Each state should allow same sex couples to adopt children.

The main purpose of adoption is not for the satisfaction of a couple, regardless of homosexual or heterosexual, but is for the well-being of the adopted child. My opponent points out the Constitutional statement that states, "no state shall… deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." However, the "any person" does not include same sex couples because the concept of homosexual was not present in the past when this consitutional statement was written in the Constitution. Therefore, my opponent will have to come up with a new statement that was written after the concept of gay couple had been represented in the society. Thomas Jefferson too, was unaware of the concept of homosexual in his time; therefore, "all men" does not refer to gay couple who were actually created differently, having different sexual orientation from other men, who were referred by the Declaration of Independence. My opponent another point, "The American Psychological Association and all respectable, unbiased psychological organizations agree that gay couples are just as good parents as straight couples." is a false statement; " portion of respectable, unbiased experts also have stated that "singles have better likelihood of a successful adoption over same sex couples, with more successful single female adoptions over single male adoptions." "There has been stronger acceptance for adoptions by unmarried individuals over the past years. However, unmarried individuals still don't share the same treatment or preference when it comes to traditional married couples. For instance, it is almost impossible for a single individual to adopt a new born infant. This is because heterosexual married couples are still given priority when pairing off infants to parents for adoption.

It is another issue that should be treated with other solutions, such as supporting the foster care system with more funding, and with more care. The soltuions to foster care system should be discussed in other subjects rather than "is adoption for gay couple constitutional?" I am still doubtful that children will want to be rather adopted to gay family to escape from the bad conditions of foster care system. My opponent did not provide any source that confirms his hypothesis, which states every orphan want to be rather adopted by gay family than staying. The biased view of anti-gay people can be harshier for children than the bad conditions of foster care system, because children are more vulnerable to psychological insults than physical abuses. In the present Constitution, marriage is in the United States only consists of the union of a man and a woman. Since marriage is the issue that can not be separated from the issue of adoption, adoption for homosexual couples is unconstitutional. [This version of the amendment was introduced during the 108th Congress in the Senate as SJ 16 and in the House as HJ 56:] "Neither this Constitution, nor the Constitution of any State, nor State or Federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups." This amendment directly states that it is not constitutional for the gay people to have the right to marry, which means that it is also unconstitutional for them to adopt children, that adoption needs marriage beforehand in order to provide the adopted child a better environment to live, and more promissing commitment for the child. At last, the mal conditions of foster care system cannot be the reason that gay people's adoption should be constitutional, and homosexuals are not protected by neither the The United States Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1 nor The Declaration of Independence, in the matter of the right of adopting children.
