Arguments Against Homosexual Adoption

Superior Essays
“Adoption is about finding families for children, not finding children for families “says Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao.

It is not just because of that, also; of religious reason people are against of homosexuals adopting children. Everyone should have the privilege to adopt a kid regardless …show more content…

In comparison with this to homosexual acts, I do not believe this to be immoral.…
