Adoção Homoafetiva no Brasil

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the challenges faced in the construction of the parental role of homoaffective couples adopting in Brazil, before dealing with the historical context of changes in family structures to the new family arrangements existing today, focusing especially on the homoaffective family, on how to gives the adoption process in Brazil, from abandonment to adoption, taking into account the rights of children and adolescents provided for in the Statute of Children and Adolescents, laws and jurisprudence. Because, although there is no restriction by law on the sexual orientation of the adopter, there is still prejudice and discrimination by society, this due to a patriarchal family structure, which makes it difficult to guarantee the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community that suffers from the conservatism that goes against dignity of the human person and the principle of equality, being an obstacle for the homoaffective family to now guarantee the right to filiation through adoption. In addition, we also emphasize the role of the Social Worker in the adoption process, analyzing their attributions, competences and posture in the context of homoaffective adoption from the perspective of conservatism.
