Especially grew the number of domestic adoptions, 293, for there were 117 more of them than in the year before. The number of domestic adoptions grew mainly because internal adoptions within families of registered same-sex partnerships (122) increased clearly. The change was expected, because applying for internal adoption within the family only became possible for registered same-sex partnerships in the latter half of 2009. In 2009, 15 internal adoptions within the family were made among registered same-sex partnerships.
