The European executive is pushing for the recognition of parenthood in one country to result in bloc-wide recognition of familial ties, but the initiative could create a rift across the bloc due to the inclusion of rainbow families.

European justice ministers met on Friday (February 4) to exchange views on an EU proposal to recognise parental status across borders. According to the initiative, parentage links established in one EU country would be acknowledged in all member states.

Parenthood and recognition rules currently fall under the competence of member states and vary significantly across the 27.

Wen’s husband prepared local dishes for their guests, while Wen served food to her son and his adoptive father, a traditional gesture of hospitality in Chinese culture.

The Danish state approved adoptions with forged papers and where there was no consent from the biological parents, says the lawyer.

For the first time in Danish history, adoptees from abroad to Denmark are demanding compensation from the Danish state for violations of their human rights.

The eight adoptees who are now demanding compensation are all adopted from South Korea and believe that the Danish authorities have not lived up to their responsibility to protect their rights.

This is what Lisa Dalgas Christensen, a lawyer at Pramming Advokater, who represents the adopted, says:
