Essay Title: The Morality of Adoption

THE MORALITY OF ADOPTION

Adoption is a legal procedure that establishes a filial paternal or maternal relationship between people who are not biologically related. The primary objective of adoption is to provide a family to homeless children; this new family unit must protect and offer welfare, support and stability to them. Nowadays, adoption still has an important moral significance, and it is approved only for heterosexual couples in the majority of countries. Due to this, numerous homosexual partners have been employing Assisted Reproduction Techniques [ART] to find the opportunity to look after and raise a child. The use of these methods, despite having identical factual consequences, is not controlled by authorities with the same severity and rigorousness as the adoption process. Accordingly, adoption should be authorized to homosexual couples, because it not only examines the suitability of the adoptive parents guaranteeing a stable family for the child, but also because it is highly controlled as well as regulated by governments. To develop this issue, this essay will analyse the requirements, objectives and the moral influence of adoption. Additionally, it will study the concept of preferred family and the reasons why adoption has been proscribed to homosexual couples. Finally, the concept and effects of procreative liberty will be explored, particularly the manner in which they influence the way homosexual families are formed.

Humanitarian awareness and a duty to global solidarity to orphan children emerged after the two World Wars, provoking a redefinition of the purposes of adoption.[1] Since that moment, and considering the family as the natural environment for the growth and well-being of an infant, adoption has been described as a measure to protect and supply harmonious development to children who have an insecure domestic context
