Here is the text, Clive (to Clive)

0 Hi Clive,02br
02br
00 Well, here it is the summary of the monograph I told you. If you could take a look and point out possible mistakes, 01b00I'd be vey grateful! 02b02br
00 This monograph attempts to show the reality of a current and polemical topic in Brazil: infant adoption by homosexual couples. To better understand 00the topic, first, there is a brief history00 00of the evolution of family patterns and the changes that have taken place in the Brazilian family are discussed, showing the new extant patterns nowadays.00 00 00In the next chapter, the acceptance 01b00(or approval ?) 02b00to00 homosexual union is shown 00by 00in the international scene and in Brazilian juridical system,00 00besides there is also a brief study of the 00prejudice with regard to the homosexual in the course of history, with equality principle prevailing. 00This00 00chapter discusses00 00the adoption problem in Brazil, as well as its requirements and 00purpose that is to assure the child and adolescent’s right to the family and community environments.02br
02br
00 00 00In the final chapter the core idea of this monograph is reached, adoption by gay couples. First, it addresses the00 00problem that has permeated most of the adoptions00 00by homosexuals in Brazil: when a homosexual couple wants to adopt, one of the partners has to be chosen in order to formalize the petition for adoption (formal petition), but, in practice, both parents raise this child. It becomes evident00 00that the bond between the child and the partner of his adopter doesn’t find a proper juridical custody (a proper00 00judicial solution) that preserves the best interests of the minor. Also, the monograph discusses * 01b00the legal possibility00 00of homosexual couples 02b01u00adopting jointly02u00, presenting studies about adoption’s psychological viability by these pairs and giving an account of the first favorable judicial decisions to adoption by them02br
02br
00 * Here the verb is in gerund form, so its meaning (considering the gerund form) seems strange in the sentence, no? By the way, what would be the correct form ? I don't know if I am right, but I suppose it should be: 01b00Also, the monograph discusses the legal possibility of homosexual couples 01u00adopt jointly,...02u02b00 Isn't it?02br

0I don't know the word "extant" but based on my quick look in the dictionary, it seems redundant to say current extant, or extant nowadays (and nowadays is too informal for this writing) so just pick either current or extant. I would use acceptance. There are many thing people accept without overtly approving. "Scene" is too informal as well. There are too many colons used - you'll have to rewri

00 Sorry, but I have decided to send this text twice because I have to hand in this summary right away. When I wrote to Clive, he said I could send my summary for correction, that he would read it if he had time. If he couldn't, another one would do it for sure. But as time passed by and I didn't get a reply, I thought Clive perhaps,
