I move amendment No. 4:

In page 7, to delete lines 31 to 33 and substitute the following:“(a) in the case of a child who is, or is to be, adopted—
(i) where the child is, or is to be, adopted jointly by a married couple of the same sex, the spouse chosen by that couple to be the relevant parent for the purposes of this Act, or

(ii) in any other case, the spouse, civil partner or cohabitant, as the case may be, of the adopting mother or sole male adopter of the child,
or”.
