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.

They should have the rights to adopt a child but only one parent can a adopt, it doesn't matter if their gay or not, they are just like us they want to have their own lives and their own build of family, they didnt threaten us or anything so we do the same thing to them as how nice the things they did to us so they have the rights, they are citizens like us too and their humans too.
Yes, as long as they are capable of raising a child and providing a good future for them.
@9CDVDVT11mos11MO
As long as both are financially capable and no criminal records
Yes. As long as, ANY COUPLES that would adopt a child should pass whether they are really capable.
Yes , as long as they explain to the child their relationship/family is different but unique.
@93JNSBR2yrs2Y
Yes, as long they are not pushing homosexuality agenda.
@8YL4VLNIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, adoption is to help the children to feel the care of a family. it's nothing to do with the parent's sexuality
No, I don't agree with same-sex couples and they have no right to adopt a child. The child will be ashamed of her/himself and get bullied every day.

Yes, gay couples should be have the rights to adopt children that straight couples can't stand it.
Yes, because it is a necessary means to lessen abortion cases based on financial uncapability and poor societal standing.
Yes, because it is provided in the SOGIE Bill.
@8NZZLT33yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they can afford to feed their child and buy the need of their child
For me, It's okay they have the rights to but what will the children that they adopt will say.
No, they breaking Anti - Sogie Bill act.
Depends if they can be good parents
it doesnt matter if you are a gay couple
Sure we do not control them on what they want
@AnimeUwU11KKK3yrs3Y
Yes, but they should be able to support and give love to the children they’re adopting
No, because God only allows the relationship between man and women, a females only for males and males only for females
@8LL4KPMDemocratic Front4yrs4Y
Yes, Because it is okay because they have the right thing to do that ,if they don't abuse some people and if they have good intention it's fine.
Yes, as long as they have proven they are capable of adopting
@8L246Z94yrs4Y
Yes, but for both straight and gay couples, the government should be more strict regarding the parents who know if they are horrible parents the child would be better of living as an orphan.
@8KYZBHD4yrs4Y
Although I am not against gay couples adopting, but isn't that prohibited by the bible?
@8CT2TZP4yrs4Y
THey should prioritize straight because most of the same sex couples do only crave for sexual purposes and it will lead to a trauma to the adopted child once they broke up
Yes as long as their background checks are clean they can adopt plus if they're capable to give their child a good life
@8CG3J8RDemocratic4yrs4Y
As long as they can fulfill the childs needs
@8C6KL4ZIndependent4yrs4Y
No, research studies show that heterosexual couples are better than homosexual couples to childrens' well-being and development.

No, each child has the natural right to experience and be raised within a mother and father family structure. However, adoption agencies should allow gay couples to adopt when they are found to be more capable of meeting the child's needs over any interested straight couples
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, each child has the natural right to experience and be raised within a mother and father family structure. Allow gay couples to adopt only when they are found to be more suitable to meet the child's needs over any interested straight couples

No, each child has the natural right to experience and be raised within a mother and father family structure. Gay couples should be allowed to adopt when they are found to be more capable of meeting an individual child's needs than all interested straight couples

@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, as I believe that each individual child has the natural right to experience and be raised within a mother and father family structure
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
No, and sem-sex (by birth) couples should not be able to adopt children, and neither should anyone else who is not a born-man and a born-woman who are married. (No single people, either)
@93VVP972yrs2Y
Yes, but allow religious agencies to refuse them
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, as I believe that each individual child has the natural right to be raised within and experience a mother and father family structure
@85Q8YH72yrs2Y
Adoption is child abandonment and should be banned.
