reported.”
