The objective of this research is to carry out a systematic review of the literature on adoptions of boys and girls under two years of age by homoparental couples made up of two boys. At the same time, it aims to report on the current status of homoparental adoptions by men who are in a relationship. The PRISMA statement was applied for the systematic review in the databases DOAJ, Redalyc, Scielo, Regional Health Portal of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and Dialnet, surveying scientific articles in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Also, the PICOS method was used to perform screening. As there is little research on the topic, all the articles found will be used without distinction of the year of their publication. Texts in French, book chapters and systematic reviews on the subject were excluded. The results show the need to carry out research regarding adoptions of children under two years of age by homoparental couples made up of two men since only two investigations were found on homosexual men who adopt newborns. In the rest of the research, it can be observed that a prejudice prevails against these couples adopting children due to the fear of the psychological damage that these children may suffer when adopted by these couples. Or because of the fear that sexual abuse will be committed by the adopters of the minor. This is not only demonstrated in research carried out on health, law and education professionals, but also on the general population and the LGBTQIA+ community itself. On the other hand, two investigations show that these couples are more likely to adopt children with health problems or disabilities, more than heteroparental families, and that adoption by these families does not generate any negative consequences for the children. |
