Kyrgyzstan does not give children for adoption to same-sex families abroad. The head of the department for the protection of the family and children of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, Janyl Dzhumabaeva, told today at a press conference.
According to her, both healthy and children with disabilities can be placed for adoption.
«Children obtain the citizenship of the country of their adoptive parents, but at the same time, they retain the citizenship of Kyrgyzstan till 18 years. Citizens of the United States, Finland, and Sweden have adopted children in the past three years," she noted.
