0Hi!02br
02br
00I need a great help. I translated the summary of a monograph, which I have to hand in tomorrow - and I 'd like to know if there are any mistakes, please!!!02br
02br
01i00Here it goes:02i02br
00This monograph tries to show the reality of a current and polemical topic in Brazil: adoption by 01u00homoaffective pairs02u00 01b00(here may I write 01u00gay pairs02u00 instead of01u00 homoaffective pairs02u00? In fact I don’t know if this expression “homoaffective pairs” exist, sorry!).02b00To a better understanding of the topic, at 00first instance, a brief historical00 00is done concerning the evolution of family patterns. The changes that happened in the Brazilian family 01u00are broached02u00 00(or it’s00 00better to say here00 01b01u00are accosted?)02u02b00, showing the new existent patterns nowadays.00In the following chapter, besides a brief study of the prejudice with regard to the homosexual in the course of the history, with approach in the equality principle01b00, 02b00it’s showed up the acceptance to the gay union in the international scenery and in Brazilian juridical system. 01u00Broaches02u00 00(or00 01b01u00Accosts?)02u02b00 00the adoption problem in Brazil, as well as its requirements and purpose, that is to assure the child and adolescent’s right to the familiar and communitarian familiarity.00In the last chapter, the core of this monograph is reached, the adoption by gay pairs. First, it tries to accost00 00the00 00problem that has permeated most of the adoptions00 00by homosexuals in Brazil: when a gay pair wants to adopt, one of the homosexuals has to be chosen in order to formalize the petition for adoption, but, in the practice, both finish educating and raising together this child. It becomes evident00 00that the bond between the child and the partner of his adopter doesn’t find a proper juridical custody that preserves the best interests of the minor. Also, the legal possibility is seen of gay pairs coming to jointly adopt, presenting studies about adoption’s psychological viability by these pairs and giving an account of the first favorable judicial decisions to adoption by them.00Key words: Adoption, gay pairs; homosexuality;family;child; adolescent.02br
