The Ombudsman against Discrimination on grounds of Sexual Orientation has ceased to exist. On 1 January 2009 the Ombudsman was merged with the other Ombudsmen against discrimination into a new body: the Swedish Equality Ombudsman. The previously existing acts against discrimination were also replaced with a new Discrimination Act. Some of the material on this website may therefore be out of date. For more information, see: www.do.se
Legal Parenthood – Family Law – Adoption – Assisted Procreation The Court of Appeal reversed the district court’s ruling to deny an application for second parent adoption from the female registered partner of a woman giving birth to a child after assisted procreation carried out in Finland using sperm from an anonymous donor in Denmark. The Court allowed the adoption saying that it would be in the best interest of the child to the have the security of two legal parents. The Court also noted that no special concerns arise with respect to the fact that this case involved a same-sex couple rather than a heterosexual one. The ruling is final.
