New York Domestic Relations Law Section 110, which outlines who can adopt, precludes married petitioners from adopting without their spouse joining in the adoption petition, even when all parties involved support the adoption, and it is in the child's best interests. Some judges have prioritized the child's best interests and granted adoptions in such cases, while others have rigidly construed the statute and denied them. Amending the statute so that anyone can adopt, regardless of marital status, if it is in the child's best interests would ensure the child's best interests are the judicial system's primary consideration in approving adoptions.

是否结婚并不重要：任何人，无论婚姻状况如何，如果符合孩子的最大利益，都应该被允许在纽约收养孩子

纽约家庭关系法第 110 条概述了谁可以收养，禁止已婚申请人在其配偶未加入收养申请的情况下收养孩子，即使所有相关方都支持收养，并且这符合孩子的最大利益。一些法官优先考虑儿童的最大利益，并在此类案件中批准收养，而另一些法官则严格解释法规并拒绝收养。修改法规，使任何人都可以收养儿童，无论婚姻状况如何，只要符合儿童的最大利益，将确保儿童的最大利益成为司法系统批准收养的首要考虑因素。
