  • Newer law has been passed "https://database.ilga.org/faroe-islands-denmark-lgbti "In 2017, the Danish Parliament approved Act No. 428 (2017) which ratifies an amendment to the Marriage Act (2017) to allow same-sex married couples to adopt." "The Faroe Islands passed the Act No. 428 (2017) that allowed for second parent adoption. Despite the changes in the marriage law, certain issues of co-parenting for same-sex couples remained unsolved at that time. In December 2021, two bills submitted by the opposition parties were passed in the Parliament of the Faroe Islands thus granting equal parental rights for same-sex couples.""
