🇮🇹 Do you have to be married to adopt in Italy? For intercountry adoption, single people can also begin this journey.
⚖️ Through Judgment No. 33/2025, the Italian Constitutional Court opened this possibility to single people residing in Italy.
Each case is subject to a judicial assessment of the applicant’s ability to provide care, education, and a stable family environment, always prioritizing the child’s best interests. An important development in understanding the adoption landscape in Italy.
