| Same-sex marriage or partnership and adoption: debate for Ireland, Eimear Kavanagh, B.Soc.Sc., Critical Social Thinking: Policy and Practice, Vol. 1, UCC, 2009 |
|---|
| Relevance to Ireland |  |
|---|
| An Irish study, looking at the modern Irish situation. |
|
| Relevance to 'pink adoptions' | |
|---|
| If same-gender families can marry, then they can adopt domestically, and they can more easily adopt internationally (in some cases). |
|
| Accessibility | |
|---|
| Very clear. |
|
| Rigor |  |
|---|
| Very detailed. Maybe too much focus on GLEN's point of view. A more diverse point of view could have allowed an interesting exploration of disagreements within th gay community, but it may have risked to dissolve the point made by the study: parents can be good parents regardless of their sexuality, and children deserve to have their parent's relationship recognized as valid. |
| Overall |  |
|---|
| A very good argumentation in support of same-gender parenting. |
