Gay Adoption

When talking about rights in the United States, all could agree that is an equal opportunity country, but that does not apply to everybody. The laws on adoption are different in every state in the United States; not every gay or lesbian person has the same rights to adopt. However, the government has no right to discriminate against people who legally qualify to adopt children. It is not logical to assume who will become a good parent or not just because they have a sexual preference. The advantages of same sex adoptions will be discuss in this essay. At the end of the day just like Joyce Maguire Pavao said “Adoption is not about finding children for families, it’s about finding families for children”.

Homosexual couples are just like regular couples. It is incredible that even though they are fully capable of taking care of a child, it isn’t as easy to adopt for them, as it is for regular couples. For these couples the task of adopting a child is 10 times more difficult than for regular couples, and they still fight with all they have to become parents. We could agree that it is not the same as having a woman and a man as parents, but there will still be the same love and that’s really what matters when it comes to children. In another point of view the question is also being ask wrongly it should be “Does a child deserves to be adopted by same sex couple” at the end of the day the focus should be on the child not on the preference of the future parents.

There are millions of orphans throughout the whole world, wishing for someone to put a roof under their heads, hoping for someone to love them and take care of them like every human being deserves. Making gay adoption legally will allow the people help these kids. If we take a minute and put ourselves in the shoes of the child, as far as I know, there hasn’t been any evidence to suggest that gay parents are any worse than straight parents. The sexual preference of a human being does not make him or her less capable to provide education, love and protection. This have become a taboo because society have an issue with it and I think that we as a society have been very selfish putting moral believes in front of the well being of a child.

When thinking about things like this I always analyze the pros and cons. In reality what makes good parents? A good economic status, marriage, morals, really who decides that? I have witness parents with all this pre requirements that still don’t raise good people, because at the end of the day, money, social status and morals does not guarantee anything if one is not capable of loving and understanding what it means to be a parent. At the end of the day, the fact that a child is being raised by two men or by two women does not mean that this child will become homosexual. There has been already cases where these adoptions have been made and these kids are growing up as normal as any other kid. Being gay is not abnormal,
