    Intercountry Adoption

    Like all U.S. citizens considering intercountry adoption, LGB persons, and same-sex couples must comply with the laws and regulations governing adoption and immigration in the child's country of origin and in the United States.

    U.S. federal law does not prohibit LGB U.S. citizens or same-sex couples from being adoptive parents. However, some foreign countries do not authorize LGB individuals or same-sex couples to adopt. When deciding to pursue intercountry adoption, prospective parents should be sure to explore whether the country they are interested in adopting from permits adoption by LGB persons or couples.

Either we would carry out it with them – dads can do mom stuff just like moms can do dad stuff, or if one of us wasn’t the adj person for the employment, we would find a friend, or they would do whatever it was with Grandma.

    I’ll never disregard when Anna was in kindergarten and decided she wanted French braids. James wasn’t the least bit daunted. He got on You Tube and did his homework. He was so competent the other moms in the playground were deeply impressed.

    We’ve been blessed by a fantastic school community and the other moms have been fabulous. As the stay-at-home parent, James was always included. The mom’s group emails would be addressed to ‘all the moms and James’.

    Whether it’s ear piercing, shopping for bras or advice that’s ne

    More than million LGBTQ adults are parenting children under the age of 18

    A new study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law finds that 18% of LGBTQ people, roughly million adults, are parenting children under the age of 18 in their households. The study also finds that about 14% of same-sex couples (, couples) and almost one in five married same-sex couples (18% or , couples) are parenting minors in their homes.

    Among parents, same-sex couples adopt (21%), foster (4%), and have stepchildren (17%) at significantly higher rates than different-sex couples (3%, %, 6%). Approximately 35, same-sex couples parenting minors have adopted, and 6, are fostering children. Notably, 24% of married same-sex couples have adopted a child compared to 3% of married different-sex couples.

    This report uses multiple data sources to provide parenting rates and sociodemographic characteristics of LGBTQ parents in the United States. The current report focuses specifically on LGBTQ people who are parents of children under the age of 18 living in their homes.

    Results show that approximately 5
