Bill proposes big changes in adoption criteria

A new bill is expected to bring significant changes to the adoption process, making single parents eligible to adopt and securing contact between the adopted child and their biological family.

The Law Commissioner’s office has drafted the bill, which amends the 1995 law. In a press release, the commissioner’s office announced that the bill has been submitted for debate.

The bill is based on a series of principles, mainly to safeguard the interests and well-being of the children and allow the children to be heard.
