(Scotland, UK) - Legislation giving unmarried and same-sex partners the legal right to adopt has been approved at Holyrood. MSPs overwhelmingly rejected an amendment to the new adoption bill by SNP MSP Roseanna Cunningham to prevent gay couples adopting together. The law, which aims to reverse the decline in numbers offering to adopt, was opposed by the Catholic Church. The Adoption and Children (Scotland) Bill was approved by 101 votes to six, with six abstentions.
