    ArmInfo. According to the new edition of the Council of Europe
    Convention on the Adoption of Children, which will replace the former
    version of 1967, homosexuals will be included in the list of persons
    who may potentially be provided the right to become adoptive parents,
    lgbtnews.ru reports.

    On 27 November 2008, during the passing of chairmanship in the
    Council of Europe Committee of Ministers from Sweden to Spain, two
    agreements were subject to ratification. One of them was the new
    European Convention on the Adoption of Children that has already been
    ratified by Armenia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and the United
    Kingdom. The New Convention includes sole persons or two heterosexual
    persons married formally or informally (if the institute of informal
    marriage is available in the given signatory country) in the list of
    potential adoptive parents. In addition, the Convention allows the
    countries to determine themselves whether to provide the right to
    adoption of children to heterosexual and homosexual couples married
    formally or informally.
