Everybody Should Be For Gay Adoption

In conclusion, the augment for gay adoption is far stronger and far better supported than those opposed. One must admit that sexual orientation is fundamentally irrelevant to a person’s capacity to be a good parent. The opposition to gay and lesbian adoption has failed to support its

This article talks about the support of second parent adoption for gays everywhere. They support the idea that children with two capable adults no matter what gender are able and should be able to care for a child. Although they support this, the article does not show any sort of negativity toward the opposite side relating the issue. The site details the rights that the second parent should be guaranteed through an adoption. They also think that pediatricians and other professions dealing with children should get more familiar with learning about gays and the children they adopt. The authors are the Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health. The people in the committee have many different backgrounds and are advocates for children’s

Many people are close minded and think the only acceptable home is one with a mother and a father that are married to each other, they may think that children need a mother and father for proper male and female role models, or even children raised by gay parents are more likely to be gay themselves. Whether you believe this to be true or not, the children that need to be adopted do not have parents at all. While many may say that being in foster care is better than being adopted by a homosexual family that is not true. Not all foster care families are warm and fuzzy. In many cases, foster families will abuse the children or take the money given to them by the state for the children and use it for themselves. And over the matter of whether they turn gay or not, isn’t it better for them to have families and homes than that they stay in foster care until they are lucky and a couple adopts them or until they turn 18 and are forced out of foster

Since the 1990’s approximately 8-10 million children in the US alone are raised in a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT) household. Same-Sex Adoption is controversial because many people throughout the world are against LGBT adoption; but when faced with the number of kids who pray everyday for someone out there wanting to be the parent of a foster child, it is difficult to understand why the topic of gay adoption is controversial. Yes, there can be a bad outcome but there can also be a very good outcome of these kinds of adoptions. The LGBT Adoption situation can be fixed by allowing any adult or parent to adopt a child if they have the right living environment or the knowledge and skills that it takes to raise a kid in the proper way. But social workers have reservations on considering gay adoptive parents because they are fearful of how the parents will treat and raise the children and how they will grow up feeling. People who oppose same sex marriage, including U.S. elected officials, have argued that a child raised by a LGBT parent will need additional emotional support or will face social challenges compared to children with heterosexual parents (Borreli). Although many people believe that LGBT parents shouldn’t be allowed to adopt because it affects the child, LGBT parents should be allowed to adopt because many kids need a place to call home or someone they can call family, they need someone in a similar situation that they can talk

Recently a study at Australia´s University of Melbourne determined that in terms of emotional and physical health children of homosexual parents are the same as heterosexual parents. In some cases, these children, even seem to be happier and healthier, because gay couples tend to create partnerships and households based on quality. There is some evidence in fact, that show gay couples make better parents. Thousands of children still need loving homes to be placed into and homosexual parents are an option that is rarely considered. Same-sex adoption does not in fact hurt these children. It is when these children are discriminated against by others for having same-sex parents. In the end it does not matter what the parent´s sexuality is. What

Many children, if they had to guess if the parents were gay or not, could not tell the difference. The adopted child acts and does as every normal child. The children get the same loving care as traditional home and raise them to make right decisions when going through life. The child may become more open minded on both sides of a different kind of situation, and not just on being gay. This may let the child see the world from a different side than a traditional household, and let the child explore different options that the world offers. As a result, the child gets a happy home with financial support that he or she needs. People that are against gay adopting believe a traditional home is the only acceptable home for a child. They say that house may become unstable with two men being too feminine. They argue that having a dominant male role in the family is a big factor on how the child will grow up, and without the male role the child may choose drugs, gangs, or even suicide. It may make the child gay from seeing their parents, think that is what society will accept, and think that is what is normal. Many people who are against gay adopting mainly base it with religion, that if they take their child to church then they are a hypocrite. The bible says being “homosexual” is an abomination and is wrong in God’s eyes. The child may also experience bullying in school; growing up with sexual confusion, depression, and emotional problems. Thereafter, the child

Adoption has been around for over a hundred years giving children the opportunity for a permanent home, but it is only in recent years that the question of gay adoption has risen. Unfortunately, there are millions of orphans around the world, but there are not enough families or parents able to take them in. There are not many families available who are able and willing to adopt children; whether it be because they have children of their own, they do not have the resources available to support them, or they simply do not want children. The result is an overabundance of orphaned children in need of a loving, lasting family. However, there is a solution to this problem that many refuse to accept: gay adoption. Although the presence of open homosexual couples around the world has increased, they still continue to face adversity, whether it be socially or legally; this affliction can be discerned with the fact that it is illegal for homosexual couples to adopt within a set of territories around the world (including the U.S.). While there are children awaiting to be adopted and zealous parents waiting to welcome them into their homes, possible parents are banned from doing so. These parents have not done anything wrong and possess the same skills and resources as other potential parents, yet they are denied the opportunity to give a child security, love, and protection; all of which a child needs. Prejudice and discrimination are the driving forces behind these decisions. Gay couples should

