LGBT Adoption


                                                                                                              
                                                                                                               
                                                                   LGBT Adoption
          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-parent adoption), and adoption by a single LGBT person. Many individuals argue LGBT for religious 

and traditions. When gays and lesbians adopt a child it may affect the child's emotions, it may cause more gays and 

lesbians. When gay or lesbian get married they will feel happy because they are doing what they want, but this may affect 

the child emotions in three important ways. The child may feel rejected and isolated by other children, also he/she may feel 

inferior, too. And the other children may back away from the child.

          First, the child will feel rejected and isolated because gays are not a typical family like the ones they usual see in our daily life all around the world. In general, God created us to be a man with a woman and not a man with a man or 

woman with a woman. When the child has parents of the same sex, this will be strange for him/her when he grows and 

understands the marriage nature. Parents who adopt children do not know what this child’s reaction to this situation in 

the future. A lot of kids are grow up in LGBT families may feel inferior in the society because they do not have the normal 

parents they should have in most of the people’s eye.


          Second, the special needs that the child wants it from both mother and father. The child has his/her own needs; some of them are from the mother and some of them are from the father. The fathers of the child cannot take the mother's place, and the mothers of a child cannot take the father’s place. Mothers and fathers are both important, but they are complementary; each has a role to play. The child may need things he/she can only find it in his or her mother or father, but not in both of them. This child will feel empty inside and he/she might be raised as well as he/she could be because he/she lacks the support of a father, or the care and comfort of a mother.



          Third, Many countries around the world still reject the idea about being gay or lesbian, so the other children may back away from that child who raised by LGBT parents, thinking that he/she is gay/lesbian and this will make the child feel 

lost and abnormal, and it will destroy the child’s self-confidence. Sometimes the society's perception is unjust and 

unequal with this kind of kids, whether for personal reasons, traditions, or religious reasons. Here, the child feels that 

he/she is in the wrong place and that his/her parents are not like normal parents. What make a lot of people in the world 

against the thought of being gay or lesbian is usually religious reasons because the three major religions Islam, 

Christianity, and Judaism do not accept this. For that, many people raise their children to be away from gays or lesbians 

and even their children.

          In conclusion, children need a mother and a father in their lives to raise them and teach them the correct values, 

practical life, and even religion. The society misjudges the child in this type of adoption because people in general do not 

know the extent of the danger to his/her life or future and the negative results that would happen if the child is sensitive, 

and for that they have to aware people of being gay or lesbian.
