Talk:Same-sex adoption/Archive 1

2123:(among other requirements) they be certified as single and "non-homosexual." It's surprising to me how sketchy the information on this page is; for instance, the only entry under "Asia" is for Israel. In looking through the prose sections, I notice that the article mostly seems to discuss the areas where different permutations of LGBT adoption are legal and, where applicable, how they came to be legal if they were previously explicitly prohibited. It would be helpful to the user, I believe, if there were more information filled in about the current state of things in a wider variety of countries, perhaps partly through referring the user to articles on laws regarding LGBT issues in different countries or regions (I know Uganda, for instance, has had major movement toward a death penalty for homosexuality, which would of course be mutually exclusive with permitting adoption by LGBT couples or individuals). While I'm aware of the 1440:, who was expelled from the American Psychological Association for unethical research practices. Anti-LGBT organizations have misrepresented the findings of other studies by comparing the rates at which gay men are victimized by their male partners to the rates at which straight men are victimized by their FEMALE partners. By comparing these two statistics, they can claim that the rate of domestic violence is higher among gay male couples. As more ethical researchers point out, the majority of domestic violence is perpetrated by men, so the more accurate comparison would be to compare the rate at which gay men are victimized to the rate at which straight women are victimized. When you do so, the rates are roughly equivalent. Studies by researchers other than Paul Cameron show lower domestic violence rates in lesbian relationships than in heterosexual or gay male relationships. 1975:

to mentioned in the intro at all but as it seems it's a large piece of the article, then Wiki standards say it should be there. However, this line "although debates in many jurisdiction take place to allow it" (which is part of the full sentence "Adoption by same-sex couples is however prohibited by a majority of countries, although debates in many jurisdiction take place to allow it.") needs to go. I would fix it myself, however, I'm not sure whether the editor who wrote it meant "currently

they were actually more likely to adopt younger children than any other group, not older). As far as the HIV and behavior problem thing goes, well, I'm not quite sure where they were drawing that from. Maybe they were just trying to come up with a few examples, not realizing that what they were saying wasn't supported by the study. I always could have missed something, though, so someone might want to give the study one last look before deleting the errors from the article entirely. —

operate rather than be forced to do something that is contrary to their faith. I understand that the catholic church is not against a single gay person adopting a child but is against same sex couples adopting. What I do not understand is why the church has this stance. Does anyone understand the theological argument? I hear the argument that "same sex parenting falls short of perfection", but then surely so should being raised by a single parent fall short.

641:. The Ministry of Justice is currently debating this issue and they are proposing to allow the step-child adoption (Jan-Feb. 2008). The most important issues are to avoid possible violations of paternity rights and the fact that many Finnish laws are written so that they link legal parenthood to maternity and paternity, so that a gay adoption law would require special additional provisions for mother's or father's same-sex partners and their rights. 31: 2832:"same-sex couples can provide good conditions to raise a child" references "Same-sex parenting and children’s outcomes: A closer examination of the American Psychological Association’s brief on lesbian and gay parenting", which concludes that the current research does not give a definitive answer yes or no. It should not be referenced at all by this sentence. In fact, the article points to a lot of evidence which shows the contrary. — 1593:"There is a substantial body of research on parents who have chosen to raise biologically unrelated children rather than remain childless. These studies show that such parents are at least as competent as parents raising their biological children; indeed, many studies show that these parents are more competent or committed in some respects." 2196:. I will thus take out Portugal. The reason I intervened in the first place was that the table gave a "yes" for all columns for Portugal which went too far even based on the bill approved in first reading. Once the law is adopted, though, it is important to not again suggest that full joint adoption is possible in Portugal. 2500:, which is really the Governor trumpeting the impact of the ruling in his state. In every state, all the decisions establish equal treatment across the board. You can find some stories that discuss exceptions, but those stories tend to discuss the need to alter forms and educate staff, not any serious legal question. 1396:

prohibits couples who are cohabiting outside of marriage from adopting, regardless of sexual orientation. Because gay and lesbian couples cannot marry in Arkansas, this is a de facto ban on adoption by same-sex couples who live together, but single gay men or lesbians who live by themselves are eligible to adopt.

