Preferred term

gay and lesbian adoption  

Definition

  • Some people see the adoption of children by gay men or lesbians as a threat to the social fabric of society, whereas others view it as an appropriate placement resource for children awaiting an adoptive family. With more than 500,000 children in the nation's foster care system and 100,000 of them needing adoptive homes, the need for such homes has never been greater. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Adoption, Gay and Lesbian]
