A private law firm named
Wilsons, analysed the figures & noted that the number of gay couples applying for adoption increased from 510 in 2013-2014 to 586 last year. Sarah Wood-Heath, an associate lawyer at Wilsons, said:
“The door has really opened now for all kinds of individuals to start their own family.

“Same-sex adoptions are at a record high, and it may be that the legalisation of gay marriage in 2013 has been a catalyst for more same sex couples to adopt.”
