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 adoption centres must prioritise a heterosexual couple over a homosexual couple, if their backgrounds are similar
@9FGTMQL7mos7MO
The government should not interfere in private issues
@964CXQJ2yrs2Y
yes, but i have no knowledge of same sex couple parenting impacts on child so cant be firm on my answer
@947W2VT2yrs2Y
You shouldn't even need to be a couple to adopt.
@8QM45YL3yrs3Y
Yes, and the government should provide incentives to same sex couples who adopt as statistics show that they have a tendency to adopt children with special needs
@8QB7MF83yrs3Y
They can have same adoption rights only when society accepts them the same way as a regular couple
