There are many arguments made in order to promote the banning of homosexual adoption. In general, the abilities of gay parents are questioned. These abilities of same-sexed parents have been proven to be no less than those of heterosexuals. According to evidence from the ACLU, homosexual parents are no less capable of parenting then a straight couple and their sexual orientation will not harm the children they raise in any way. The APA did not find any evidence suggesting that the children of gay men or of lesbians are in any way disadvantaged when compared to children from heterosexual homes. Although there is some evidence that the daughters of lesbian mothers are more likely to act promiscuously with other females, it has not been proven that gay or lesbian parents influence homosexual behavior on their children (American Civil Liberties Union, sec. 2). Also, for those who support gay rights, the influencing of such an ‘alternative lifestyle’ is not looked down upon.

On account of the preceding evidence, homosexuals should be considered to adopt. The impact that government officials have on society’s image of homosexuals is very overpowering and only adds to the prevention of gay adoption. In the adoption process, people are chosen to be selected as parents while keeping in mind the best interest of the child. The best interests of the children should be to provide a stable home with caring parental figures and a promising future. For this reason, the ACLU believes that “adoption decisions should be made by parents and professionals, not by politicians and the government” (American Civil Liberties Union). Because gays and lesbians, as well as heterosexuals, can provide the necessities for these children, all people, no matter their sexual orientation, should be considered and evaluated equally in the adoption process. While gays and lesbians are recognized as foster parents throughout the nation, many of these able parents are denied the rights to legally be considered as parents, simply because they are homosexual.

Rosie has proven her excellent parenting skills by fostering this young girl into something great, something she may not have become. The only thing standing in Rosie’s way of being this child’s mother is her sexual orientation, and that alone. Many existing couples and individuals face the same obstacles solely because of the fact they are gay.

on stands in the way of the future and well being of many unfortunate children who live in the foster care systems around the country.

Rosie O’Donnell, for example, is a well-known role model for many people and her love and support for children is publicly known. She is a resident of the state of Florida and the laws of state are what prevented her, along with many other homosexuals, from adoption. She goes on to explain,
