Switzerland considering adoption by gays


Adoption by gays may be coming to Switzerland soon.

The upper house of the Swiss parliament on Thursday approved legalizing adoptions by gay couples.

The Council of States voted 21-19 on the legislation, which would allow gay couples in registered partnerships to adopt. Politicians supporting the new law say it reflects the reality of Swiss families in 2012.

The lower house must now consider the legislation.