2353:

oversee their case? or that there are laws or standards providing for LGBT adoption? If the light pink is to have any meaning, we need to be clear what that meaning is. The description in this article currently says "LGBT individuals explicitly allowed", which it seems would exclude the Philippines. —

which have succeeded in legalizing same-sex adoption. How about: "Full joint adoption by same-sex couples is legal nationwide in 14 countries, and in parts of Australia, Mexico, and the US. It is prohibited by a majority of countries. Both where legal and where not, it is often a controversial issue."--

2416:

According to Vietnam's adoption laws (part 8/3), single person (as Same-sex couple are not recognized as a married couple) is allowed to adopt child. The law do not have any sentences to deny LGBT person to adopt child. In fact, I know at least 2 transgender singers have adopted child (Cindy Thai Tai

1974:

Rather shocked by the glaring errors in the intro of what is surely a somewhat high-profile article. I corrected some as best I could without changing too much but as the article is semi-protected I'm worried about making things worse. IMO the reason people are opposed to LGBT adoption doesn't need

938:

The link is referenced in the section "Legal Status Around the World" after the sentence: "A petition for rejecting gay adoption law outright or allowing it in very restricted form is here." The paragraph from which both the sentence and the link come from goes very in-depth about gay adoption rights

564:

Does the case ruling in France mean that gay adoption is universally allowed, or was it an isolated case. The way the text goes makes it seem like the former, but I just wanted to see if anyone on here knew exactly. I plan to research it myself just to be sure. If it's the former, then the map should

in those places even if there is no national law legalizing it for the entire country." These are 2 very different things so I don't know how to correct the grammatical (and related) errors without knowing the context. Perhaps another editor who has been working on this article knows or can figure

1008:

The Church takes the position that homosexuality is not a sin per se. It is the act of engaging in a homosexual relationship that is sinful. Thus, the Church sees nothing sinful if a single person happens to be gay; that person cannot be denied the Sacraments. This seems to extend to the adoption

2007:

I'm not sure what was originally intended (or what the series of edits leading to this version were), but I would suggest both readings are correct. There are ongoing movements in countries (and, in federal states, in states & provinces) in favour of allowing same-sex couples to adopt, some of

1930:

Firstly there is the issue of why "ambiguous" and "opposed" are lumped into the same color. This seems likely to create an inaccurate impression. Then we have the question of whether the map is showing states where people who participate in gay sexual activity can adopt children or is showing where

1693:

This article discusses LGBT adoption in general, but the title refers only to adoption by couples, excluding single parents and households with more than two partners (and appearing to include adoption by same-sex pairs who aren't gay, such as siblings who become co-guardians of a child). I propose

1419:

Viciouslies...you amended the article to point out that the greater prevalence of domestic violence is alleged. Personally, I am not aware of any studies in this area, but I am sure you are correct and, if so, I completely agree the article should be modified. The only problem is that the current

1349:

I plan to remove this paragraph because it isn't adding anything. It comes off defensively, like an attempt find some positive aspect of LGBT adoption in the face of the proceeding paragraph. If that is its aim then a) it POV and b) there surely must be something better than money to justify LGBT

709:

I propose that this section should stand on its own, rather than serve as a summary of a LGBT parenting article which may be irrelevant. Currently, this section refers to the main article on LGBT parenting, yet the controversy is about adopting children not parenting them. There is a difference.

455:

My best guess would be that somebody misunderstood the information presented in Table 7 on page 12. While it does indicate that they're slightly more likely to adopt children with disabilities, it looks to me like they misread the part about the ages of adopted children (I believe the study showed

2689:

Did you go to the references section? The references aren't there. You need to go to the section of the text (in this case the table) where the footnotes have been inserted (i.e. not where the footnotes themselves are, but where the numbers in the text are, from where you can go to the footnotes).

