History

Historical Context

Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage in 2004, paving the way for same-sex couples to adopt children. By 2019, over 22,000 children had been adopted by such families. Following significant legal changes, including the 2017 Supreme Court ruling affirming adoption rights for same-sex couples, societal acceptance has grown, as evidenced by contemporary adoptions like those of Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown.
