Italy defends traditional family: Same-sex couples barred from joint adoption

The article discusses Italy's legal stance on same-sex parenting and family structure under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's leadership. It highlights the country's traditional view of the family, emphasizing heterosexual marriage as the ideal environment for child-rearing. The law, based on Act No. 184 from 1983, restricts joint adoption rights to married heterosexual couples. While civil unions grant some rights to same-sex couples, they do not include joint adoption. In March 2025, the Constitutional Court allowed single individuals (regardless of orientation) to adopt children from abroad, but this does not change the broader stance against same-sex couples as a whole. The article also mentions legislative moves to criminalize surrogacy, reflecting conservative values prioritizing societal responsibility over individual rights.

It portrays the legal restrictions on same-sex adoption as necessary to preserve 'natural' family dynamics and highlights government actions like criminalizing surrog
