LA ADOPCIÓN POR MATRIMONIOS HOMOSEXUALES Y LA RESOLUCIÓN DE LA DGRN DE 18 DE FEBRERO DE 2009.

Abstract

 Gay marriage is now incorporated to Spanish legislation; aside from its controversy, it brings the need to determine the filiations of their offspring. This point is not clear enough in our law and this brings different ground points of discussion. In this article we review the gay adoption issue: its necessity and legality, both in internal Spanish law and in international law. This last point is specially problematic from a legal point of view given the Decision that we mention in the title and the Instrucción de 5 de octubre de 2010. We will also try to give an overview of the legal situation of gay adoptions.
