Germany

I do know of some sources that state Germany allows full joint adoption for SSCs. France still does not provide SSCs with full joint adoption. SSCs means same sex couples.

Norway

From 1 January 2009, SSCs in Norway will be provided with fully and legally joint adoption, IVF, surrogacy and marriage.

England

When did England provide SSCs full joint access to adoption?

Denmark

What is the situation in Denmark - regarding adoption policys, surrogacy and IVF for SSCs?

England Update

In England single women and lesbians can have full access to surrogacy and IVF - and even have the female "civil partner" child listed on the birth certificate as "parent".

Update in Denmark

Full joint adoption is now legal in Denmark, so Denmark should be dark pink now. See two sources [1] [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.75.133 (talk) 05:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finland, Germany and France

What is the latest situation in Finland regarding adoption for LGBT people? Also what is the latest situation in Germany and France regarding adoption for LGBT people? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.75.133 (talk) 06:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Step-child adoption is now legal in Finland. See http://www.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/200905150131118_uu.shtml (unfortunately in Finnish). --Jetman (talk) 15:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland

They all need to be red — they ban same-sex adoption. See LGBT rights in Europe#Northern Europe. VoodooIsland (talk) 17:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's necessary to colour them red, since grey colouring already suggests that same-sex adoption is not legal. A ban on same-sex adoption and not allowing same-sex adoption are practically the same thing. What the map does not reflect is where single gay people can adopt and where they cannot. In some countries, such as Latvia, Lithuania and Italy (but not Poland), only married couples can adopt. This excludes all single and unmarried people, be they gay or straight, from adopting. This situation is different to most countries in Europe, where, while same-sex couples cannot jointly adopt, single people (of any sexual orientation) are permitted to adopt.
