Same Sex Marriage And Marriage

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

The unjust and prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex is discriminating; according to the Oxford dictionary. This term does not empower them, but instead make people feel powerless. Same-sex couples in particular, who are looking to adopt, feel unequal to their heterosexual associates. In relation to adoption, there shouldn’t be preference to heterosexual couples over same-sex couples. Adoption typically is not an easy process, but when it comes to people of the same sex trying to adopt, what seems to be as simple as to buying a puppy, is very intimidating and discouraging. The laws that govern these decisions do not help at all. The inconsistency amongst all of the states in America makes the process even more challenging, to the point where couples give up. Same-sex couples who are fortunate enough to be allowed by the courts to adopt, are still being judgmental. The judgments are based on their parenting abilities and the effects their lifestyle they live, whether it will have a negative backlash on the children. The intention of my analysis on same-sex adoption is to examine some of the bifurcation and the challenges that these individuals encounter while trying to legally adopt a child.

Many people from older generations argue that same sex parenting is an abomination resisting any other insight into what is truly best for children. But it is true that hundreds of thousands of children are placed in foster care awaiting their forever families, and these children should not be denied a permanent family because of narrow mindedness. It does not take a scientist to figure that two people of the same sexual orientation cannot biologically conceive a child on their own; therefore adoption is the only option homosexuals have. While adoption

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

Many states laws deny children in foster care, healthy, loving homes simply because of a potential parent’s sexual orientation (Gray, 2006), The catholic church as well as other organization’s oppose gay adoption based upon religious teachings, while others debate the legality of it (Gray, 2006). In today’s society, many children grow up to be emotionally stable and successful whether they have a heterosexual couple as parents or a same sex couple as parents. Gay parent adoptions are an equal right, as they are becoming more mainstream and are as equally stable as heterosexual adoptions.

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

On June 26, 2015 America legalized same sex marriage. Today homosexuals are being denied the right to adopt children. When two people get married, they typically plan on having a family, however homosexuals are not getting their hopes up anymore. Homosexuals are being denied the right to adopt not because they are not worthy parents, but because of their sexual orientation. There are thousands of children in the foster care system and many homosexuals wanting and waiting to adopt a child. Letting homosexuals adopt would lessen the number of children in foster care. People say that children need a mother and father, homosexuality is immoral, it will cause a homosexual community and because it goes against the bible. It is a good point that a child would need a mother and father figure, however the child will have extended family and other gender role models. Homosexuality is not immoral anymore and is becoming a big part of our society. Just because

Britain's last Catholic adoption society announced that it would stop finding homes for children if forced by legislation to place children with same-sex couples. All in all adoption of children in the United States and is gender blind. Nobody has the right to judge or dictate a couple or a person choice on adoption. Selection of kids by LGBT individuals is an issue of dynamic level headed discussion. In the United States, for instance, enactment to stop the practice has been presented in numerous locales; such endeavors have to a great extent been vanquished. There is understanding between the debating parties, in any case, that the welfare of youngsters alone ought to direct strategy. Supporters of LGBT selection propose that numerous youngsters need homes and case that since child rearing capacity is inconsequential to sexual introduction, the law ought to permit them to receive kids. Rivals, then again, propose that the affirmed more noteworthy pervasiveness of sadness, medication utilize, wantonness and suicide among gay people (and claimed more noteworthy predominance of aggressive behavior at home) may influence kids or that the non-appearance of male and female good examples amid a kid's improvement could bring about maladjustment. Catholic

One day I was looking out my window, watching my boys play. I started thinking about how they are the future of the world. They are the engineers, presidents, congressman, businessman, and lawyers of tomorrow. Later that day, I saw a news article discussing the issue of same sex adoption. As I watched I thought to myself, “where did we forget that it was about the kids?” So, out of curiosity, I began to look up some statistics about kids that have no homes, the ones that are waiting for good families. I started wondering if it is about the kids, then why, do we care about same sex adoptions at all. There are two sides to the argument of same sex adoption, and to really get a feel for the issue you must understand both sides. However, the two sides of the discussion are not entirely complicated although the reasons are. One side supports same sex adoption and the other side opposes same sex adoption. Both sides agree that what they want is what’s best for the kids.

Gay parents are facing discrimination because of their sexual orientation. Twenty-two states currently allow single gays to adopt and 21 states currently allow gay and lesbian couples to adopt in the U.S. (Mallon, 2007, p. 6). The ability of gay couples to rear a child should not be denied only because they are gay. Homosexuals may be looked down upon by society, but they still are humans and have morals. These morals they possess, may influence a child more than those morals taught to a child with heterosexual parents. All over the world, children suffer in families consisting of alcoholics, drug abusers, and sexual abusers (Powell, 2007, p.1). It is not possible that these environments are safer than what would be provided by homosexual

28 European countries underwent a study to determine their personal opinion of whether or not, homosexual couples should have or not have the right to adopt children? Homosexual couples includes lesbian women, gay men and their families. Northern countries were more realistic with the concept of homosexual adoption because their countries have established a normative legal systems in which same-sex couples do not have to hide. Research from Herek (2002) and others have indicated the root towards the rejection of these families. For instance, countries that hold traditional perspective are less inclined to be acceptable to support same-sex relationship and less with same-sex adoption. These beliefs encounter roles women and man should play in society and by accepting same-sex relationship, one may go against the traditional societal view of man and woman. Motivations that enable same-sex couples to want to adopt children would be the fact that they cannot bear on their own, “and the idea of not having children could influence attitudes toward adoption” (Takacs, p 1797, 2016). This study gives us an idea of the general international perspective of same-sex adoption and what influences lead them to think this

Homosexuality- defined as being sexually attracted to one’s own gender- has incessantly been a compelling social issue. A majority of society sees the ‘wrong’ sexual orientation as evil or unhuman, regardless of character content. In April 1952, the American Psychiatric Association even labeled homosexuality as a mental disorder. Today, same sex relationships have been normalized and live life as ordinary people, yet treated as second-class citizens. This treatment by society has significantly limited the basic human rights of these individuals, including parenthood. Should LGBTQ+ be able to adopt children? Do gay parents and guardians effect children negatively?

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.

In the United States, every child has the right to develop healthily, and with the ever growing number of kids without a family to look after them, they deserve to receive a warm welcome by whoever would accept them as their own. Foster care children in particular already struggle greatly due to loss and trauma. In more awful circumstances, vast amounts of youth will age out of the foster care system and fall into the risk of becoming jobless or homeless. This information in mind should be enough to make changes accordingly in order to prevent such consequences. The thousands of children waiting to be adopted have raised an argument among the public about whether same-sex couples should have the same adoption rights as straight couples. Progressive change has already been achieved with the legalization of same-sex adoption throughout all 50 states, but many still oppose the ruling and restrictions exist in some areas when it comes to fostering. For this nation to truly stand for social equality and provide for its youth, a parent’s sexuality should not have be a determining factor in the adoption process.
