Rejected petition Allow same-sex couples to adopt in Northern Ireland

More details

Bring Northern Ireland in line with the rest of the UK by removing the ban on same-sex couples eligibility to adopt. England and Wales have had the right since 2005 and Scotland since 2009. It is time for Northern Ireland to join the rest of the UK and allow these couples to adopt.
