the only laws to blame; some federal laws also inhibit same-sex marriage, benefits, adoption, and parenting rights. There are even laws prohibiting same-sex couples from becoming adoptive parents altogether. Rights should not be limited because of sexual orientation, race, religion, gender, or creed; that’s discrimination. Same-sex couples

Gay adoption by legal couples has become a rising controversy in the past decade, affecting the lives of many children and families. Most states allow gays and lesbians to individually adopt but do not allow them adoption as a legally recognized couple.

Parental Involvement in regards to education is huge. Parents are the people advocating for the children. It is important for teachers to have a good relationship with parents in order to make the best decisions for the child. Teachers and parents can come together to make these decisions. In regards to special education, the parental involvement MUST be there. Parents need to make sure their child is in the right seating, receive all their services and receiving the assistive technology device that

What would you expect to be the result of a parents investing a considerable amount of money in technology, to make the lives of their family easier? You would probably expect them to live more efficient lives, build stronger relationships with their children and spend more time with them.
