"Taiwan's legislature passed an amendment Tuesday that allows same-sex couples
to adopt children they are not biologically related to — a move cheered on by
LGBTQ advocates.
Taiwan legalized gay marriage in 2019, becoming the only place in Asia that
allows it.
However, those married couples could only adopt children related to one of the
partners. Lawmakers with the island's Democratic Progressive Party said this
was a dangerous setup — especially if one parent died and the other could not
get legal rights to the children. They said it could even disincentivize
same-sex couples from marrying if one person already had children.
On Tuesday, Taiwan's Legislative Yuan amended the same-sex marriage law to
widen joint adoption."
