2. Intro
Nowadays, the world and
individual countries are as
divided with regard to
adoption as to other area of
gay rights
Russian Federation outlaws
gay marriage as well as gay
adoption, because it’s
political and social life is
highly influenced by
conservative Russian
Orthodox Church
Unconventional sexuality is
seen as perversion
International Adoption is not
so popular http://blog.ctnews.com/evans/files/2009/07/gay-russia.bmp
3. Intro
According to the representative of an international organization
UNICEF in Russia Bertrand Beynvelya: “The number of children
bearing status of "orphans" in Russia tends to increase.
Moreover, many children have surviving parents.”
From 1993 to 2009 the number of parents deprived of their
legitimate rights to their offspring increased almost 4 times
Today Russia has 740000 orphans and those deprived dads
and moms. 160,000 children live and study in boarding schools.

4. Nuclear family
Russian government
follows the argument
that child should be
raised in a nuclear
family that consists of
heterosexual parents
with maternal and
paternal influences.
Nuclear family is the
only alternative.
The most of the
government is very bias
about gay rights

5. Nuclear family as a stereotype
Modern society is breaking
the stereotype of a married
father and mother
According to the Ministry of
Labor and Social
Development of Russian
Federation as of year 2007,
each 7-th child of 18 years or
30% of all the children in
Russia, brought up in single-
parent family
It is proven that the stability
of gay couples does not
differ from those of
heterosexuals’ and can
provide loving and stable
home for a child

6. What happens to kids raised by gay
parents?
Russian government holds
the standpoint that children
raised in homosexual
households are more likely
to become homosexuals
themselves
Nevertheless, research
suggests that they turn out
about the same, no better,
no worse and no more likely
to be gay than other kids
Gay couples can play a good
role of responsible parents
and have no effects on
psychological, sexual,
mental or physical
development
