Anna-Marie de Vos is a South African lawyer and former Judge of the High Court South Africa, Transvaal Provincial Division. She now serves as senior counsel in private practice, as a member of the George Bar Association. As a lesbian with her partner, they both took on the law in South Africa that prevented same sex couples from being able to adopt. They later won the case and gay adoption was legalised in South Africa in 2002, making South Africa the first and the only current country in Africa where joint adoption is legal.^[1][2]
