It has become an issue that has been recognized by the government as well as the church. Many gay and lesbian people are choosing to become parents. Some bring children with them from previous relationships or some couples impregnate through artificial insemination. Others are finding adoption to be their preferred method of bringing a child into their family.

Because gays are not allowed to marry, it can be hard for gay people to adopt a child in those states. Because Vermont has Civil Unions , both parents have equal rights in adoption cases.
