The upper house of parliament in Switzerland voted this week to allow same-sex couples to adopt children. The lower house must now consider the measure before it becomes law.
The group decided that “anyone should be able to adopt a child, regardless of their choice of lifestyle, so long as such adoption would be in the best interests of the child.” This is not the most friendly, inclusive or even accurate phrasing, but it seems the measure has a lot of opposition from conservatives. The measure passed 21 to 19, a very close vote.
Those seeking to adopt would have to be entered into some kind of registered partnership to be eligible, though couples wouldn’t have to be legally married. Some Swiss officials acknowledged that family dynamics are changing in the country and the world, and the “traditional” family structure is no longer applicable for a lot of people.
If support for this measure stays strong, this could be the beginning of very good news. Fingers crossed!
