Single people adopting children
No single people (straight or gay) is banned in Australia from adopting children (all of Australia should be green). NSW, northern territory and Victoria is looking and reviewing the laws that ban same-sex couples from adopting children. Queensland will ban same-sex couples from adopting children under the Adoption Bill 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.207.230 (talk • contribs) 12:14, 21 February 2009

WA and ACT
Same-sex couples have been legally allowed to adopt children in the ACt and WA for a while now. Tasmania still has a few restrictions, but can still legally only adopt children if - (a) in a registered partnership and; (b) one of the child being adopted is biolgically theirs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.207.230 (talk • contribs) 12:17, 21 February 2009
