Adoption for Gay and Lesbian Couples (Legal Guide)

In Florida, adoption for gay and lesbiand couples is a legal proceeding that grants full parental rights to the non-biological spouse in a same-sex relationship. Same-sex adoption is fully legal in the state of Florida.
While gay adoption under Florida law used to be outlawed by Florida statutes, in 2010 the Florida Court of Appeals ruled that the law banning gay and lesbian people from adopting was unconstitutional. Then in January 2015, same-sex marriage was legalized as a result of the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision. The legalization of marriage then allowed same-sex couples to complete stepparent adoptions.
