Can Gay Couples Adopt Haitian Orphans?

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Friday, January 22, 2010
I was reading an article that asked whether gays can support the people of Haiti by adopting orphaned children.

It's a great question and I'm sure tons of people would love to help these kids start over with healthy families.

But if you're gay and married, then you can't.  Gay adoption is banned by every country in the world.  If you're married, they'll know.  But if you're gay and single, you can get around the rule by pretending that you're straight.  If you're coupled but not married you can pretend that the person you're traveling with is your friend.  But if you're married, you're out of luck.

It's a shame.  You can read more about this issue here on the HRC website.

Do you know any gay couples who pretended to be straight in order to adopt a child?
