Reports (2)
- Newer law has been passed "how can married lgbt couples adopt if lgbt marriage is illegal??????"
- Status is not correct "This needs to add the detail that in South Korea, only married couples (not single parents) can adopt children, but South Korea does not recognize gay marriage, thus gay couples cannot really adopt children. Source: http://www.nqapia.org/wpp/lgbtq-rights-in-south-korea/"
