Some social scientists believe that same-sex couples adopt children in order to be socially accepted as parents. However, critics to this theory maintain that both same-sex couples and heterosexual couples adopt for the same reasons
Provide an explanation that justifies the critics' view.
What will be an ideal response?
Same-sex adoptive parents tend to be disproportionately white and with high income and education levels, but their reasons for pursuing parenthood echo those of heterosexuals. For example, gay couples adopt children because they love kids, believe that raising children is an important part of life, and want to improve a child's life by providing a good home, and/or because a partner has a strong desire to be a parent.
