Throughout the United States of America and in various nations of the world, there are over thousands of infants and young children waiting to be adopted into a home and finally belong to a caring family. In recent years, as the gay rights movements has been progressing and picking up momentum, same sex adoption, or gay adoptions, has been steadily increasing in the United States every year. The number of gay adoptions has also been increasing throughout different countries of the world. And although there are, and always will be, opposition to gay rights and especially against same sex adoption, the gay rights movement is one that is being heard and felt throughout our nation as well as other nations around the world. Many people may feel that a same sex adoption will not be a stable and healthy environment for a child and that only traditional and conventional homes should have the right to adopt a child.
