Neutrality?
It seems like the section "Opponents of adoption by LGBT people usually cite the following arguments" has some pretty bad POV in it and isn't neutral at all.
Opponents of adoption by LGBT people usually cite the following arguments:
- suggesting that homosexual couples would make children develop vaguely defined "unwanted traits,"[1] accusations that gay parents lack "parental competence"[2] or other heterosexist arguments[3][4][5]
By using the word "suggesting" the whole argument is made less valid, "vaguely defined" is really obvious POV which especially has no place in the section "Opponents usually make arguments". This implies that they don't have any valid arguments and only talk empty phrases, which really has no place in an encyclopedia. And "heterosexist arguments"? Accusing people of sexism in an encyclopedia... That is just bad
- naming individual cases of parental abuse[6]
"naming individual cases" again implies that the opponents don't have valid arguments; argumentation technique is of no importance, especially when talking about the arguments a group of people usually makes.
- religious reasons[7]
Could be extended to match the length of a pro point, but is fine.
- vague accusations of violating child's rights[8]
"Vague accusations" is Pov language yet again
I haven't changed anything yet as I'm kind of a newbie on enwiki, but the whole section needs to be changed/rewritten. IntoDarkness (talk) 15:20, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Updating LGBT adoption Page
Ok, I'm a bit of a newbie at using Wiki, but certain areas need some updating and clarification;
- Debate:Arguments:The "Catholic Answers" seems to be supporting the Same-sex adoption case; needs clarification
- Image for global laws of Legal Status needs to be updated, some countries have now changed laws but are not reflected in the image
- Asia: I'm sure that there a laws that relate to same-sex adoption in OTHER ASIAN COUNTRIES, for example, China or Japan, right? I don't know specifically what their laws are, but I'm sure that they have some.
- Summary of laws by jurisdiction: Inserting an Asian table and making an Oceania table that would combine the (current) Australasian table with the laws from other Oceanic countries. There is more to Asia than just the commonly known West Asia (Middle and Near East). There's China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea, as well as many more that all have various systems of governments and laws. Should someone find them, please put them up; either on the Talk page so others can table the results or do it yourself, that would be great so that the LGBT Adoption page is a little less White-centric and more encyclopaedic.

Response
My argument essay states that a child raised by a homosexual couple will not have any repercussions to their childhood. This article on Wikipedia, LGBT adoption offers a debate content in which I’ll be focusing on. The first of this series is the opposing arguments on this topic. Noting that homosexuals have a higher tendency of depression which can suffer the child, along with not having both sexes as parents can hinder their experience. Both of these are often heard, along with mentioned in the article a lot of. The American Psychological Association informed that though the fear that homosexual parents will abuse children, this is not supported by any research that has been conducted. Many religious adoption agencies had ended due to the refusal of adopting to a same sex couple in response to what they believed in. With a list of reasons why it doesn’t make up for a disaster, opponents state for religious reasoning, lack of parental competence, and having the child develop unwanted traits is what will hold a couple from raising a child. With public opinion, by a 2007 CNN poll, 57% of respondents felt gays should have the right to adopt 40% did not. This information was conducted awhile ago, since this past months of 2015 legalization of gay marriage is across the United States. Just from our improvements, since July 2015, national debates on LGBT parenthood are held in Australia, Chile, Poland, Germany, Portugal, and Slovakia. Some improvement, unfortunately, doesn’t happen world wide as we’d like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.62.206.226 (talk) 21:34, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Using tables for chronology sorting and making existing tables "sortable"
Is there any reason that the Legal status section does not use a sortable table to show the dates with a "states" and possible "Notes" column for further information/clarification?
Also, is there any reason that the existing tables from Summary of laws by jurisdiction section do not use the "sortable" function so as to allow for easier access to information such as "I want to know what countries do and don't allow 'joint petitions'?" Please note that the (notes) inside these cells can still be kept where they are but would be sortable?
So my proposed revision of the tables would be:
- For Legal status:
Country | States and/or Territories affected | Year that full, joint adoption rights came into effect |
---|---|---|
Andorra | 2014 [1] | |
Argentina | 2010 [2] | |
Austria | 2016 [3][4] | |
Belgium | 2006 [5] | |
Brazil | 2010 [6] | |
Canada | 1995 [7][8] | |
Colombia | 2015 [9] | |
Australia | Australian Capital Territory | 2004 [10] |
New South Wales | 2010 [11] | |
Tasmania | 2013 [citation needed] | |
Victoria | 2016 [citation needed] | |
Western Australia | 2002 [10] | |
Denmark | 2010 [12] | |
Greenland | 2015 [13] | |
Finland | 2017 | |
France | 2013 [14] | |
Iceland | 2006 [15] | |
Ireland | 2015 [16] | |
Israel | 2008 [citation needed] | |
Luxembourg | 2015 [17][18] | |
Malta | 2014 [19] | |
Netherlands | 2001 [20] | |
New Zealand | 2013 [20] | |
Mexico | Coahuila | 2014 [21] |
Mexico City | 2010 [22] | |
Norway | 2009 [23] | |
Portugal | 2015 [24] | |
South Africa | 2002 [25] | |
Spain | 2005 [26] | |
Sweden | 2003 [27] | |
United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories | England | 2005 [28] |
Wales | 2005 [29] | |
Scotland | 2009 [30] | |
Northern Ireland | 2013 [31][32] | |
Gibraltar | 2014 [33] | |
Isle of Man | 2011 [34] | |
Jersey | 2012 [35] | |
Pitcairn Islands | 2015 [36] | |
United States | Nationwide | 2015, except for Mississippi [37][38][39][40] |
Partial coverage | 1993, some states and territories allowed adoption [citation needed] | |
Uruguay | 2009 [41][42] |
The following countries permit step-child adoption in which the partner in a relationship can adopt the natural, and in case of Germany, the adopted child of his or her partner:
- Croatia (2014)[43]
- Cyprus (2015)[44]
- Estonia (2016)[45]
- Germany biological (2005)[46] and adopted (2013)[47] (step-child adoption of adopted children in practice makes it a joint adoption, but in "two steps").
- Slovenia (2011)[48]
I would not be opposed to possibly splitting the countries with partial rights in states, territories, etc. into a separate table, but I'll let the responses decide that; I am aware that using the sortable function can "split" the rowspanning cells into individual 1x1 cells, but only if the function is used.
The Summary of laws by jurisdiction would simply need class="wikitable sortable"
placed into its respective tables.

