It all depends on who you ask: Dutch parentage law in four Acts

Abstract

2007 and 2008 were eventful years for Dutch family law. The publication of two reports by the Kalsbeek Commission, with regards lesbian parentage and intercountry adoption, have paved the way for an ongoing debate on these topics. This contribution will focus on the debate surrounding both of these reports. The main question posed here is whether the Kalsbeek Commission has really been as objective as it could have been in advising the Government with regards to these areas.
