Same-Sex Adoption Research shows that children do best when raised by their mother and a father but WA law allows same-sex couples to adopt a child, and for a woman in a lesbian relationship to become pregnant through IVF. Would your Party support changing the law to make the adoption of a child as well as access to IVF only available to a man and woman in a committed, exclusive relationship? Return to top of page 4.
