GAY ADOPTION final version

Nowadays, many gay copules want to have children and that is why they try to adopt chidren.  adoption is a legal process by which a person becomes a legal member of a family different from that he was born, however  there are advantages and disadvantages to gay adoption.

One the one hand , adoption allows gay couples to  have children since they can’t have them naturally and therefore  these couples can have children as the other couples. In addition , adopted children can have a better life with more resources that his real parents couldn’t provide.

One the other hand, gay adoption has negative aspects since adoption processes  are very long because they can last up to 8-9 years . Furthermore, there are countries that don’t  recognize gay marriage and this means that gay couples can’t adopt because one of the requirements of adoption is to have a stable family  and finally there are people who take advantage of adoption to show their social status,  that is, to imitate the fashion artists, who search more extravagant adoptions .

In conclusion, gay adoption has advantages and disadvantages .In my opinion, all people have the same rights whatever their sexual orientation, culture or religion .

Gay adoption C2

Nowadays homosexuality is a reality accepted only by a few countries, in spite of having a lot of homosexuals around the world who are politicians, doctors, etc. Even so in some of the countries which accept homosexuality, gay adoption is not accepted. Although the kid adopted could have the best parents of the world, it isn’t accepted because they’re gays. In this topic we can find some arguments for and against.

On the one hand, people who are against gay adoption argue that a kid needs a mother and a father, and this kid will not be able to be a normal person. Also, they say the gay relationship doesn’t last very long, and if gays adopt a kid, this kid will be gay as well. Finally, they say if a kid is adopted in an area where gays are not accepted, the kid will be outcast.

On the other hand, people who think that gay adoptions would be legal say that a kid can get a personality development totally normal having two fathers or two mothers. Also, who is adopted by two parents is going to learn a higher diversity of options. Although the kid who grows up with two parents of the same sex, he will be able to decide to be heterosexual or homosexual, the parents don’t force him to be gay, when the kid develops he decides to be gay or not. The influence that the kid receives from his parents is less high that the influence from the society, so have got gay parents is not an inconvenient for his development.

In conclusion I think that gays can adopt kids. It’s easy to explain: gays are humans, all the humans have got  the right of having sons or adopt one, ergo they can adopt a kid. If Catholics say that gay adoption is against the word of God, it doesn’t matter. The bible doesn’t say anything about gay adoption. I believe that if two persons of the same sex love each other they can have a kid.

GAY ADOPTION C2

For a long time, homosexuals have been discriminated and excluded from society, but over time and with the modernization of society, they have managed in a lot of countries to have the same rights as any other citizens, including the right to adopt a baby.

But not everyone is in favour of gay adoption and this has caused big debates between citizens in favour and against.

On the one hand, whose are in favour of gay adoption think that gay couples as any heterosexual couple, deserve to form a family and be happy, and because of this, they should be allowed to adopt a baby without problems. They also say  that there is nothing wrong having parents of the same sex because the most important thing is that parents are good people and love their child.

On the other hand, whose are against of gay adoption state that  the society in which we live, sexual discrimination is still an important matter, so a child with homosexual parents could be marginalized and discriminated, therefore this might affect his life and his development too, making this totally unnecessary, hence they consider to be much better to avoid this situation.

On balance, my opinion is that a lot of children are marginalized by their classmates during their childhood and not only the child with homosexual parents. Therefore, I think it is more important to have good parents with high values capable to educate children and reinforce their character, so when they grow up they can defend themselves.

Gay adoption (final version)

Nowadays, there are more gay couples who want to be a family. But for biological reasons they can’t have children, so they ask for help in adoption. But, does everybody accept it?

On the one hand, some people say that children with homosexual parents may suffer when they are older: depression, drugaddiction, suicide and gay bullying, which are caused by the lack of a paternal or maternal model. Also, they explain that these children can become gay when they are older.

On the other hand, some people and the scientific community explain that these children grow up as other children with heterosexual parents and there isn’t a connection between the sexual orientation of parents and children.

In my opinion, children have to grow up with love, compassion and tolerance. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if   they do it with gay or a heterosexual couples.

GAY ADOPTION (FINAL VERSION)

These days homosexuality has become a reality: the number of gay couples is increasing. In addition, many of them are interested in raising a family and, for this reason, in adopting a child. Consequently, this topic is causing a great debate amongst many people and they give arguments for and against. 

People supporting the gay adoption say that lots of children who have neither a mother nor a father need a family to grow up  and gay couples can adopt and look after a child as heterosexual couples, because the most important thing of adoption is giving children a home and someone to love them. Moreover, they claim that not only the parents but also the society influence a child's behaviour. So, the upbringing of gay couples' children doesn't have to be different to children who have a mother and a father. 

Those who oppose this issue say that the children might be socially stigmatized because of having gay parents and their classmates will probably make fun of them. Furthermore, others believe that homosexual relationships don't last very long and this could be bad for children, who need a stable family. They also think gay upbringing is unnatural and consequently, children could become gay when they grow up because they have this example instiled. 

To conclude I would say that I'm in favour of gay adoption and instead of looking for excuses about gay couples because this is opposite to their ideas, what people should do is try to see what's important here: lots of children without a home have the opportunity to have one and to be educated by a family who will love them.

Gay adoption (final version)

In the past homosexuality was considered a mental desease, but now it's known that it's not true. Nowadays they have more rights, like getting married, but they are not allowed to adopt in many countries.

On the one hand, there are people who think that they should be allowed to adopt because doing this, a lot of children will have the chance to grow up with a family. Moreover, children who are adopted by a gay couple have the same chances of success and failure as other children. Furthermore, it's a way of including them ( homosexuals) in society.

On the other hand, there are people against gay adoption because they think that children should have a father and a mother, instead of two fathers or two mothers. Another strong reason against gay adoption is that children adopted by a gay couple could suffer bullying. Besides, some people believe that children are more likely to be homosexual.

In conclusion, I support gay adoption because I think that it's better to have two fathers or two mothers than nothing. Moreover, if it were legal in all the countries, a lot of children would be given a home.

Gay adoption (FINAL VERSION)

Nowadays  gay couples are more accepted than before in our society. Many years ago they were considered not to be recognized by the Church, law and by their own families.

On the one hand, adoption is difficult for any couple, and even more if you are gay. Gay couples can give children the same love, security, education and stability as a couple with a father and a mother. It's better than a one parent family. There are many many children who need to be adopted, does it matter what their ideologies are?

On the other hand, having one sex parents could give the child a wrong impression of what a mum and dad family is. In many countries in the world, as in Spain, adoption for gay couples is banned for religious reasons. The possibility that children with gay parents suffer bullying at school is very high because  society in general doesn't accept this kind of couples.

To sum up, there are many things in favor and many against gay adoption. I think that gay couples should be able to adopt, because they have the same right  and they will give them the same love and stability as a straight couple.
