After 14 years of lobbying, the Ramat Gan Family Court granted adoption of their foster son Yossi to Professor Uzi Even and Dr. Amit Kama:
Ynet reports: "Prof. Uzi Even and Dr. Amit Kama have been serving as foster parents to Yossi Even-Kama, 30, since 1995. 'The court finds that all of the stipulations noted in the adoption laws and pertaining to the foster child in question have been duly met,' Justice Alisa Miller noted in her ruling. 'I hereby grant the adoption decree and state that Yossi Even-Kama is now Uzi Even and Amit Kama's son.' Yossi first arrived at the Even-Kama home in 1995, after being disowned by his family for being a homosexual. Even and Kama soon petitioned the Israeli Social Services to become his foster parents, and when their request was granted they also became Israel's first-ever gay couple to be recognized as a foster family. In 2004, Even and Kama were married in Toronto, Canada."
