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.
