Overall, gay adoption is an option to consider. Since gay adoption is increasing adoption rates have raised drastically. Compared to others, gay parents have even excel in many aspects of parenting. There are many positives and negatives that go along with this issue. To further this subject matter there should be more awareness that gay adoption is a valuable option.…
Due to my religious background, I believe that homosexuality is a sin and is unacceptable. Children raised by homosexuals are taught that it is an acceptable way of life. The Bible teaches that homosexuals cannot enter into Heaven because of the choices they have made. It is sad that children raised in homosexual families will never be taught the scriptures because of their parents’ disbelief. Therefore, I think homosexuals should not have the opportunity to adopt and raise innocent children. Although I disagree with homosexuality, I know I will have to refrain from voicing my opinion in the…
In our world, there are different types of human beings. According to the continuous development of society, the human culture can progress, also can accept many things that can't accept before. Same-sex union also by more and more people accept. “There has been a tremendous growth in the visibility of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples as adoptive parents.” said by Bill Pierce, president of the [Washington, D.C]. The Gay parents is not a new phenomenon any more, but I believe even gay parents or lesbian parents, they still have normal life. For the children's growth, gay parents have more ways to educate their children.…
On the other hand I am aware that not every heterosexual home in the world is a stable and a suitable home to raise a child in. In many homes in this world there are children that are beaten, raped, hungry, and also very poorly supported. In those terms and in those cases I do believe that it may be acceptable for a child that are in those conditions to be placed in a home where they will be loved and supported and be loved. I do also agree that a homosexual couple is very capable of loving and providing and taking care of a child. If the child is being beaten and unloved and raped and other extreme conditions I would be supportive and feel that it was okay for a child to be adopted into a homosexual home.…
As human beings we are all entitled to our rights to have a family. Society’s image of a perfect heterosexual family is just a stereotype. Nowadays kids today do not live with two married parents. The sexual identity of a child with gay parents develops the same way with heterosexual parents. Most gay or lesbian children are born into a heterosexual family. Children are more impacted by the communication with their parents rather than the sexual identity of their parents. Even living in a homosexual household children adapt quite well with their peers. Growing up with two homosexual parents the child tend to believe in equal rights and is sympathy towards differences. Gay parents are not accidental parents so they are much more devoted and inclined versus heterosexual parents who became accidental parents. ”It has be stated that children can be successfully raised by same-sex couple with no adverse effects that would not have been present if raised by parents of the opposite sex.” (LGBT Adoption Statistics) Traditionally family beliefs are not adequate proof for…
There are many arguments coming from both sides about this topic, for example the majority of homosexual couples trying to adopt are male, due to the fact that they cannot have their own children. The plus side to homosexual adoption is that the majority does seem to provide a more stable home than that of a normal couple. With divorces at an all time high, many children today are being raised in single homes. Statistics show that a child who is adopted by a homosexual couple has two full time parents equaling a more stable environment to grow up in. I feel as though homosexual adopting is better for a child than him/her landing in foster care where they are moved from different homes until they are of legal…
Should gays and lesbians couple be allowed to adopt children? The answer to this big argument is “NO!.” Gay couples adopting creates confusion about the child’s gender connection. For example, raising a heterosexual child in a same sex household will most likely question his or her sexuality. Same sex parents abuse more of drugs and…
Normally married same-sex couples have less troubles adopting children and some may find it easier than heterosexual couples but in other cases where the couple isn’t legally married because the state the live in has set laws against it have a more difficult time. They have more rules and regulations than others and most of the time cannot adopt at all. However this could all be prevented if gay couples could legally marry without discrimination. More rights need to be given to the LGBTQ community considering they are alive and human as well as everyone else in the…
I agree that the gay couple can adopt children. All the kids need guardians to look after them, but it does not necessary mean that the guardians must be one male and one female. A single mother, a single father, or a gay couple can also be the guardians, as long as they are qualified and able to provide the child with a happy childhood. Before a normal couple adopts a child, they will be interviewed to check if they can be good parents, and I believe the gay couple should be interviewed as well. As long as they meet the requirement as guardians, they should have the right to adopt a child.…
Some people believe gay couples don't have stable relationships and believe this to cause couples to not be good parents. Some adults in this country and the majority of gay couples are in stable committed relationships. With this said of course some gay couples have issues, as well as some heterosexual relationships. Every relationship on the planet not just the United States has problems, or has had problems. The adoption and foster care screening process is very strict, including recent home visits and interviews of possible candidates to be parents. This system is designed to demonstrate those certain individuals who are not qualified to adopt children or be foster parents, for whatever reason. All of the evidence shows that gay couples can make good parents. The American Psychological Association, in report revising the research, came to an observation to demonstarte that "not a single study has found children of gay or lesbian parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents," and came to a conclusion that "home environments provided by gay and lesbian parents are as likely as those provided by heterosexual parents to support and enable children's psychosocial growth." That is why the Child Welfare League of America, and the North American Council on…
Various people have the opinion that gay couples shouldn’t legally adopt, Children in particular benefit from same-sex marriage. More than one quarter of the same-sex couples we surveyed were raising children and almost all of these couples said their children were happier and better off as a result of their marriage. So why do people want to try and jeopardize a couples chance at being a family? Same-sex couples should have the exact same rights as a straight couple. Statistics shows that children of same-sex parents do as well as children whose parents are heterosexual in every way therefore there is no valid reason as to why same-sex couples should not adopt.…
On my way home. “It’s now a reality on the ground,” said Adam Pertman, Executive Director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, an organization working to change adoption policy. And it’s a fact that despite legal barriers, about 19 percent of same - sex couples reported having an adopted child in the house in 2,009 up from just 8 percent in 2.000 according to the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law at the University of California, Los Angeles. The reality is that in the U.S. same – sex couples are explicitly prohibited from adopting in only two states: Utah and Mississippi. However, they face significant legal problems due to the fact that they can’t get legally married in many states. On the other hand, there are many children currently waiting to be adopted. Therefore, gay couples can be a significant and stable option when it comes the large number of children waiting an adoption, also they can offer the same upbringing as heterosexual couples, and same- sex couples should have the same rights as straight couples.…
Thesis statement: Adoption by same-sex couples should be legalized to provide orphans with a family environment or people who can take care of their wellbeing, provide the couples with the right to have children and a family of their own.…
In 2011, 400,540 children in the US were in the foster care system, waiting to be adopted according to the Children’s Bureau page at the Administration for Children and Families webpage. However, an entire demographic is being excluded from giving these children a home: gay and lesbian couples. Just as there is controversy surrounding same-sex marriage, there is also controversy surrounding same-sex adoption. Some believe that the children are better…
With so many stereotypes around, it's no wonder so many people are against gay couples adopting. So many people believe that a child living with a gay couple will have low self-esteem. Some people believe that a child living with a gay couple will be picked on and bullied. If people would just give this a chance, it might turn out to be a great thing. Sometimes we just need to give things a chance before we stereotype them.…
