Law of 24 October 2008 amending Book 1 of the Civil Code relating to the reduction of adoption procedure and amendment of the Law to include foreign children for adoption in relation to adoption by spouses of equal sex together

We Beatrix, at the grace of God, Queen of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau, etc. etc. etc.

All of them, who will see or hear these, saluut! do know:

In this regard, we have taken into consideration that it is desirable to Book 1 of the Civil Code to amend the procedure in case of adoption by one adopter or by the partner of an earlier one, and the other Law to include foreign children for adoption to amend it in order to permit the same-sex spouses to take up a foreign child for adoption;

In this way, we, the Council of State, and with the mean consultations of the States-General, have been well-regarded and understood to be right and to be understood by the following:
