Gay Adoption BasicsTypes of Adoptions- Public Agency Adoption: The outcome of gay adoptions with this route is solely left to the attitudes of the state and the agency as each state decides who can adopt. The court's make their decisions based on what they think is in the best interest of the child in question. This is of course extremely subjective.
- Independent Adoption: These adoptions are facilitated by someone other than an agency or social worker. This could mean an attorney or physician. These adoptions are illegal in many states. With these adoptions the placement is left up to the families involved. Again honesty regarding who you are is important.
International Adoption: This option is complicated however, as it means finding an agency willing to work with a homosexual couple and a foreign country willing to place a child in an alternative family. Many countries are not as accepting of gay and lesbian couples. These countries are making these decisions based on their cultural standards and again, what they feel is in the best interest of their children.
