According to a local newspaper, the Juvenile Court of Trento in northern Italy has allowed the adoption of a child by the non-biological parent of a same-sex couple recognised in Canada but not in Italy.

The youngster, who is nearly four years old, was born via surrogacy, which is banned in Italy. The adoption petition was submitted in March in light of the biological father’s critical health issues, ansa.it reports.
