Stepchild adoption in Italy
Where do you get the affirmation from that stepchild adoption is possible in Italy "only under very limited circumstances"? Can you cite your sources? The particular form of adoption is indeed called "adozione in casi particolari", but the case law is quite clear: In the typical case of a lesbian couple having a child by articificial insemination, you’re eligible under that provision. It still has to be ordered by a court and has to be in the best interest of the child – but that’s the case for any adoption, so nothing special. I've checked it in the Italian Wikipedia article, and you can follow it through from there to the judgment of the Court of Cassation (as mentioned in La Repubblica, but you can also read the original judgment). Now, I’ve heard that some lower courts still make trouble – which justifies the wording "on a case-by-case basis", but quite some people have obtained a stepchild adoption, just being in the situation of raising, as a couple, a child born following articificial insemination. So, I don’t see any good reason to say that stepchild adoption is only possible under very limited circumstances. Sigur (talk) 22:09, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
