LGBT adoption is the adoption of children by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. This may be in the form of a joint adoption by a same-sex couple, adoption by one partner of a same-sex couple of the other's biological child (step-child adoption) and adoption by a single LGBT person. Joint adoption by same-sex couples is legal in 25 countries. Opponents of LGBT adoption question whether same-sex couples have the ability to be adequate parents while other opponents question whether natural law implies that children of adoption possess a natural right to be raised by heterosexual parents. Since constitutions and statutes usually fail to address the adoption rights of LGBT persons, judicial decisions often determine whether they can serve as parents either individually or as couples.
Yes, but adoption laws should be harmonized with access to IVF for gay and straight couples, so that lesbian couples must meet the same requirements for using IVF as gay men for adoption.
they should only be allowed to adopt other gay people to get them out of our homes
Yes but, I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child No, and adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples.
No and It should be taken into consideration the toll it may take on the child. Bullying and those questions of why they had two mums or two dads
I support it, but I would be interested to know the influential and psycholigcal impact it may have on a childs development
The best interests of the child must always be the decisive factor
only if they like the environment, cause if they don't they might as well go to jail
Very difficult to answer at this point in time, I assume the world will continue to progress towards this - ideally the children would be of an age where they could make a decision
God created man to marry a woman and Homosexuals are an abomination to him
If the family approves it
Yes, not allowing gay couples to adopt is discriminatory and everyone should have the ability to adopt a child.
Of course! its not like they have a choice! if they want kids they cant just make or summon one. I dont think kidnapping is right either
Gay people should be euthenised. Heil!
Only if the child is at the age where they can decide if they want a gay set of parents.
As long as the child that is being adopted is okay to have gay parents then that is fine.
Deleted3mos
The Bible says they are Homosexuals and have no rights
Yes As long as they can support the child.
Yes and no but it comes down to if the kids are ok with it.
they can do what they want
Yes, but prioritise opposite sex couples
Only if the birth parents have agreed for the adoption of their baby to gay couples.
They should get none in the name of god.
Q3, but keep in mind that children often need a mother and father figure and lacking one can result in potential mental health issues, a troubled experience of childhood, and i'm going to go out on a limb here and say the chances of a child with same-sex parents being bullied in school is way higher for multiple factors.
adoption yes, surrogates no.
gay people can only adopt gay children
Yes but the child should get a choice.
gays die exept lil nas x
It should be the adoption agency decision
Depends on the preferences given by the mother or father who places the child for adoption.
Yes, and they should be prioritised over straight couples
yes i believe same sex couples should have the same rights as long as the child has the influence of the other gender as a role model in some form (Aunty or Uncle, Grandma or Grandpa)
Only if they are in a fit condition to raise a child
yes, but adoption agencies should prioritise offering children to straight couples before gay couples
Criminalise homosexuality
bro leave me alone and talk to your daddy
I don’t believe in abortion
Let them choose for themselves
Yes, but I would always try and get a straight couple where possible as I believe it is better for that child and their mental health in the long run.
Yes, as long as they have a mother/father figure ready for proper child development
Yes, but its not the government's prerogative to dictate who can and can't adopt based on sexual orientation.
yall are so mcf rude god damn deese mfs onlky wanbna be happy
u really think i care aboutr gay bois
their decision, i will not interfere
Yes, although I believe a mother and father family structure is preferable.
@9SNL6PWOne Nation10mos
Yes, but mother father families should have prioritisation
@9SKPG3RConservative11mos
The healthiest children physically and psychologically have male and female role models. As such, non-straight individuals should be allowed to adopt if they can demonstrate reliable role models will be made available to the child of the opposing sex otherwise priority should go to straight couples who meet the same adoption criteria. If there are not male and female role models available then non-straight couples should be allowed to adopt, rather than leaving the children in the system.
i do not want to ans
@9RPKV4GIndependent12mos
I think yes but they need to be able to have a stable and loving environment for the child to grow up. Like straight couples you need to be able to provide for a child.
