This article shows many things. One of those many things are that gay adoption is allowed in many parts of the world. This shows that if it is allowed in other countries, it should be allowed in this country, The United States of America. In Germany they allowed gay adoption under a technicality. However, I believe that any allowance is and allowance, weather technical or not. We should all be able to adopt, not only in The United States of America, but in the entire world, with no acceptations. America should take some tips from other countries. So what do you think? Should everyone be allowed to adopt?

Wordle

In my Wordle I used words that pertained to gay adoption. I used words like LGBTQ, which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer. I also used words like Adoption and Child to show what these people are trying to accomplish. I used Rights and Equal to show the LGBTQ community is deprived of. I used Bans and Laws to show that other people are against them. I used Heterosexual and Straight to show who they are adopting from, and who mostly are against them. I used words like Foster and Homes to show where these children are who are deprived of a family.

The pie chart shows the percentage of same-sex couples in America who have children in their households.  Only 16% of couples have a child in their home. That is just a fraction of the gay or lesbian population. The main reason that this number is so small is because most states do not allow a same-sex couple to adopt a child. While most people believe it is the adoption agency who doesn’t allow gays or lesbians to adopt, it is actually more in the adoptive mother’s hands. Especially in the south, the mother that is giving her child up for adoption does not think that a same-sex couple is suitable to care for a baby. The other part of the chart is those who do not have children. 84% do not have children. However, it is not said if they want children, but a large amount do. Most same-sex couple cannot do so because they live in very religious areas, like South Carolina. In places like that it is not social acceptable for there to be a same-sex couple in the first place, let alone get married and adopt a child.
