State opposes adoption by same-sex couples
The state informs the High Court of Justice that it is against permitting same-sex couples to adopt children in Israel.
The official position of the Social Affairs and Justice Ministries was made public ahead of a High Court hearing scheduled for later this week to discuss Israel’s adoption policies.
Currently, same-sex couples and common-law marriage families are not permitted to adopt children in Israel.
