LGBT adoption

Nowadays Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) adoption is legal in the U.S, but like many rights it hasn’t always been legal. It is more accepted now that people of the LGBT community should be able to expand their family in other ways since they can't conceive naturally. Unfortunately, there are plenty of kids to “go around” because there are a lot of kids in the foster system. It is not fair to dismiss the rights of people based on their sexuality. It's not about who you love, but if you are a caring person and how you treat people. The people of the LGBT community should be able to adopt and make a real family as they desire. A real family doesn’t have to consist of the stereotypical gender roles. Not that long ago, there were quite a few states that banned LGBT adoption ( VA, MI, ND, NE, et… ). LGBT can give kids a good home. Being gay or lesbian isn’t the only thing that matters when it comes down to caring for children. They are not stealing the kids, but rather trying to provide loving homes. (Joint Adoption Laws - Family Equality Council.) (Foley, Katherine Ellen. ) (LGBT Adoption Laws.)…

Transgender (LGBT) community are gaining more and more support. People used to think that if you were anything but straight you were an abomination and was less than those who were straight. But things are changing. As of June of 2015, members of the LGBT community are now able to marry whomever they want. This is thanks to a decision made by the Supreme Court, which said that marriage is a basic right that everybody deserves. But with all of the successes this community has had, there are still…

The Effects of Gay Adoption on a Child Children need loving homes and it is unfair that people are preventing them from receiving that. Homosexuals have barely been accepted and now they are being denied the opportunity to be parents. As stated by Bonnie Miller Rubin, “roughly 3,700 children are in state custody – taken from their homes because of abuse or neglect” (Rubin 2). People are fine with putting kids in homes that are unsafe but are against putting them in a home with two loving…

same-sex marriage is legal in all fifty states, it is only a matter of time before same-sex adoption will become a norm. On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage legal in all fifty states, and newly married couples are seeking to create a family. With so many children in the foster care system, same-sex adoption would increase the adoption rates tremendously. Same-sex adoption is an incredible opportunity to provide children with a stable and healthy living environment.…

This results in an adoption arrangement where a child has two legal parents, both with the same legal status regarding their association with the child (NCLR, 2016). Also, same-sex or LGBT couples can utilize the stepparent adoption process used by married couples. Most of the states that identify a comprehensive domestic partnerships or even civil unions permit couples who are united in such legal unions to utilize the stepparent adoption process. The impact caused by such adoptions is similar…

“..What makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it is the courage to raise one”(Obama). Gay adoption is the adoption of children by lesbian or gay adults. Same-sex couples around the world have hopes to raise a family of their own; unfortunately, for homosexual couples, starting a family does not come as easy as it does for straight couples. Few men choose to use surrogate mothers; some lesbians have their own children through fertility clinics and sperm banks; and some couples…

Homosexual Adoption Must Be Tolerated The LGBT+ community has struggled for many years to have the same rights as cisgendered heterosexuals. Within the last few years, they have gained freedoms granted to the rest of the citizens of the United States, yet many people still disapprove of adoption by homosexual couples. Many adoption agencies bar homosexual adoption, and it is extremely hard to go through with adoptions in some states. Many argue that same-sex couples cannot provide the same…

Adoption by non-heterosexual couples has been a big topic to discuss for the last decade because some critics in this society are against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT) being able to adopt because they are different than “everyone” else and they do not meet the criteria that today’s society is used to. Adoption should be based on how good the potential parents would take care of the child, instead of the potential parents' sexual orientation, because a loving environment is…

recent "Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System" report, there were about 406,412 children in foster care in the United States in 2010 (AFCARS). One reason why homosexuals are denied their rights to adopt is because many people are prejudice and believe…
