Sweden : First same-sex overseas adoption takes place
A couple in Sweden have become parents after the country's first same-sex international adoption.
Sweden changed its legislation to allow for same-sex adoption 14 years ago, but international adoptions have long been as good as impossible because of many other countries’ more restrictive rules.
But one couple have now adopted a child in Colombia, which recently changed its own rules. The two fathers were approved a year ago, and the whole process has now been carried out, reports SVT.
Congratulation to the happy parents.
