Adoption by Gay Couples

Most orphan children are waiting for the perfect family: a mother and a father. This is the excellent model of family in all the cultures and those orphan children want to have one. It is common to listen to some couples, which are not are able to conceive because of different problems, to talk about adoption; but what about homosexual couples which want to adopt a child? Authorities should take into consideration many aspects at the moment of giving in adoption a child to homosexual couples such as the social environment and the possible child’s behavior.

One of the reasons why the homosexual adoption should be banned is because of the child’s social environment. Acoording to the American Academy of Pediatrics in William Saletan "Adopting Premises" (2002) argues that "Prevalent heterosexism and stigmatization might lead to teasing and embarrassment for children about their parent's sexual orientation or their family constellation and restrict their ability to form and maintain friendships," Then, Children are most likely to be bothered by their friends, classmates and neighbors, so if a child has homosexual parents it is going to be vey difficult for him/her to deal with this because s/he will be exposed to gibes; that is, because the child does not have heterosexual parents and s/he just has two fathers or two mothers who are married. The laughs and questions about his/her parents will be around annoying him/her. Then, the child needs a normal family in order to grow up in a healthy environment.

            Another reason is the possible child’s behavior. As we saw before the best environment for the children is a household with both a mother and a father. On the other hand, a homosexual surrounding can model homosexual behavior; acoording to Ken Connor president of the family Research Council in William Saletan "Adopting Premises" (2002) says that "sexual identity confusion is common among children raised by gay parents" and that "children of lesbians are less likely to fit traditional gender roles." Therefore, it is better for the child to have heterosexual parents in order to develop a good behavior.

            Some homosexual couples might disagree and say that a child raised by them can have more love and be healthier than a child who is raised by heterosexual parents. According to Ken Connor, president of the Family Research Council in William Saletan "Adopting premises", (2002) "gays shouldn't be allowed to raise kids—as they have in the studies reported so far—because "children are not guinea pigs and should not be used as pawns in some grand social experiment."
So, most homosexual marriages just want to adopt a child because they want to imitate the model of family but they are not taking into consideration the problems they will cause to the children they want to adopt. Then, homosexual couples are not able to give a healthy environment to the orphan children.

As a conclusion, the adoption by gay people should be banned because of the social environment the child will have and the child’s behavior. The perfect family orphan children want to have is composed by a father, a mother and children where they can find a model of a mother and a father which can help them to grow up in a healthy environment without problems, but homosexual parents does not care about this, they only want to copy a family model which is not possible because children will not find that model and they just will get confused and they will have many problems within the society. So, the authorities must take into consideration all these aspects at the moment of giving in adoption a child to homosexual parents.
