LGBT Adoption Information

LGBT adoption is the adoption of children by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) persons. This may be in any of the following forms:

Joint Adoption: When a same-sex couple, married or unmarried, jointly adopts a child

Step-parent Adoption: When one partner of a married same-sex couple adopts the other partner’s biological or adopted child

Second Parent Adoption: When one partner of a same-sex couple, married or unmarried, adopts the other partner’s biological or adopted child

Single-parent Adoption: When a single LGBT person adopts a child

If you are an LGBT person in the United States who is hoping to adopt, you have come to the right place.
