Children as trophies?
Examining the evidence on same-sex parenting
By Patricia Morgan
Here is what the cover blurb of this book says:
There
are increasing calls to allow same-sex couples to adopt children.
Whilst this idea is popular with many social workers, opinion
polls show that the public strongly disagrees. Claims are routinely
made that homosexual parenting is at least as good if not better
than parenting in the traditional two-parent family. Most concerned
with adoption placements would admit that ultimately this question
should be decided by the evidence. Social work's concern is to
act in the best interests of the child. To go against the evidence
would mean adoption because of the adopter's interests and not
the child's. Patricia Morgan has looked at the evidence in meticulous
detail. She has produced what is the most comprehensive review
of research on same-sex parenting ever published in Europe. The
evidence is very clear for any who wish to consider it.
'Children as Trophies' is published by the Christian Institute.
