Parents for election

What do you think about adoption? Are you in favour? Are you against?

Just think about that some moments, then answer. I think that adoption is one of the greatest humanitarian and lovely acts that a person or couple could do. So amazing to think that these people are giving the possibility to a child or children to have a family conformed through love and not only a genetic bond. I am almost sure that, as a reader, wish the same I do: the happiness of those vulnerable children. So amazing as it may seem there are some people who are against the adoption. They are not against the adoption in itself, but against the adoption made by a gay couple.

Such unfavourable the prejudices are that society is not able to see what is beyond the “gay thing”. Considering the great numbers generated by statistics, I think that the sexual election of the person who adopts these children should not be the important fact, but instead who the adoptive father/mother is and how responsible this person is. That means that we as society should be worried about heterosexual people who decide to adopt children and once they have them under their custody, they do not take care of these poor kids. That is when children’s rights should be of paramount importance. We have to open our mind to this new type of family. We should be able to see that love is love regardless of the sexual election of each person, it does not matter who conforms the couple at the end they just longing for the same that any other couple: to form a family through love.

What is wrong if two people want to form a family? Some people may argue that the fact that these people have a different sexual orientation may lead to these kids being also gay. Such a lie! They also state that gay people are not able to have a baby since God is punishing them because of their sexual election.   Some years ago in Cordoba a gay woman adopted four children who were abandoned by their biological mother. She raised and educated them. When these children were consulted about the role that this lady had in their lives, they only said that she was their mother. None of them seemed worried about her sexual orientation; none of them paid attention to what she has decided. They only noticed that she took care of them when their real, biological and heterosexual mother did not.

I assume that at this point, after knowing about this story, it is worthless to keep adding words to this topic. It seems obvious, at least to me, that adoption is the most generous act that people can do regardless of their sex or sexual orientation. A family is made up of love and love is love.
