Abstract:

Abstract: The theoretical essay is based on six reports regarding to same-sex couples and gay and lesbian people to intersect homoparenting and adoption of children with disabilities, through the lenses of human and social sciences in public health. The reports were interpreted in light of studies on same-sex adoption and adoption of children with disabilities. Feminist approaches related to care and disability also comprised the interpretative perspective, operating as expressive webs of Grammars of ableism. It was verified that media approaches endorse the right to family formation and the adoption of children with disabilities by homoparental families, however, short of further critical depth on the category of disability and without highlighting support for the adoption of all adoptee profiles. Besides, the intersections between homophobia and ableism increase discriminatory and oppressive logics, the union of social groups considered as \"undesirable\" being a governmentality strategy that reveals the complexity of Grammars of ableism, applied to the sexual and reproductive rights of LGBTQIA+ adopters and to the fundamental rights of children and adolescents with disabilities available for adoption.
