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.

I feel like they can adopt the child, as long as the child is aware of all the hate and judgement that may come with it.

No, mother father family structure is best for a child and adoption agenies should prioritize straight couples over gay couples

@9FL3GD72yrs2Y
Gay people are stopping the reproduction of a country, by making more people give up their right to make children. And i think this is inhuman and they should give up their right to make other children suffer, and ruin children's worldview and values.
yes as long as the couple is able to meet all required fields and is able to support the child

Adoption should require a background check for mental wellness.
