Adoption in Same-Sex Couples
Introduction
Same-sex couples in the U.S. have faced and are still facing tribulations in their quest for happiness and the creation of a family. Currently, the LGBT community has crossed the first bridge, which is the legalization of same-sex marriage in all 50 states. However, issues of adoption bar their quest for family completion. The adoption process in same-sex couples is more stringent as compared to that of heterosexual couples. This a silent controversial issue and has to be dealt with

The trials and tribulations I have faced and fought through, before and after adoption have shaped me
into a compassionate, creative, and well rounded woman.
The environment I grew up in before I was adopted consisted of young and unreliable parents and heavily unstable living situations. During this time in my life, I learned very early on to take care of myself and received a bitter taste of the real world. My parents, never home and irresponsible, are the reason why I grew up without necessities. Learning to fend for myself and make do with what little we had, did nothing to change the fact that my siblings and I were malnourished and underdeveloped. Surrounded by the struggle of

Adoption is defined as the “process of providing parents for children and children for families when birth parents are unwilling or unable to care for their child or children.” Adoption has been practiced throughout history. Lately adoption has been used to solve many problems the children or children’s guardians are in. Adoption had only begun from 1941 and by 1970; 175000 children were adopted in the United States.

The Challenges Inherent In Same-Sex Adoption
What if the government did not allow people to have any children, based on what they do
and do not like? This may sound absolutely ridiculous. Think about it this way; if someone
wanted a child but they did not like chocolate, bacon, pizza, or even cheeseburgers, they could
not have a child of their own. For quite a few reasons same-sex adoption continues to endure
hate, therefore, many same-sex couples could not adopt children. Only one question remains,
would they rather have no parents, straight parents who do not love them, or same-sex parents
that do love them? Assuming

According to the ASPCA, every year, approximately 3.3 million dogs enter animal shelters across the United States. Of those, approximately 670,000 dogs are euthanized because of aggression, health issues, or overpopulation. Pet overpopulation is a serious problem in the United States. Overpopulation leaves shelters overcrowded and overwhelmed which leads to euthanasia. Dogs in shelters are often euthanized because of lack of space, resources, or interest in adoption. While adopting a dog from a shelter that has health issues or aggressions is not ideal, buying from a breeder does not address the problem of what breeding dogs does to the existing overpopulation problem. Many potential owners want

Following Washington years later was the third president, Jefferson. The first few presidents of the United States contributed to establish a stable government after the adoption of the Constitution.

One such series of affairs started out through the Hamilton's Fiscal Plan. Because of the Fiscal Plan, which was made to stabilize the economy, was the reason for the Whiskey

Calpurnia p. 153
“Don’t you fret too much over Mister Jem—“
Don’t pay Jem any mind.
(Interpreting the quote)
Scout p. 153
“Mister Jem?”
Scout doesn’t think that Jem deserves to have the title of Mister since he’s only four years her senior. She’s probably confused by the level of respect that Calpurnia gives to Jem who is still a boy in Scout’s eyes.

The ability to build a family with the person one loves is a blessing. The possibility of this actually happening for some individuals is merely a dream. There are many loving children who dream of the same; to one day have a family of their own. The amount of children waiting for adoption in Florida increases by the day, yet so does the number of qualified parents that have been rejected due to their sexual orientation. In Florida, there is a law that forbids homosexuals from adopting children. This policy is unconstitutional and disagrees with the majority of our nations policies. Because the problem of equal adoption rights for gay/lesbian individuals is so widespread in the United

All orphaned children need someone, and this is their paramount need: at risk of death due to unclean water or malnutrition, at risk of death due to insufficient or no shelter, at risk of having no education or no economic opportunity, at risk of disease, even death by preventable disease, at greater risk of sex trafficking, at risk of being conscripted as child soldiers, at risk of being conscripted for child labor; and lastly students can choose intercountry adoption because it is almost always a

. If abortion is made illegal, they will have no choice but to give up their lives for their babies. Teen pregnancy is one problem that cannot be solved by making abortion illegal.Many people argue that there are alternatives to abortion like adoption. Many mothers give up their children in an attempt to regain their "normal" lives. Imagine what the life of those children will be like. Some of them will be tossed around from foster home to foster home. Many don't even get adopted. They go through life thinking that their parents abandoned them. I believe that adoption just allows the parents to pass on their responsibilities to other people instead of taking responsibility

It can also occur if the male has an insufficient amount of sperm, if their veins on their penis are above average, if their sperm is damaged from an accident, or if their sperm is oddly shaped. Infertility can be treated so that couples are capable of becoming pregnant, but in cases where treatment is out of the question, they must adopt in order to attain parenthood. Due to the fact that not every person can become pregnant, people should place their babies up for adoption rather than aborting them. Around 135,000 children from the United States are adopted annually and sometimes it

I believe that gay couples should be allowed to adopt children. Sexual preference has nothing to do with how well a person or a couple can raise a child. The foster care and adoption systems of today are overloaded with children in need of a home. Adoption is a gift to couples that cannot have children of their own, or for couples that choose to take in children who need homes. Thus Gay couples should be allowed to adopt children and provide them in a loving home if that is what the couple wishes to do. Gay couples are as capable if not more, to raise children in a loving caring house hold. It is extremely important for children to grow up in stable and loving environments. In a

are there are many risks associated with abortion, there are other options rather than getting an abortion and abortion is murder.First, there are other choices instead of getting an abortion. A mother can choose from abstinence, having the baby and putting it up for adoption, or having the baby and letting others take care of it. The first and most effective option is not to have sex. By keeping oneself sexually inactive, a teen does not have to deal with being a mother this early in her life. The second option is to have the baby and let others care for it.

to get pregnant they are old enough to have the child. Some pro-life activists think that even if you have to put the baby up for adoption later you should still have it. Although some of the reasoning that pro-life activist use, might seem a little ridiculous at times many of the activist aren't able to have children or are just trying to defend a baby that can't defend it self. The pro's of pro-life are that the baby gets a chance to live and experience life outside of the womb and maybe someone who is unable to have children will get the chance to be a mother or father if they adopt this child who would have been aborted.

When owning a cat or dog, the person must know that both animals cost at least some money. Animals or pets are not free and may not be cheap either. In general, a dog is going to be more expensive than a cat. Even from the beginning, a dog's adoption fee is more expensive than a cat's. A dog's adoption fee can range from fifty dollars to four hundred dollars. A cat's adoption fee can range from fifty dollars to only one hundred dollars. After you adopt the animal, you have to think about food costs. Averagely, a dog will eat a bowl of food twice a day, compared to a cat, which could take a week to eat one bowl full. You will also need supplies for each pet, which
