Adoption Rights Equality for Same-Sex Couples Abstract A child being adopted by same-sex couples is one of the biggest controversies in our world today. Same-sex couples should have the right to freely adopt because they too can provide a loving and safe environment for children. Why do minorities of people think gay couples should have the right to adopt? Adopting a child is not a right it is a privilege. Same sex couples form relationships that are more stable than many regular couple.
As more people “came out of the closet” gays and lesbians are becoming more socially accepted. They currently are battling for equality in a variety of areas. Even though the number of children adoptions would increase, No, gay and lesbians couples should not be allowed to adopt kids. It has been research and it’s said that it confuses children about gender roles and expectations of society. The gay and lesbians lifestyle is not something to be encouraged, as a lot of research shows it leads to a much lower life expectancy, psychological disorders, and other problems.
Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Maybe you thought,” Why are my eyes blue or why am I so tall?” So you look at your parents and realize it is inherited. Kids that are adopted can’t figure out why there eyes are a certain color or why there height is the way it is. So the only thing they can do is wonder and ask questions. According to Childwelfare.gov “Adoption is the social, emotional, and legal process in which children who will not be raised by their birth parents become full and permanent legal members of another family.” Although adoption is a great thing that gives many children homes, there is many different options.
She is an outstanding citizen in this society. I think she would be a terrific parent, and I resent those who think she is a “bad” person just because she is a lesbian. Many children born into traditional marriages would be far better off being raised by someone like her than by a heterosexual couple in a dysfunctional marriage, but that’s just my opinion. I can understand that many people prefer that gay unions be called something else besides “marriage”, but I don’t have a preference on that matter. Sometimes I wonder what all the hate against gay marriage is all about.
Dr. Kenneth Schonberg a pediatric doctor says, "There's no evidence that a child who is spanked moderately is going to grow up to be a criminal or anti-social or violent" (Rosellini 2). Although many psychologists and doctors have tried to prove this with false statistics, there is only proof that properly spanking a child will only benefit him or
Ludmila Kalenichenko Essay on article: “Building a Baby, With Few Ground Rules” By: Stephanie Saul Human Life Should Not Be Created This article was very shocking. I thought that surrogacy was used only as a last resort when a woman had problems carrying a child to term in her uterus, and another woman carried the couple’s biological child for them. This practice of assembling children from different components, where no one involved has any biological relation to the children, should be illegal. How in the world could 62 years old single man be expected to care for premature infants twins, and why was this allowed to go forward? The individuals behind the business of manufacturing babies are most certainly motivated by profitability, not charity.
But In 1987 gay marriage was not being thought of, there was no place in America where homosexuals could marry, this gave Jerry more ease in being adamantly opposed to this AIDS positive homosexual who moved home to die. Jerry’s views on the subject where imbedded in him from his upbringing, but that does not make them right. Jerry’s views are an excellent example of home grown
This quote is saying that although some kids grow up fine in a different race family, some do not, in which they faced a lot of hate from people of the community, affecting them mentally and physically. Kids in transracial adoptions are not as prepared for the community and people around them when it comes to hate and racist comments, compared to someone living with people of the same ethnicity. However, statistics show that the children do not differ from others of the same race, even if they are adopted. It states, “Children of interracial adoptions grow with the same sense of pride and develop the same family relationships as birth children raised in the same households.” (Source C). This means that those kids who know the difference between their family, due to their race, are more knowledgeable and shown to be more proud of their ethnicity.
The solution could be placing the child with a family of a different race. Critics of interracial adoption will say that parents who adopt children of different ethnicities are not capable of caring or educating the child simply because of the cultural differences. The critics opinion has merit in the since that the parents cannot teach the child to be their race but they can provide love and raise them to be responsible adults. In the end we must consider which is more important, being able to find a child a loving family when race is not a factor or waiting for an indefinite time to try to find a family of the same race. If you are thinking about which is more important remember that for every twenty children who are in foster care at least nine of them wait an extended amount of time to be adopted.
When asked my biological mother couldn’t explain what happened and had multiple men that were not my biological father trying to give a reason for what had happened. After I was placed in foster care I was there until I turned two years old and was then adopted. I don’t remember a lot of it, but I do know from what my adopted parents told me that I was kind of a handful. When my adopted parents brought
