Intervention in motion for legal protection in order to carry out the process of consented adoption by a homosexual companion. Junio 15 of 2010


Defendant: Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar


Last year, a lesbian couple who have lived together for over four years and who declared their union before a notary in 2007, went to the ICBF to begin the adoption process so that one of them could adopt the biological child of the other. The child was conceived through artificial insemination after the couple's decision to have a child and since then has been under the care of the two women. However, although the Code for Children and Adolescents allows a person to adopt the biological child of his spouse or permanent partner, the ICBF rejected the request because of the homosexual nature of the couple. Dejusticia, in association with Colombia Diversa, addressed the Constitutional Court in order to protect the rights to equality, due process, and the right to have a family and not be separated from it of this pair of women and the child.
