ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAST GAY ADOPTN

While every gay uple's adoptn procs is unique, there are some standard procr and steps every adoptive parent mt go through, and facts and rourc that n be helpful when nsirg adoptn. Gay upl n explore all avenu of adoptn, cludg foster re adoptn, tradnal adoptn, and ternatnal adoptns. In the past—and likely still today some areas of the untry—some gay upl have rorted to lyg about their stat so they uld adopt.

When a gay uple adopts, is mon for one partner to adopt and the send to then apply to the urt as a send parent or -parent.

Dpe the fact that gay adoptn grows more monplace every day, the road ahead may be difficult and filled wh obstacl, so make sure you're both on solid footg and sure about your cisn before you start the adoptn procs.

Civilized societi do not discrimate on grounds of race, creed, genr or sexualy, yet the nial of equal rights to gay upl is clear discrimatn. Gay adoptn is clearly an issue that is bt cid on a untry-by-untry basis, whout shg cizens more tradnal societi.

There is ample evince to show that gay upl n be jt as good at parentg as straight upl.

In fact, some believe homosexual upl on average tend to be better motivated and more mted than heterosexual parents, bee they always chose to have children – unlike the around 50 percent of straight uple who stumble to parenthood by accint. Many gay upl form relatnships that are more stable than many heterosexual marriag givg adopted children a secure, emotnally stable home. Given the shortage of suable straight upl, gay adoptn n provi kids the lovg hom they need.

There are now around 65, 000 children who have found hom thanks to gay adoptn legislatn the Uned Stat.

Yet we have to rpect the mocratic cisn of people who vote for policians and ernments that oppose gay adoptn. Children raised by gay upl may have different outlooks – surveys the US have shown they grow up more tolerant and open-md.

Liftg bans on gay marriage or gay adoptn are steps towards more diverse, more tolerant societi, where nobody fac discrimatn.
