Same Sex Adoption
Same sex adoption as it is most
commonly referred to or LGBT adoption simply means the adoption of a child by a
lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans-gendered couple.
In the past, gay couples have had to be secretive in adopting a child due to certain prejudices that existed against homosexuality. For example, one partner would adopt the child as a single parent and the other would pretend to be a roommate or friend.
Currently in Canada a gay couple can legally marry and they are allowed to adopt, but in the United States it is dependent upon each individual state.
