Abstract

This thesis will focus on the revision of traditional definitions of the family because this institution is continually submitted to incessant changes. It will defend homosexual people, in the same way as heterosexual people, they are suitable to constitute families where maternity and paternity functions can be performed. In consequence, they can not be invalidated for children adoption without any other reason other than their sexual preferences. It will be necessary to analyse each case individually with the only objective is to differentiate people, their functions and their deep motivation of wanting to have a child. In single-parent families, a crucial point is brought up, if in the woman�s unconscious desire exists a third person as the mother is taking a decision of having a child, or it could be a mother who wants to have a child alone without any male involvement, or support from anybody else.
