Aspectos jurídicos e sociais da adoção homoafetiva no âmbito brasileiro

Abstract

This work addresses the challenges and advances related to same-sex adoption in Brazil, a topic that reflects the evolution of the concept of family and the fight for equality. Supported by the Child and Adolescent Statute and decisions of the Federal Supreme Court, the study shows how same-sex couples can offer loving and safe homes, respecting the best interests of the child. However, they still face cultural barriers, prejudices and institutional resistance that make it difficult for these families to fully accept each other. The analysis also highlights the influence of the media, public policies and society in building a more inclusive environment. Despite the challenges, advances show that same-sex adoption represents not only a guaranteed right, but an important step in valuing diversity. The work concludes by reinforcing the importance of overcoming prejudices to ensure that all children have the chance to grow up in homes full of affection, care and respect.
