Adoption by same-sex couples in the Brazilian legal system - Overview of the historical socio-legal framework in the light of the recognition of the same-sex family by the STF and STJ. DE

The reader should be aware that this book is set in mid-2012, shortly after the unprecedented decision by the Brazilian Supreme Court to recognize same-sex unions. The recognition of civil unions has repercussions, one of which is the possibility of adoption by same-sex couples. Until then, although it was not explicitly prohibited, it was known to be an unusual practice. This work therefore becomes the result of curiosity about the problem, discussions about the position of each of the three branches of government and its relevance in terms of family inclusion that could change the fate of thousands of abandoned children and adolescents in the country at the time.
