There's lots of controversy within the topic of LGBT adoption rights. As of June 26,2017 same-sex marriage adoption became legal in all 50 states. I don’t think there would necessarily be a problem with this but other people would disagree. I think a couple should be able to do what they want and it should be their choice. I would never be in this situation so it doesn’t have any affect on me. Unless there seems to strike a problem with adoption rights within LGBT, I think people should be able to do what they feel comfortable with. Couples should be able to have their own family too whether or not they’re LGBT or not. Everyone deserves to have a family if that’s the path they choose to take.
I do see where people are coming from about how having a mother and father is more stable for the child’s life because then they have a supporter of each whereas if you have two moms or dads it could mess with the child’s life stability. The child might not feel as supported because they don’t have a “dad” or “mom”. Other people argue that the couple may not be well enough to adopt children, people believe they should have to go through background checks before they can decide if they are eligible to adopt children.
Overall I think it should be up to the parents and the adoption agencies. It should be up to the parents if they can be stable enough to adopt a child(ren). I think it needs to be thought over more before they make a decision if it should be allowed for LGBT.

Good topic choice and well done overall! Be sure to inlcude a couple of questions so students have something more specific to reply to. Your summary could have been a tad longer as well. You could have inlcluded some stats about this issue along with some sources.
I really do not see the reason why they must have both a mother a father. As long as both the partners pass their background checks they should be able to. It is way better than being a foster his whole life.I have absolutely no problem letting the LGBTQ adopt a child.
I think there should be no reason that LGBtQ should be able to adopt a child.I dont see no promblem with that I dont understand that there should be rights that normal people can adopt but not LGBTQ people cant.
In my opinion, I don't think that there should be an issue with LGBTQ+ parents adopting children, there are so many children in adoption agencies and a lot associated with social workers, group homes, Foster care, etc. If the couple wanting to adopt are good people and are stable enough to care for a child or multiple children. Let them. Because why not get the children into loving homes, it doesn't really matter what their sexuality is.
I agree with you because many kids need homes and if it comes down to this then those people who are involved in it shouldn't be discriminated towards that because they want to start a family just like any other couple. It's not fair to let other people adopt because there straight and then the people in the LGBTQ community not able to do it.
I bellieve that adoption is an amazing thing, but the foster care system is horrible. It is shady. They need to definently need to improve on it. Adoption is the one place other then a surrogate for same-sex couples. Now, yes I understand that having the same-sex parents arent as stable for the child then mother and father in the home. I do think that adoption is great for same-sex couples.
I agree with you because the adoption process can be very hard and going through that as a child is very hard. The adoption agencies are no place for any kids and I think that if those parents can prove they can take care of the child then they should be able to take that child in as one of their own. It's so hard to see commercials and ads of adoption agencies and kids in them, it's so heartbreaking. I think anything we can do to have less kids in adoption places we should do anyhting.
I think that people in the LGBTQ comunity should be able to adopt and have a family. I dont understand why people think that it is a problem for a mom and a mom or a dad and a dad to raise a child they still have two parents and are in a safe enviroment.
I agree with you, I think everyone should be able to adopt a child if they so wish too. It shouldn't be decriminated towards them because they are different then other people who can adopt children. I think they should be able to adopt a child as logn as it's going to a safe environment. If they can love and care for the child it shouldn't matter.
I don't think any couple should be denied a child to adopt or take in foster care. It is ridiculous that anyone would be okay with this because not only is it homophobic, but it's also keeping kids from living in sustainable homes. A parent's sexuality has zero effect on a child, except for making them feel more normal. People don't actually care about the children, they just need an excuse to be homophobic.
