The discrimination Gay and Lesbian Couples Face While Adopting.

Created by S.O. on September 15, 2016

Gay and lesbian couples have the astounding ability to give a child that is without a family and permanent home, exactly what they dream of: a family and a home.

According to lifelongadoptions.com "...one-third of agencies would reject a gay or lesbian applicant, either because of the religious beliefs guiding the agency, a state law prohibiting placement with LGBT parents, or a policy of placing children only with married couples. Additionally, agency heads are more likely to have negative views towards gays and lesbians adopting when they associate such adoptions with greater evaluation and support needs."

What action is being implemented to help these couples not face discrimination? Loving homes could be given to many children and rescue them from the "system".
