ADOÇÃO HOMOAFETIVA A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA FAMÍLIA ATRAVÉS DO AFETO

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss a relevant topic within the scope of Family Law: the adoption of children and adolescents by same-sex couples. This is an issue of great social and legal importance today, with a qualitative approach, considering the new family configurations, the legal provisions of this adoption, the prejudices faced by these couples and the bureaucracy involved in the process, including the possibility of registration in the birth register. In Brazil, although there is no explicit prohibition on same-sex adoption, there is also no specific law that regulates the procedure for couples, which creates legal uncertainty and practical difficulties. Therefore, there is a need to approve a specific law, which would regularly regulate the adoption procedure for same-sex couples, resulting in the guarantee of legal security, the fight against prejudice and the promotion of the well-being of the adopted child and adolescent.
