Taiwan grants full adoption rights to same-sex couples.

Taiwan's legislature passed an amendment allowing same-sex couples to adopt children they are not biologically related to, widening joint adoption. Taiwan legalized gay marriage in 2019, but until now, those married couples could only adopt children related to one of the partners. The Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights has been calling for this change, saying the island "fails to guarantee the full rights of same-sex couples in matters of adoption."

Taiwan legalizes adoption for same-sex couples.

Taiwan's legislature has passed a bill granting same-sex couples the right to jointly adopt a child neither of them are related to, clearing one of the final hurdles in achieving full marriage equality. Taiwan became the first jurisdiction in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019 but stopped short of granting fully equal rights of adoption to same-sex couples. The legal change has come amid growing awareness in Taiwan about what it still takes to achieve full marriage equality, even though same-sex marriage had been legalized four years ago.
