Belgium considers gay adoption rights
After legalizing gay marriages earlier this year, Belgium is moving closer to granting same-sex couples the right to adopt children. Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt's own Dutch-speaking Liberal Party said it will table a bill to parliament to do away with the legal uncertainty surrounding children in such unions. "Research and the practical experience of countries which already allow adoption by same-sex and bisexual couples, show that children raised by same-sex parents are not affected in a negative way," the VLD party said in a statement on its website.