Gay adoption and parenting are one of the sexual orientation issues affecting the society today. It involves two men who adopt children and raise them as their kids. There are various ways of adopting children, including agency adoption, independent adoptions and the identified adoptions (Golombok et al., 458). After adoption, children are brought up with the parents of the same sex. For gay adoption, it involves both male parents (Goldberg, Jordan, and April, 168). Different challenges are, therefore, faced by such families, including prejudice and discrimination and lack of both maternal and paternal support. Therefore, gay adoption and parenting is an issue that has affected children and family and interventions such as education on how the act has a negative effect on the well-being of the children need to be put in place.

Gay adoption can help children in foster cares have a home. Gay adoption increases the amount of people able to adopt. If straight couples were only allowed to adopt, the amount of children in foster care would be increasing faster. The process of adopting is no different for gay couples than straight couples. They have the same process to go though. Both types of parent require a criminal record check. children of same-sex couples may have the advantage of being more open-minded and understanding to differences. Gay parents can give children knowledge on things they have experienced personally.Research shows that children who are raised by gay parents grow up as successfully as children raised by straight parents.

In the past most adoption agencies were judgemental upon the homosexual community and would not allow them to adopt. Leaving thousands of the children within orphanages,with an expectancy of being adopted low. Children are the future for America today and it’s in their best interest to give them the opportunity to live in a household with parents that will give them the love and attention they need. Legalization of same-sex marriages facilitate adoption because those couples don’t have the ability of procreation and this gives them the chance to have a family. Some families believe that they will harm the idea of “traditional families” but in fact a 2009 study made by the Social Science Quarterly stated “laws permitting same-sex marriage or civil unions have no adverse effect on marriage, divorce, and abortion rates”. That it will not affect the families because of one homosexual family. A study that was initiated in 1986 to provide prospective data on the growth of a child within lesbian families showed that “adolescents who have been reared in lesbian-mother families since birth demonstrate healthy psychological adjustment” as said by the Pediatrics Committee on Psychological Aspects of Child and Family Health(Volume 126, Issue 1). That nothing was wrong with these children and it wasn’t the fault of the sexual orientation of the parent that affected the child.

There are plenty of disagreements in the United States about what is moral and what is immoral. Some people believe raising children absent of religion is immoral, yet others who do not practice any religion can adopt children and be foster parents. Why should this stop gay people from being adoptive a child? Drinking alcohol could be consider an immoral act, but it does not stop anyone from being evaluated as a foster parent, adoption should not be based on anybody’s sexual orientation. If we remove all the people who could be considered immoral, we will be left with almost no parents to adopt children and provide foster care. Most of us agree that it is not right to leave children without a home when there are plenty of qualified loving parents waiting to raise them. If heterosexual couples can raise children, gay couples should be given the change to do so too. (J. Michael Bailey, Bobrow, Wolfe & Mikach.

This should enable the state to do anything and everything it can to protect the children from this disadvantage and to give them as many advantages that are possible. This is done by doing everything to make sure they go to a stable home with a mother and a father. To create an environment where the child is safe and not exposed to the type of behavior that will affect the choices they make down the road. The interest of the child being adopted should always be of the utmost importance. The fact that the parents are gay or straight is not the main issue. The safety and well-being of the child is what should be taken into consideration before anything. Discrimination is not the goal of denying homosexuals the ability to adopt children. The well-being of the

There are many common myths about gay adoption. One popular argument is that having two parents of the same gender means that role models aren’t being fit correctly. What people don’t consider is that these role models aren’t being fit when kids are forced to live in orphanages due to laws preventing gay people from adopting them. Parents aren’t the only role models for kids. Uncles, aunts, teachers, and other adults in the lives of children can all be excellent role models. Another common myth is that people in LGBT relations can’t be good influences and will teach their children to be unethical and dishonest. The truth of the matter is that the sexuality of a parent has nothing to do with what type of behavior they show as far as ethics and honesty work. One worry that people who are against gay adoption have is that children of LGBT parents will be

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

One of the most important thing for children is to have a loving and supporting home. Having a loving and supportive home can come from same-sex couple or heterosexual couples. According to the article Overview of gay and lesbian parenting, adoption and foster care by American Civil Liberties “Good parenting is not influenced by sexual orientation. Rather, it is influenced most profoundly by a parent's ability to create a loving and nurturing home -- an ability that does not depend on whether a parent is gay or straight.” This just shows how important it is for kids to
