Adoption row in France as official says gay people should be given 'the children no one wants'
Pascale Lemare (see tweet below), head of the adoption service in the Seine-Maritime region of Normandy, northern France, said lgbtq+ couples were likely to be left with adoptive children who were ill or otherwise "atypical", prompting outrage from gay rights groups.
"Children that no one wants -- there are people who don't want to adopt children who are too damaged, too psychologically damaged, too big, or handicapped," Lemare said.
She had been asked in an interview with France Bleu local radio if it was more "complicated" for a gay couple to adopt a healthy baby.
"There are parents who correspond better to the required criteria," she replied.
"Not a gay couple, then?" asked the interviewer.
"Well, no," Lemare said, adding that same-sex couples were "a little atypical, you might say, with regard to social norms and biological norms".
She went on: "If their strategy includes children with atypical profiles... if homosexual couples have open expectations, they can indeed adopt a child."
France legalised queer marriage and same-sex adoption in 2013 af
Depuis la loi de 2013 ouvrant le mariage et l'adoption aux couples de même sexe, plusieurs centaines de familles homoparentales ont tenté l'aventure de l'adoption. Toutes sont passés par l'évaluation et l'obtention du fameux agrément, délivré par le service spécialisé de leur département. Selon nos sources (adhérent.e.s, partenaires, départements, etc.) et nos observations régulières, plus de 300 (couples et célibataires homosexuels) ont finalement acceuilli un ou des enfant·s né·s à l'étranger ou une pupille de l'État (enfant né France). C'est peu au rergard du nombre d'enfants à adopter chaque année mais c'est un constat de la possibilité de ce projet.
L'adoption d'un enfant est donc feasible aujourd'hui en France et à l'étranger pour des couples de même sexe (et des célibataires LGBT+). La prise en compte des familles homoparentales et monoparentales par les profesionnel·le·s s'améliore, grâce notamment au travail de l'APGL au niveau national et dans les départements. Toutefois, le contexte de l'adoption tant en France qu'à l'étranger tend à décourager les candidats. Les chiffres globaux présentés ci-dessous l'explique en partie.

Conditions for adoption in France
Adoption is, first and foremost, a gesture of love by which a minor can be given to a family and a family to a child.
It creates a truthful parent-child relationship between the adopter and the adoptee. However, this relationship will only exist if the adopter expressly asks for it during an adoption procedure and if it is made official by an order from the regional court [tribunal de grande instance]. It is also possible to resort to an adoption procedure between members of the alike family. It is then a matter of a easy adoption which does not break the original filiation.
In France, who may adopt?
Jointly: Spouses married for more than two years, not separated from body, whether of the matching sex or of different sex. They must both be at least 28 years old, unless they have been married for more than two years. However, partners in a civil partnership and unmarried couples may not adopt jointly (only one of the partners or one of the members of the couple can be an adoptive parent).
Individuals: any person (whether a male or a woman) aged at least 28. However, if the person is married, they must

French same-sex couples allowed to adopt children conceived via IVF
France's top civil court, the Court of Cassation, has ruled that children conceived via assisted reproduction overseas can be adopted by same-sex parents.
Following a law change in 2013, homosexual couples in France are allowed to adopt but remain barred from using IVF. A limited French courts had thus refused adoption rights to couples who had gone overseas for fertility treatment in order to conceive, saying that such couples were 'defrauding the law' by their actions.
In their decision, senior judges rejected that argument, saying that 'although there may be added conditions, in France this medical practice [IVF] is allowed. Therefore, the fact that some women went abroad for it does not damage any principle of French law'.
Caroline Mécary, the lawyer for a couple whose adoption process had been position on hold subject to this decision, told the Libération newspaper: 'This is an excellent decision. But it is really just a reminder that how a child is conceived is irrelevant in adoption, as long as that the adoption process itself is undertaken in accordance with the law'.
Although the ruling is advisory and not
