Recently gay and lesbian adoptions has been done openly in the "first word". But before that, gay and lesbian couples have lied in order to adopt. They find one partner adopting, like a friend or roommate and lie to the law in order to adopt.
It is extremely important not to lie to the law in order to adopt, because those children could suffer in the future.
There are more than 1000 gay and lesbian couples waiting for adoption, and million of child waiting for a family.
The question is if gay and lesbian couples are less capable.

Opinions in favour:

More than 50 scientific studies have shown no difference between gays and lesbians parents or heterosexuals couples. They also said that children will not be different than those that have heterosexual parents.

Opinions against:

Some people says that the "normal" thing is to have one mum and one dad, and that probably the child will suffer if they had two parents of the same sex.
They also said that the children could be ostracized at school

Personal opinion:

I think that there are not only one kind of family, there are many different ways of bring up a child. But I also think that the family is really important for a person. So I support the idea of adoption, because every children needs a family. I am not sure if the best option is gay adoption. I do not know how the child will react with two parents of the same sex. But what I do think is that everyone has the wright of grow up in family with love and contention.
