Proposition de loi modifiant l'ancien Code civil afin de permettre l'adoption par un parent supplémentaire.

This is a Belgian bill, introduced in the Chamber of Representatives, that would amend the former Civil Code to allow a child to be adopted by an additional parent. Under the current rules, adoption is generally limited in ways that can prevent a child from having a second legal parent beyond the existing ones, for example where a child already has two legal parents. The bill would change the legal framework governing family relationships and adoption under civil law. The change would most directly affect children and families where an additional parent seeks legal recognition, including blended families, children in co-parenting arrangements, and same-sex or other non-traditional family structures. Judges, notaries and civil registry officials would apply the revised rules. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill.
