Resumen
This dissertation aims to analyze the arguments by which homosexual couples have been given the right of adoption. In order to achieve the proposed objective, it was decided to develop a bibliographic and documentary research. Despite the legislative omission regarding the permission of adoption by homosexual couples, using the new constitutional hermeneutics, that values the maximum effectiveness of fundamental rights, among which the equality and human dignity, there is no denying the right to maternity or paternity to those couples, since sexual orientation, as part of the human personality, can not be used as a means of citizen discrimination. Besides, it must be respected and encouraged by all and especially by the State. In pioneer decision in Rio Grande do Sul, the State Court upheld the decision of a judge of the District of Bagé / RS, which has granted child adoption to the minors’ mother's companion. Fatherhood/motherhood is not related to sexual orientation of people. In fact, it is a matter of gender, of role, that can be perfectly carried out by two men or two women, without prejudice to anyone who benefits from it. The placement of a child or adolescent in a foster family, formed by homosexual couples, is another embodiment of the constitutional principle of maximum protection of the minor, for it provides access to all fundamental rights that are guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, such as life, health, food, education, leisure, professionalization, culture, dignity, respect, freedom and family life. Besides, the minor would not be able to have this all if s/he remained abandoned in the streets.
