Adoption by Homosexuals: A Look at Differing State Court Opinions

Abstract

This Note explores the recent decisions and attitudes held by state courts regarding the eligibility of gays and lesbians to adopt children. Although adoptions by gays and lesbians are a recent phenomenon, occurring in the past two decades, many state adoption laws are evolving to include these non-traditional family units. This Note focuses on the courts that have considered adoption by gays and lesbians to be in the best interest of a child.
