Family Life"Vermont court sets precedent with first lesbian adoption"

In General, the most important functions of family are parenting coming generations and supporting the operation of society. Indeed, based on the book of American Way (P.88), we know that the concept of what makes a family has changed, and several nontraditional types of families, these called “alternative families”, who have been outnumbered traditional families. As a result, some people doubt whether new nontraditional types of families are competent to carry out these functions or not. However, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter whether it’s an alternative family or traditional family, as long as it function its responsibility.
According to the article” Vermont Court sets Precedent with First Lesbian Adoption,” the Vermont court passed the homosexuals family adopting children and set a precedent in Vermont. It is mean that the definition of family had changed and the societies must need to make a quick adaptation to the new type of family. I think that all adoption applicants should have an equal opportunity to apply for their consideration of their qualifications as adoptive parents, under applicable law (because some societies forbid homosexuals). At the same time, applicants should be fairly assessed on their abilities to successfully parent a child needing family membership, not on their appearance, differing lifestyle, or sexual preference.
In conclusion, I agree that alternative families can adopt children if they are legitimate and capable of parenting. Therefore, the society should research on that whether children of homosexual parents grow up just as well-adjusted as children of heterosexual parents or not and others similar issues. The result will help the societies make optima adaptation for the changing of family.
