Israel’s High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Thursday that same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children.
The verdict was reached by three presiding justices following a petition, which argued that Section 3 of the Adoption Law must be interpreted so LGBT couples would be eligible to adopt within the scope of the existing law.
With Israeli obsession with children and family, it is extremely hard for LGBT, or any other couples to adopt - they have to prove they have the means to raise up these kids - both material and psychological.
What is the alternative? Do they stay with foster families?
I’m just curious. I know nothing about adoption in the US much less Israel. I have to think there’d be some kind of principle of least harm and some evidence-based policies.
You don’t even have to allow Jewish couples to adopt in the U.S. if you’re a state-sponsored Christian adoption agency.
