The adoption as an institute whose primary goal is the child’s best interests must be always considered through an emotional and social perspective at the same time that the role of the State is to ensure that each and every child is given a family able to meet his/her needs and expectations. We now know that is not the composition of the family household that ensures the child development and duly protects his/her best interests, but rather the quality and stability of family bonds. As such, the family so many children seek cannot be chosen based only on the sexual orientation of those involved, otherwise we will be witnessing an illegitimate and unconstitutional understanding of the notion of the child’s best interests.
