As the debate over same sex marriages continues, another debate has begun. That is the debate over the ability of a same sex couple to adopt a child, since conceiving a child through the union is not possible. Many say that with the number of children in the word, adoption by same sex couples should not be questioned. Others say that a child who is already disadvantaged should not have additional issues put upon them due to the same sex mom and dad that they have.
In the legal field, there is also much debate. Only a few states have laws that specifically make it illegal for a gay couple to adopt a child, but the law does not state that same sex couples cannot adopt. It simple excludes them by saying unmarried people cannot adopt, which includes the same sex couples as their marriages are not currently recognized. Florida appears to be the only state in which a law has been written specially listing same sex couples as banned from the adoption system. Many states have knowingly allowed adoption by a same sex couple in certain situations, although the process is completed using a single person adoption.
Approximately 10% of the population in the United States are gay or lesbian people. Many are involved in relationships with same sex partner. While they cannot legally be bound by marriage, they are considered life partners. The debate over same sex marriages rages on while the new debate of same sex adoption is just beginning.
Because the laws are not clear on this topic, it is difficult to determine if the process is actually prohibited. The legal statutes are not clear on whether the constitution rights of the couples are being violated by banning this type of adoption. It is a very tricky situation to work through. Many couples choose to find other options rather than fight the system. Even if they are granted approval to carry out the adoption they still find themselves facing many barriers within the system due to their status as a same sex couple or even a gay or lesbian person.
In the states allowing single parent adoption, it is much easier for a homosexual couple to adopt a child. However, should the couple separate one of the parents will not have any rights to the child. This can cause even more problems in the future.
