Australia: Rainbow families can now jointly adopt in Victoria
Star Observer – September 01, 2016
Couples can now jointly adopt in Victoria regardless of their sex or gender identity, though there is still no legal certainty for children born through overseas surrogacy. The Adoption Amendment (Adoption by Same-Sex Couples) Act 2015 came into effect today in the state, after the bill was passed late last year.