Paint Northern Territory Purple on Map
Same-Sex adoption is now legal in the Northern Territory in Australia. Please paint it purple on the map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:1680:BF00:B4F0:1EDD:890:B34C (talk) 22:06, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
Mexico
Since the SC ruling in Mexico, does marriage automatically entail adoption? I'm hesitant to add the recent SSM states to the map. — kwami (talk) 21:21, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Requested move 4 March 2022
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Moved to Same-sex adoption. Wide consensus exists to rename the article to fit more closely with the scope of this article. The idea of moving it to Same-sex adoption rather than the originally proposed title was raised later on concision & common terminology grounds, and has also gained considerable consensus. (This article is move-protected and will require administrator intervention for moving it, a technical request has been filed and the page will be moved shortly.)

LGBT adoption → Adoption by same-sex couples – The article talks about people of the same sex adopting; it isn't about trans people adopting. It should follow the same logic behind the Same-sex marriage article and be named Adoption by same-sex couples. Both topics are about same-sex couples, not about transgender rights. It is not objective nor accurate to use the LGBT acronym in this article Heikocvijic (talk) 05:05, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom. I would also suggest renaming the Category:LGBT adoption tree, and the articles in that category that aren't already adopting this naming convention (right now there's a mix - e.g. LGBT adoption in Europe vs. Same-sex adoption in the United Kingdom, Same-sex adoption in Brazil). Also, it might be better to go with the title Same-sex adoption for consistency with the aforementioned articles and conciseness, but I don't feel strongly about it.

- Support, but preference to move to same-sex adoption. The topics of transgender parenting and same-sex couple parenting are distinct and this article is very clearly about only the latter. LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 23:17, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment should LGBT parenting also be moved? @Colin M, LittleLazyLass, and Heikocvijic: Natg 19 (talk) 23:45, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Would make sense, since it's in a similar situation where the article is almost exclusive about same-sex parenting and it makes more sense to treat it as its own distinct topic, but that would raise the question of what to do with the small section on transgender parenting tacked on at the end. Perhaps a Transgender parenting article is in order? LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 19:50, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I agree Heikocvijic (talk) 04:13, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Support per nomIamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)- Comment So everyone seems to agree with the idea, but the exact name maybe not. I now propose then to follow the reccommendation of Colin M and rename it Same-sex adoption. I would like to know if Same-sex adoption is the proposal we can all get behind, so I can close the discussion and start a different request, to have consensus. Please reply to this comment if you agree or comment what you would prefer, and after I will close this request and make another request with the agreed upon names. @LittleLazyLass, Colin M, — kwami, Iamreallygoodatcheckers, Natg 19. In the next request with the agree name, I will also include the proposals by LittleLazyLass and Colin M, on Transgender parenting, Same-sex parenting and Category: Same-sex adoption. I want to see what you guys think before I close this discussion to start a new one with the final concensus. Thank you Heikocvijic (talk) 04:38, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- I prefer the proposal: "same-sex adoption" sounds like you're adopting someone of the same sex. — kwami (talk) 06:40, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- It's the most common terminology for this topic, though. LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 19:11, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- BTW, I've added notes to the SSM template that not all SSM jurisdictions allow SS couples to adopt, so SSM is not "equal marriage" in those states. Reverted as "not relevant", but it seems to me that having gender tests for whether you count as a married couple is very relevant to whether a state truly has SSM. (SS couples can get married, and married couples can jointly adopt, but SS married couples cannot jointly adopt, so they have a 2nd-class marriage.) — kwami (talk) 06:54, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

- @Heikocvijic: just FYI, you don't need to start a whole new RM for the new proposed name. In a situation like this where an RM is opened proposing that an article at title A be moved to title B, then during the discussion someone else suggests title C, which attracts consensus, it's completely normal for the closer to move the page to title C, even though it wasn't the originally proposed title. Also, if this page is moved, the corresponding category can also be speedily moved, without requiring any further discussion, per WP:C2D. Though you may still want to open a new RM to discuss LGBT parenting. Colin M (talk) 15:38, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- Support Heikovijic's proposal. It's more concise. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 04:43, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Iamreallygoodatcheckers: Before I close this discussion, I want to confirm that by this opinion, you mean to support the original proposal, i.e., Adoption by same-sex couples right? ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 14:47, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I support the proposal. Make the move. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Iamreallygoodatcheckers: wait, I'm confused. You said you supported the proposal because it's "more concise". I would think that meant you supported Same-sex adoption rather than Adoption by same-sex couples? Colin M (talk) 17:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Yes I support “same-sex adoption” over “Adoption by same-sex couples”. I misread CX Zoom’s comment. I apologize. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 17:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
