If, as a single, gay, I adopt a child abroad, can I register the adoption at the Ministry of Interior in Israel afterwards?

If single, gay adoption is legal in the country where you adopt the child,and the actual adoption was carried out according to law, then in principle, then you should be able to register the adoption at the Ministry of Interior in Israel.If you have difficulty, you can bring legal action against the refusal. The legal barriers under Israeli law preventing adoption on the grounds of sexual orientation alone have now been lifted.