2468:

I think we really need citations for the US states which have recently been added to the list of those allowing joint adoption - Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Same-sex marriage has been legalised by court order in

I've added Slovenia, having finally found a good on-line source for the relevant decision (see footnote in the article, page 199 of the linked document). As a matter of fact, I've also found a reference to it in a country report on Slovenia in a German family law publication (not on-line), so it's

1650:

Nevertheless, I will try to respond in a civil tone. My last edit took the article you added to the article and included critical details specific to adoption: 1) that there are a limited number of studies on adoption, a fact recognized by the article and 2) its limitations as identified by the

984:

The subject of gay adoption is a an issue in the UK right now as the government is attempting to pass into law new legislation banning discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. Catholic adoption agencies are seeking an exemption on faith grounds, and furthermore have said they will cease to

915:

Looking at the Europe map, shouldn't the "Gay adoptiop illegal" legend now be removed? It seems to me that not a single European country forbids gay adoption, so this criterion is now obsolete. Either it should be removed, or (a better choice), the map should now be changed to include gay adoption

175:

The name Gay Adoption is ambiguous, All of the article (other than the first para.) is about the legal status of adoptions by same-sex couples; as such, I'd like to change the title and most of the references to "Adoption by same-sex couples," which would be a more accurate characterization of the

148:

Why is this article labeled as disputed? Is it because people are concerned that some of the legal information is incorrect? I just wanted to make sure that it isn't marked as disputed because there are people who think that LGBT people can't be good parents, which is irrelevant to a discussion of

1796:

Of course, all the above is theoretical and discrimination is still a problem in that country. Though the National Constitution guarantees that "every person has the right to the free expression of her or his personality, to creativity and to the formation of her or his own identity and image", a

Despite what the reverters seem to think, I was not joking, and I was not trying to be offensive. If you look at my userboxes on my userpage, you will see that I favor legalizing gay marriages. And if you look at the list of articles that I started on my userpage, you will see that I love writing

575:

The case allowing step-child adoption is totally isolated, because the Court of Cassation has rejected it. What remains is the possibility, under certain circumstances, to share parental responsibility - including custody rights - between a legal parent and their partner. If such a judgement is

1395:

The paragraph relating to the Act 1 adoption ban in Arkansas had this lead in sentence: "Until recently, Florida was the only state with an outright ban on adoption by gay parents." I have deleted it because Florida is still the only state with an outright ban on adoption by gay parents. Act 1

92:

Also, I noticed that in the article it says "Adoption by same-sex couples is legal in . . . England and Wales . . .", and above somebody has commented "In Scotland, the question is under consideration. In Northern Ireland, nothing seems to be going on.". In the figure both places are coloured in

1910:

in the section about Europe there is a map which is sayin for example gay people allow to adopt but other countries that are marked gray allow gay people to adopt like Ireland and Poland just not joint adoption but single gay ppl adoption.I think map should be changed to include countries where

1870:

Not sure that I need to go into where babies come from here. But it seems to be that for LGBT, there is a fair amount of overlap between parenting and adoption, until they perfect cloning. 50% overlap at least. For male LGBT adoption, the overlap ought to be pretty close to 100% unless there is

1782:

As noted in the case of Paraguay, sexual orientation or expression is no legal issue there if the person will adopt as a single parent. That includes cases of transgender people, which in that country are not legally recognized as such and are regarded according to the sex stated in their birth

2352:

I almost added it to the map, then thought better of it. What should that color represent? Just that no-one has bothered to codify the fact that known gays are prevented from adopting? that gays may or may not be allowed to adopt, at the whim of the social worker or official that happens to

2519:

One thing, however, I will not believe is that this Court will allow thousands of couples nationwide to celebrate marriages, change names, jointly adopt children, become legally one family—and then, in an opinion later in the term, baldly announce that their marriages are in jeopardy or even

1821:

Both the text relating to Florida and the image for North America need to be updated regarding today's appellate ruling. The unconstitutional nature of Florida's ban on gay adoption has been affirmed, the state does not intend to appeal at this time, and Governor Charlie Crist has issued an

Hey everyone. I'm trying to add info to references that have urls and/or dead links, but I'm not able to. I'm looking specifically at references 40-61, the references for tables. When I went to edit the section, it's like the tables don't even exist. Could someone help with that? Thanks!

adoption agencies, comprising around a third of the voluntary sector, have said they will shut if forced to comply with new government legislation requiring them to enlist same-sex couples as potential adoptive parents. The government announced they will have to obey the law, although MP

408:

New Hampshire's civil union law extends the rights of married people to people in civil unions. Shouldn't the chart entitled "US States’ laws on adoption by same-sex couples" list New Hampshire as extending the right to couples in civil unions (though not necessarily other LGBT couples)?

