LGBT Adoption Essay
LGBT Adoption " There are approximately 100,000 children and/ or adolescents who are in the
Child Welfare System waiting to be put into foster care or be adopted" (Kreisher). The number of

sexual orientation, or marital status and so more children are "aging out" of the foster care system.
Children are aging out of foster care because the federal government is not allowing parents to
adopt based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status and those children are going
without having the loving and nurturing home that they need so the Every Child Deserves a Family
Act should be put in place. The policy that the government should choose to allow for any parent to
adopt children is the Every Child Deserves a Family Act. Under this act more
