According to an amendment formulated by democrat liberal senator Iulian Urban, to article 479, "two people of the same sex cannot adopt a child together".
Sub-committee president Daniel Buda said at the end of the meeting that the topic is "extremely sensitive" given the matter in question refers to homosexual relations and the MPs practically wanted to ban adoption in such a situation.
The subcommittee debating the Civil Code concluded works for Wednesday and will reconvene Thursday at 0730 GMT.
