Adoption by same-sex couples in the Brazilian legal system - Cyntia Mirella Costa Farias Sales - Bog

The reader should be aware that this book is set in mid-2012, shortly after the unprecedented decision by the Brazilian Supreme Court to recognize same-sex unions. The recognition of civil unions has repercussions, one of which is the possibility of adoption by same-sex couples. Until then, although it was not explicitly prohibited, it was known to be an unusual practice. This work therefore becomes the result of curiosity about the problem, discussions about the position of each of the three branches of government and its relevance in terms of family inclusion that could change the fate of thousands of abandoned children and adolescents in the country at the time.
