Two mothers do just as well children are typically raised by two parents. Singlesex families are a controversial issue in europe. The number of socalled rainbow families are on the rise, but their legal status varies from country to country. In germany, gay and lesbian couples cannot jointly adopt a child or a baby.

For these two little boys, having two mothers is nothing unusual. Their parents are a lesbian couple. Beatrice, seen here, adopted the boys as a single woman. Her partner had no legal say in it, and by french law, singles may adopt, but samesex couples may not. An initiative is under way to change that. For these two women, that would be an important step in the right direction. Hiding their relationship from the authorities and not being able to adopt as a couple was very stressful for them
