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-child adoption) and adoption by a single LGBT person. Joint adoption by same-sex couples is legal in 25 countries. Opponents of LGBT adoption question whether same-sex couples have the ability to be adequate parents while other opponents question whether natural law implies that children of adoption possess a natural right to be raised by heterosexual parents. Since constitutions and statutes usually fail to address the adoption rights of LGBT persons, judicial decisions often determine whether they can serve as parents either individually or as couples.

Yes, but the child should be able to deny it.
they should never because that will ruin the kid's life
No. It’s more on the metal state of the child adopted because of mostly bullying.
it doesn't really matter to me
Nobody should be aloud to abort a baby.
Mental stability should be the priority, psychological evaluations should be essential before adoption
Yes. More actually, because lgbtq parents may be more supportive and understanding of the Childs thoughts and decisions.
yes, as long as the environment is safe enough for the children, exactly how it is with other couples that have a save environment
The idea of gay couples would be restricted in Canada so there would be no gay people to give rights to.
