LGBT adoption - Slovenia
Hi, can you give me any reason why you have deleted Slovenia from the LGBT adoption page and map? There was a link to a decent online publication (see p. 198/199 there), and on the talk page I had also referred to a paper source (German legal journal). So, there should be a good explanation for deletion of Slovenia. Sigur (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Yep. Exactly: My source said that the legislation and case law prior to the failed Family Code already allows gay stepchild adoption: "The decision is considered to be a landmark case, showing that the existing legislation adopted 35 years ago already allows for second-parent adoption, and that this procedure will remain accessible for same-sex partners even if the Family Code, which contains specific provisions allowing second-parent adoption, does not enter into force." (page 199, 2nd para., last sentence ). Your source - quite correctly - says that the draft Family Code was voted down. My source says that even in that case gay stepchild adoption remains possible. Thus the conclusion remains that Slovenia needs to be in the list.

 * OK, I carefully checked your source and you are right. I made changes on these pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_adoption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_adoption_in_Europe  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Europe  and on the map. Thank you very much for the information.
