The Adoption Of Gay And Gay Marriages

A child who is raised in a homosexual household is more likely to grow an affinity for the same sex. They will also experience bullying more often whether it be in school or just walking down the street because not everyone agrees with the homosexual relationships, which can have a negative effect in the child's life. This is the first step to destroying traditional household.

“Nearly half of LGBs people who are currently without children would like to adopt someday; 46 percent of lesbian and bisexual women have considered adoption at some point, compared with only 32 percent of heterosexual women. Estimates suggest that there are at least 2 million lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals who have considered adopting a child and an estimated 65,000 adopted children living with a gay or lesbian parent

These children do not have permanent homes and approximately 100,000 are eligible to be adopted. It was not until 2015, when the Obergefell v. Hodges case was officially passed and legalized gay marriage. This then gave the right for same-sex couples to adopt a child together. Homosexual couples outnumber heterosexual couples seeking to adopt. Which is great for, after the ratification of this law, more opportunities are arising for children to be given a permanent home. However, discrimination still exists. In some states, while it is not illegal for a gay couple to adopt, a law still exists, making it easy for agencies to be biased because of their religious or moral objections (The Effects of Lesbian and Gay Parenting

Gay parent adoption or same-sex adoption refers to the adoption of children by individuals who prefer romantic partners of the same sex--gays and lesbians. Same-sex adoption is portrayed by the media as being a potentially good thing but with potentially detrimental side effects, most notably for the adopted children. This type of adoption is often made to look as if it might well be done but perhaps should not be for the sake of the children involved. With groups such as the religious right, fundamentalist Christian denominations, and private religiously affiliated adoption agencies backing the opposition to adoption by gays and lesbians and, on the other side, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign, and various LGBT (lesbian gay bisexual transgender)-friendly groups making up the proponents, the battle over same- sex adoption is well defined and entrenched in a deep and long-standing debate. That battle begins with the media and its portrayal of gay parent adoptions as against the agencies and advocacy groups and their perspectives on placing children in the homes and care of homosexual individuals.

When American citizens hear the word “gay,” what is the first connection that pops into their mind? Does it mean happiness, love, or does it have a negative connotation? Throughout the years, the world epidemic on gay marriage has always been a controversy in the press. In the 1600s, if a gay man or woman practiced sodomy, they were put to death (ProQuest Staff “LGBT”). From the 1600s to the current day, gay rights are still a critical political debate in today’s society that needs a solution. For one to understand at this problem, he or she needs to analyze the causes and effect of this solution.

School is an important part of any kids’ life, and the sexual orientation of their parents is an argument that has been made against LGBT parents by saying their kids will not be as smart or intelligent as children with straight parents. For children of LGBT parents, the most important people in their academic career are the school staff, the same with children who have straight parents. Tests showed with LGBT children “the presence of supportive school staff was related to their academic achievement. For example, students with LGBT parents who could identify many supportive staff at their school reported a GPA half a grade higher” (Allen and Goldberg). A study had even been done while trying to determine the psychological aspects of LGBT parents and social relationships which “reported no differences between children raised by lesbians and those raised by heterosexuals with respect to crucial factors of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, performance in social arenas (sports, school and friendships)” (Gilfoyle). While only 33 out of 1,010 principals about 30% (Allen and Goldberg) studied had professional development help to handle the bullying LGBT children went through, there was no effect on the grades. All the tests showed that even as these children of LGBT parents were bullied, their grades did not suffer, and

107,918 kids are waiting to be adopted every year. Approximately only half of these children will be adopted a year. A great loving family for these kids could be waiting and willing to adopt but they may not be the typical family. Many Americans believe that kids need both a mother and a father. With this belief often times there is a prejudice against Gay and Lesbian couples adopting children. Approximately one-third of all LGBTQ couples who would like to adopt get denied by at least one organization. That means that over 32,000 kids could be adopted if that one-third of couples didn’t get denied because of religious views or state laws of an adoption organization.

Teens and children who admit to being LGBT or having LGBT parents are more likely to be bullied – about 76% of this population admit to having been

Adoption has been around for a long time, however only recently has the topic of gay adoption risen. There are many fostered children on the planet, yet not enough families or guardians to take them in. There aren't that many families who can and will adopt children, regardless of whether this is on account of they can't assist them, they have offspring of their own, or they simply don't want kids. The final product is as yet an excess of stranded children needing an adoring family. There is an answer for this issue. LGBT adoption. There is a rising measure of openly gay couples all around and many of those couples would love to have children, however, it's as yet still illegal for gay couples to adopt children in a few regions of the U.S.,

Numerous studies have been conducted on various facets of gay relationships. Focusing on the levels of interaction, and people’s ability to love a child just like any other straight couple. When individuals who have no clue about gay marriage or even gay families start to think and question the issue it sounds like, ‘Wait, isn’t having gay parents hard on the children?’ People immediately jump to conclusions because they haven’t done research or even tried to observe the situation itself. The talk about gay adoption is becoming more relevant in the world. There is a rising amount of open same-sex couples everywhere and many of them would love to have kids, but it’s still illegal for same-sex couples to adopt children in the U.S., let alone

Societies evolve. Nothing better illustrates this fact than America’s rapid surge of acceptance towards same-sex marriage during the early twenty-first century. A 2017 Pew Research study found that nearly 30% of Americans changed their minds on gay marriage less than two decades. In 2001, a mere 35% of Americans supported same-sex marriages— a number that skyrocketed to 62% in 2017 (Pew Research Center, 2017). This is a statistical anomaly. Americans have never changed their minds on an issue so quickly. In fact, it took several decades to legalize interracial marriage, which was left up to the states until 1967 (Tribou & Collins, 2016).

Gay adoption or LGBT adoption is where lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) persons or couples who adopts children and provides them a loving family and home they deserve. There are various kinds of gay adoptions such as a joint adoption; when a same-sex couple, married or unmarried, jointly adopts a child, step-parent adoption; when one partner of a married same-sex couple adopts the other partner’s biological or adopted child, second parent adoption; when one partner of a same-sex couple, married or unmarried, adopts the other partner’s biological or adopted child and the single-parent adoption; when a single LGBT person adopts a child(Lifelong Adoptions 2012,n.p). The number of gay adoptions in the 21st century has increased

Gay Marriage around the world is something of a controversial topic. Everyone has a different opinion on the rights of gay people and how exactly the matter should be addressed. Some countries have made it illegal to practice homosexuality; some even consider it punishable by death. But what do Christians around the world and specifically in South Africa think about it?

Everyone should have the right to marry whoever they choose to marry, they have their own right to do as they please. No one should be judged based on their own preferences. If they look at it in a bigger grand of scale it can be truly beneficial for everyone, ways that gay marriage can benefit majority of people is that, gay marriage can bring financial gain to federal sates, who would not want that, everyone would want to benefit finically. By doing those things it will boost the economy in a tremendous way. Do the bishops seriously imagine that legalizing gay marriage will result in thousands of parties to heterosexual marriages suddenly deciding to get divorced so they can marry a person of the same sex? (Malcolm Turnbull).

In consideration of what has been happening as of current, most cases are being that the LGBTQ community has been the reason that there has been a change with the sudden bump of the increased rate of children's being adopted from either the orphanages or foster homes. Most gay couples nowadays are considering to start a family, but could never adopt until the states could finally pass a law where gay and lesbian could adopt a kid, “(...) And several states allow gay couples to adopt children” (Jaweed Kaleem, 41-42). Despite that, there are still a majority of people who cannot accept the fact now that gay couples
