I believe same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt children. Same-sex couples should allowed to adopt children because in some same-sex couples one parent can be the biological parent, same-sex couples can be good parents, and parenting is a fundamental right.

My first argument is why I believe that same-sex couples should be able to adopt children is because in some same-sex couples one of the parent is the biological parent. My evidence to back this statement up is that in some same-sex couples it [|protects the child]. Usually in lesbian couples, one partner gives birth to a child and the other partner (the second parent) does becomes legal parent through stepparent adoption. For example if a women decides that she wants to be with a women and that women gets impregnated and years that women dies that child will be raised by the other women it been with all it life.

My second argument is why I believe that same-sex couples should be able to adopt children is because same-sex couples[| could be good parents also]. My evidence to back this statement up is that In the study done in 2010, Michael Rosenfeld concludes that children being raised by same-sex couples have nearly the same educational achievement as children raised by married same-sex couples and this shows how same-sex couples can be good parents too.

My third argument is why I believe that same-sex couples should be able to adopt children is because[| parenting is a fundamental right]. My evidence back this statement up is that In the early 1920's the United States Supreme Court reviewed the rights, liberties, and obligations of parents to direct the upbringing of there children and it said parenting is a fundamental constitutional right.

My counter-argument to why I believe that same-sex couples should be able to adopt is that kids need good role model for both sexes. My rebuttal to this statement is that there are plenty of people raised by one parent that are raised proper. My second counter-argument to why I believe that the same-sex couples should be able to adopt is that kids might get bully. My rebuttal to this statement is that kids might not know that the child has been raised by a same-sex couple, also kids get bully for a whole bunch of different things.
