Abstrakt: This qualitative study explores the perceptions of adoption social workers in Greece regarding same-sex couples' right to adopt. All 15 participants stressed that they always take the child's best interest into consideration when assessing prospective parents; however, very different interpretations were evident regarding what this best-interest principle entails if a same-sex couple were to be the prospective adoptive parents. Four participants expressed their full support for same-sex adoption, four were firmly against it, while the rest focused on expressing their reservations. Implications for social work practice and social work education are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
