Myths of adoption by gay couple

• April 26, 2024

It is a fact that there are new types of family in the society in which we live. For a long time, in our country, millions of women head what has been called "single-parent families " In the Federal District, one in three women is head of home and lives in a vulnerable situation.

For Mexicans, it is no longer strange to find families formed by people from same sex and, much less, knowing that they have adopted boys and girls to form a new family .

Around this Social phenomenon there are many Myths , and in GetQoralHealth we let you know some:

1. Myth : A child needs father and mother , because you need the references male and female. A minor does not have as references exclusive to your parents , but receives references from other relatives, teachers or television, for example. Children from single-parent families you can develop perfectly.

2. Myth : Children raised by homosexuals, they will also be homosexuals . Recent studies have shown that sexual identity is rooted in the biology of each human being before birth, arises from a variation in the chromosomes and is linked to the genes . This dismisses the belief that homosexuality it is an option. In addition, studies show that most children who live in homoparental families they are subsequently heterosexuals .

3. Myth : The homosexuality is the product of bad parenting or dysfunctional families . People gays Y lesbians , same as heterosexuals , they grow in all kinds of families . No research has managed to establish a link between the homosexuality and the family problems .

4. Myth : Although it is acceptable that homosexuals adopt, the reality of our society is that children will suffer because they will not be accepted. There are still redoubts racists Y homophobic . No child should or can not be rejected for reasons of birth, gender, or religion. The intolerance it should not have a place in our community .
