The primary function of the family is to reproduce society, either biologically, socially, or both. From the children’s perspective, the family is a family of orientation; family serves to locate children socially, and plays a major role in their life.
However, producing children is not the only function of the family .The family is considered to encourage love and trust and a place where warmth, tenderness and understanding can be expected from a loving mother, a loving father or whomever is the caregiver.
We can’t say that traditional couples are a better option to raise a child. There are many children who lost their parents and they are waiting for somebody to love them and take care of them. The ability for one to adopt should not be based on one’s sexual orientation. If the child can be given a good home, than it should not matter.

Hi Zulma
You are right, there are many children, who need good homes to offer them love and care. During my work in school, I meet many kids who are being raised by their Grand parents or aunts and uncles. Because their biologically parents left them or could not provide them with the basic needs and stability.
The Topical family used to be mother and a father but nowadays family structure change with the high rate of divorce and same sex relationship, we see single mother and single father raising children in their own and provide them with love and care they need. Because of these changes in our family structure who is to say who should or should not be a lowed to adopt if the fit the requirement to raise a child.
