This study deals with the issue of adoption by homosexual couples. The interest in the subject arises from the observation of initiatives of social sectors that oppose the advances related to the rights of the Brazilian LGBT population. In 2011, the Federal Supreme Court (FSC) recognized the stable union between persons of the same sex, and in 2013 the National Council of Justice (NCJ) decreed the prohibition of denying the habilitation, celebration of civil marriage or conversion of stable marriage into same-sex marriage in the notary offices. It is understood that there is a multiplicity of family possibilities, and among the familiar configurations that can be found today are families formed by same-sex couples who seek to become fathers and mothers. We can find, in Brazil, two extreme movements: those towards a greater recognition of homosexual families and those who seek to deny these families the right to exist. The interest of this study turns to the constitution of families by homosexual couples in Fortaleza, mainly after the decisions taken by FSC and the NCJ. The gaze is directed at the issue of adoption by these couples, understanding that since it is impossible for two people of the same sex to conceive without the aid of reproductive technologies, these people seek other ways to become fathers and mothers, adoption being one of these forms. This study aimed to understand how homosexual parents exercise their parenting, their perspectives on family and the adoption process, the expectations and anxieties that permeate this process. For that, there were made interviews in a cartographic study, through which it was sought to follow the processes experienced by the interviewees. From the interviews it was possible to perceive that family visions distanced themselves from the need for biological and blood bonding and other elements stand out, such as affection and care. Regarding the construction of parenthood, this is experienced as a process, without perceiving specifics that differentiate the parenting exercised by homosexual couples from that exercised by heterosexuals. The adoption process was presented as being marked by innumerable obstacles, which means that the wait to become a parent is long and the process of adoption is bureaucratic. In addition, they reported prejudices and discriminations regarding the adopted child, as innumerable stigmas, as well as the racism that goes through their experiences. We also find, in the reports, fears that the adopted child is homosexual and that adoptive fathers and mothers are blamed for it. Several elements indicate the complexity of the adoption system in Brazil and the urgency for the bureaucratic obstacles that delay the process to be solved in order to preserve the rights of children and adolescents
