It is considered a homoparental family where a couple of men or women become parents or parents of one or more children. Homoparental couples can be parents through adoption, surrogate motherhood or artificial insemination in the case of women. It is also called homoparental families those in which one of the two members has children naturally from a previous relationship. In a census conducted in the United States in 2000, they mentioned that 33% of families composed of couples of women and 22% of those made up of couples of men reported having at least one child under the age of 18 living in his house. Some children do not know they have an LGBT parent, since this has not been revealed to their children; There is a lot of variability with this topic. Homoparental families, and homoparental adoption in particular, are subjects of continuing political controversy in many Western countries, and are continually part of the cultural wars between so-called conservatives and liberal socials. So in January 2008, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that same-sex couples have the right to adopt Scientifically it has been shown that gay parents and lesbian mothers are as capable as heterosexual fathers and mothers. The research has documented that there is no relationship between the sexual orientation of the parents and any type of measure on the emotional, psychosocial and behavioral adaptation of the child. The American Psychological Association notes that "the results of some studies propose that the abilities of lesbian mothers and gay parents may be superior to those of equivalent heterosexual parents." The historical literature indicates that the physical, economic, psychological and emotional well-being of the parents increases with marriage, and that children benefit from being raised by two parents who are within a legally and socially registered union. Most LGBT people become parents through various forms including past or current relationships, adoption, sperm donors or surrogate mothers. LGBT people can also provide shelters and take care of children in need in some countries such as Ireland or the United Kingdom. A lesbian or gay may have children in the argument of a heterosexual marriage, either for fear of discrimination, to face a sexual orientation, for affection or love, desire for a family, or for spiritual reasons.

Speaking of the effects in childhood:
Although it is sometimes testified in political debates that heterosexual couples are intrinsically better parents than same-sex couples, or that the children of lesbians or gay parents are in worse conditions than children raised by heterosexual parents, these assertions do not find support in the scientific research literature. And when comparing the effects of different types of paternity, it is vital to carry out the appropriate assimilations. For example, differences resulting from the number of parents in a household can not be attributed to the gender of the parents or their sexual orientation. Research in households with heterosexual parents generally indicates that in parity of conditions, children do better with two parenting figures than with only one. According to the research studies that usually cite in this regard do not refer to the sexual orientation of the parents, however, and therefore, do not allow conclusions on the consequences of having heterosexual parents versus homosexuals or parents who are of the same sex. in front of different parents. In fact, the scientific exploration that has directly compared the results of children with gay and lesbian parents with results of children with heterosexual parents has been very consistent in demonstrating that lesbian and gay parents are as capable and capable as heterosexual parents, and their Children are psychologically healthy and are as well adapted as children raised by heterosexual parents. It is emphasized that the abilities of gay and lesbian people in their performance as parents and the actual results for their children are not areas where credible scientific scholars are against. Statements by the main associations of experts in this field reflect the professional consensus according to which children raised by lesbians and gays do not differ in important aspects from those raised by heterosexual parents. There is no credible empirical inquiry to suggest otherwise. That is why approving that same-sex couples marry legally will not have any detrimental effect on children raised in heterosexual homes, otherwise it will benefit children who are raised by same-sex couples
