LGBT

   Adoption is a beautiful thing.  Children all over the world need homes and there are plenty of adults who cannot have children of their own who would like to adopt.  Included in this category are members of the LGBT community.
   Adoptions Together has a proud history of building families with partnered couples.  The number of LGBT families working with Adoptions Together continues to grow each year.  They fully believe in adoption equality.
   A lot of people look down upon the idea of same-sex partners raising a child.  However, sometimes same-sex parents can provide a more loving and stable home than a man and a woman can.
   Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old male from the state of Iowa, speaks out about being raised by two lesbians.  In the video below, Zach addresses the Iowa House of Representatives.

   In this video, Zach says, "It comes from the love that binds us, that's what makes a family."  This is a powerful statement about what a family is.  He also says, "The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character."  He speaks about his life experience being raised by same-sex parents and makes an irrefutable argument as to what family really is. 

   To add some humor, the following clip from Modern Family also demonstrates what it is like to be same-sex parents.  Cameron and Mitchell are repeatedly put down by Cameron's father, Jay.  In this clip, Jay finally makes a step toward accepting his son, his son's partner, and his new granddaughter.
