Adopción igualitaria para la comunidad LGBTI

Abstract

Adoption should be understood as a fundamental right of the whole citizen, and not a privilege of those who can enjoy the enjoyment of some of that possibility of having a socially, legally and emotionally stable family. What is wanted to achieve through this research project is to determine the level of tolerance and acceptance by Colombians, especially the city of Bogotá, recognizing the rights of the LGBTI community, since the beings that deserve our respect. Giving them the opportunity to be able to adopt. For the purpose is to create between the adopter and the adoptive a relationship similar to that which exists between parents and children of blood. It is not only the transmission of the surname and the patrimony, but the creation of a true family like the one that exists between those united by the bonds of blood. Constitutional jurisprudence has been responsible for opening the way for adoption by same-sex couples. Where they are derived from the decisions made by the court, which are as follows: Judgment C-071 of 2015, The court resolved two legal problems: First, if the rules on joint adoption, exercised by permanent companions with uninterrupted cohabitation for at least 2 years, violated the right of couples made up of persons of the same sex to non-discrimination and to form a family. And secondly, and the norms on the supplementary adoption or the consent, that take place in the cases in which the biological son or daughter of the permanent partner is adopted, with the consent of this one, did not know the right of the couples Constituted by persons of the same sex do not discriminate and form a family.
