Nature points clearly to a man and a woman to beget children and bring them up since this man and this woman are their natural father and mother. But when these two are missing, adoption is a solution to the problem of their upbringing.

Our Civil Law speaks on adoption in Book First, Title III. Section 114 (2): "An adoption decree may be made on the application of the spouses, who have been married for a period of not less than three years and are living together, authorising them jointly to adopt a person and may not be made on the application of one only of such spouses: provided...".

Then subsection (3) says: "Save in the case of two spouses living together, an adoption decree shall not be made authorising more than one applicant to adopt a person."

As our law stands, it is a perfect reflection of nature itself. Normally, children are brought up by a man and a woman, a father and a mother; this is reflected in section 114 (2). Sometimes it happens that one of the parents dies, so the surviving parent will take charge of their upbringing; this is reflected in section 114 (3).

So it is completely natural to have children adopted by two persons, a man and a woman married together, and it is natural to have children adopted by one person only, either a man or a woman, when a couple cannot be found, but it is completely unnatural to have children adopted by two men or two women, giving them the false impression that they have two fathers or two mothers.
