- Status is not correct
- Status is not correct "Adoption by same-sex parents is NOT legal in France. The confusion seems to stem from the fact that the government considered legalising it as part of the law that legalised same-sex marriage, but this clause was removed from that law before the law was passed."
- Status is not correct "Only allowed to adopt as a single person or as a couple if legally married."
