This article discusses a reason case before the Victorian County Court on adoption by a same-sex couple. As same-sex couples are not eligible to adopt children under Victorian law, one of the partners applied to adopt the child in their capacity as an individual person. The article discusses legal definitions in the current law, the legal status of the non-parent, laws in other jurisdictions, the best interests of the child, eligibility to foster, and discrimination against same-sex couples - as defined by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities.
