Arguments Against Gay Adoption

The author’s purpose is to challenge LGBT adoption rights. There are specific reasons that provide the idea that children need both a female and male role model or else the child is more likely to suffer as the child grows. The rational appeals to pathos (emotion). I like this article less because it is very biased due to the author’s religious feelings, but it is interesting because it is the only article thus far to only focus on the cons of LGBT adoption rights.

Unfortunately, there is a number of legal hurdles gay and lesbian couples face when trying to adopt therefore, the system has to be circumvented. Also same sex couples encounter individuals who subconsciously and consciously discriminate through a variety of behaviors including evident harassment or social exclusion (Brown, Smalling, Groza, & Ryan, 2009). It would seem as if the drive to prevent same sex couples from the benefit of joint adoption starts with the discrimination of these couples rather than the welfare of the child (Johnson, n.d). In fact, these discriminations include accusations of psychological disorders and a higher occurrence of domestic violence.

A child enters foster care every two minutes. Meaning by the end of this speech, at least three children will have entered. In 2012 there were about 397 thousand children in foster care. In 2014 there was almost 416 thousand. And the number keeps rising. In 2016 the number is supposed to rise 4%. While it may not seem much a 4 percent rise will make it almost 432 thousand. Almost twenty thousand more children will be in foster care. Which is why Homosexual couples should be allowed to adopt. With this many children in foster there is a need for parents that only straight parents cannot fill.

Recently the American President was quoted in Chicago showing his support for gay couples adopting. "...what makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it 's the courage to raise one." This shows how times have changed and the support for gay rights is growing. Sadly many people feel that same sex marriage should be illegal because they feel that homosexual couples are unable to make the same contributions to society that heterosexual marriages are able to make. Despite this homosexual marriages do not affect society in a negative way and should be legal and recognized just as heterosexual marriages are. Physically homosexuals cannot procreate, but that does not mean that they can 't contribute to society through raising children well. There are millions of children who want to be in a home with a family who love them. Foster children are often sent from foster home to foster home, which leads to a very unsteady childhood. Currently one quarter of children living with same-sex couples in the United States have been adopted, according to a research done by the Georgia State University College of Law. Some say that homosexuals will not be able to provide a stable house for children, but a home with two caring parents is far more stable than a foster home where a child rarely receives attention. Due to the fact that most nations are wanting to be one of equality, if homosexuals are not allowed

Adoption is about finding families for children, it is not about finding children for families (Joyce, 2015). Homosexual people are same as regular people, they wish to have regular families just like anyone. However, why homosexual couples are not allowed to adopted children since they are same as anyone else? In 1851, the first adoption law passed at Massachusetts, North American (Herman, 2012). The adoption of the Massachusetts Children Act 1851 is an important point to give authorizations to judges in validating parents who want to adopt (Herman, 2012). According to the (SOS Children's Village, 2015), there are about 120,000 children being abandon in America per year. Depending on (Regnerus, 2012) past research paper, stated that homosexual

“Last year, 29,471 children turned 18 and left the foster care system without an adoptive family” (“Adoption” 1). Unfortunately for those young adults, knowing the comfort of a stable family was not part of their childhood. Though there is a high demand for children to be adopted, the reality is many are not being adopted. Furthermore, even though there are children that need a good home, state governments are purposely making laws that prohibit certain groups of people from adopting children. States like Florida and Mississippi are both culprits. Two groups that are especially being targeted by unfair laws are gays and lesbians. These unfair laws are clear discrimination, and they should be put to an end

Gay marriage has in recent times seen a growing number of supporters. With this comes parenting and the urge to start a family but, as everyone knows a gay couple cannot get a biological child from both of the parents. This complication leads to many couples turning to adoption as a solution. Gays like everyone else are just as capable of taking care of a child if not more.