1435:

I will look for a simple reference, but I have to say that the research is sparse and misrepresentation by anti-LGBT organizations is fairly complicated. First, the only "conclusive" studies showing that domestic violence is more prevalent among same-sex couples were conducted by

case. While that case is being appealed, adoptions by gay and lesbian people are still prohibited, so it is inaccurate to say that they are allowed. Further, the cited article regarding Florida being required to respect second-parent adoptions was about second-parent adoptions

1645:

Destinero, in his last edit to the LGBT adoption article said, "editors can't make up interpretations of sources, stick strickly to the highly reliable sources and do not add bullshit." This use of profanity is in addition to his calling me "incompetent," above.

I tried to sort the summary laws alphabetically, but it was changed because it was considered vandalism. Can someone sort it, Europe and USA are already sorted alphabetically, if I can't maybe someone who is a regular user and have permissions may edit it.

It seems like it was added a while ago. The History log doesn't show it being added recently. However, it is poorly written and also poorly referenced which may be part of the problem. (Legal sections should have tons of references available and

I'll try to find some source that summarizes this. Failing that, perhaps I should just cite some of the studies that come to the opposite conclusion (that domestic violence is NOT more prevalent in LGBT relationships) and leave it at that.

1197:

Hello Grundle, I see your point. However, I think the problem is that the term adoption, as used here, is a legal act, an institution to change the legal parents of children. So two animals who go around stealing eggs doesn't qualify as

958:"Controversy" or "scandal" sections are discouraged - they imply a POV and poorly written article. I tried a simple renaming to "Societal concerns" but that wasn't apprepriated. Any ideas what could work so we can improve that section? 254:

I would also like to raise the issue of including transgender in LGBT because the article does not discuss these issues. I deleted "T" from the US paragraph because it does not address legal issues that transgender parents face.

2059: 880:

I missed that a sentence had been moved. The bit about the culture war should not, I think, merely say "with objections based on". This makes them sound disembodied, and therefore more objective than "some object because of".

If you are incopetent to see references on the page 19-27 written by most eminent development psychologist on the field in the world then do not edit encyclopedia end Knowledge because it requires some elementary abilities.

I think especially the map of Europe should be updated to show countries that allow single gay person to adopt (Poland, Ireland, Estonia,Croatia, Bulgaria, Portugal and maybe more).I think its very important subject.

389:, the law that was previously cited preventing joint couple adoptions has since been overturned, and there are now no explicit prohibitions against same-sex couples adopting. I've changed the chart accordingly. — 895:

Well I'm not strong on this point. If you want to edit to say "some object because of," okay with me. But I question your intent. It sure sounds like you are trying to make these people less credible, less

370:

I see the article title has been changed, but the maps read "gay adoption." Could this be changed to something like "same-sex adoption"? I know this is much longer and less practical, but it's more accurate.

849:

Are existing LGBT parents controversal? Maybe it upsets people, but I've never heard someone say we should remove kids from an LGBT parent. Let me know whether you still think this fits in the controversy

710:

As an example of the problem this causes: while studies may prove that LGBT's have successfully parented their own natural children this does not prove they are equally prepared to parent adopted children.

1521:

Destinero has added three paragraphs at the end of the Debate section that concern LGBT parenting rather than adoption. These ideas are already covered in the LGBT parenting article which is Wiki-linked

Then perhaps you should take it upon yourself to work on improving the article yourself :) - that is the Wiki way. If you think you can change it for the better, click on "edit this page" and have at it.

It turns out that most LGBT people are biologically capable of reproducing, and some do. As such, they get to be parents without ever adopting.
