Federal Justice Minister Marco Buschmann emphasized, "The law has lagged stubbornly behind social reality," highlighting the need for reform to better align with modern family structures.
Carmen Thiele, from the Association of Foster and Adoptive Families (PFAD), stated, "The reality of families today shows that marriage does not promise permanence, as was previously assumed in adoption law," stressing the need for legal reforms.
Under the proposed reforms, both adults in an unmarried partnership will be allowed to adopt together, reflecting the evolving definitions of family and parenthood in Germany.
The announcement of the draft reform bill aims to liberalize adoption by allowing single parents in marriages to adopt without requiring both partners to be legal parents.