(2001). Gay and Lesbian couples should be allowed to adopt a child due to their nurturing and

Adoption has been around for many years, but only recently has the question of gay adoption risen. There are many orphans in the world, but not enough families or parents to take them in. There aren’t that many families who can and will adopt children, whether it’s because they can’t support them, they have children of their own, or they just don’t want children. The end result is still an overabundance of orphaned children in need of a loving family. There is a solution to this problem. Gay adoption. There is a rising amount of open homosexual couples everywhere and most of them would love to have kids, but it’s still illegal for homosexual couples to adopt children in some areas of the U.S., let alone the world. All across our country, and in other countries, there are children awaiting adoption and eager parents who would like to welcome those children into their homes, but are banned from doing so. These parents have done nothing wrong and possess the same skills and resources as other potential parents, and yet they are not allowed to give a child everything he or she needs, love, protection, and security. So why are these potential parents banned from adopting? Discrimination and prejudices are the main cause of this unconstitutional act. Adoption to gay couples should be legalized everywhere because anyone who is able to meet the requirements of being a loving parent deserves to become a parent, despite their sexual preferences and many kids would be grateful to have two loving parents.

Homosexual people have faced many trials and tribulations in pursuit of living a normal and happy life. There are many controversial events and topics that are barriers blocking complete happiness. Although those barriers are in place, the people in the LGBT subculture seem to making the best of every situation. Fighting for their rights and changing laws to protect them are paving the way for a brighter future. In hopes of being normal, many same-sex couples want to have a family and for some the only option is adoption. Well, same-sex adoption is not legal in most places which makes this dream for some impossible. This caused controversy between same-sex couples and the general public who believes that same-sex adoption should remain

There are currently 107,011 kids in the U.S. foster care system that are hoping and waiting to be adopted, so just imagine how many of those children could be adopted if more lesbian and gay couples were able to adopt. According to lifelong adoption agencies more and more gay and lesbian couples are becoming parents through artificial insemination, a surrogate, or LGBT adoption. It’s hard for same sex couples to adopt because adoption agencies that have religious beliefs against same sex couples reject them, or a state law prohibits same sex parents. Same sex couples face much opposition from a large number of people even though they do not have well supported arguments for their beliefs. Many studies have been done in an attempt to figure

Why are so many people against LGBT adoption? People says bought good and bad thing about LGBT adoption. People that are against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender says that gay couple are going to abuse their child, that same-sex couples would make their child develop unwanted abilities and more. Why does people say things like these, do they have actually prof? My opinion about LGBT adoption is that I think they should be allowed to adopt, because every child have the right to have a family and it is better for child to live in a foster home than an orphanage.

Since the early 1900s, homosexual people have become increasingly popular and greatly resisted. People that are homosexual face barriers placed upon them by the political system and society. Due to these challenges, homosexuals fought to have the same marital and parental rights as heterosexual people. Same-sex adoption is not prohibited in most states in the United States of America and many places worldwide. Family is not determined solely on blood relations and should be legalized in all parts of the world; because homosexual parents are just as good as heterosexual parents, if not better, and can provide an enriching second chance for many children waiting to be adopted.

“About 19 percent of same-sex couples raising children reported having an adopted child in the house in 2009, up from just 8 percent in 2000.” As society changes there opinions on same-sex marriage they more gays and lesbians are adopting. There was recent rise in same-sex adoption but there is still people in U.S. that are against same-sex adoption. Recently a judge in Kentucky objected gay and lesbian adoption. This caused a huge uproar and had people thinking whether or not gay and lesbian adoption is okay for the children. One article feels that state legislators are putting more hurdles in the way of adoption and preventing children from getting into loving and caring homes (“Adoptions are declining,”2017). Gays and lesbians being able to adopt will provide loving homes, get kids out of foster care, and they choose to be parents.

First of all, homosexuals should be allowed to adopt. The goal of our adoption and foster care systems is to provide all children with permanent, stable homes with loving and supportive parents, but discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and marital status hinders that. State governments bear discrimination, economic costs, same-sex couples are denied the ability to build a family, and, most importantly, children in need of loving and permanent homes are left in unstable caregiving situations. Over the years' child foster care has increased by a big number. With all these restrictions on homosexuals trying to adopt children doesn't help the number go down at all. People are trying to start a family and they can't because people don't believe it's right
