The goal of this thesis is to describe the adoption by homosexuals and transgenders. The research was developed over a year in the region of Grande Vitória-ES employing ethnography and life history on adoption as methods. The analytical framework focuses on the family as a socio-legal unit, access to justice, as well as the constitution of rights in relation to minority groups. Based on a network of adoptive parents and adoptees, the main question consists in understanding the strategies that homosexuals and transgenders use to adopt and why they choose them over others, including also the social production of the desire to adopt, the narratives on the construction of the familial setting and on parental and filial love, as well as those daily rituals that parents, their network of affections, and official adoptive institutions practice, which create certain contexts favorable to the adoption. It is noteworthy that despite the adoption challenges, which already impose limitations to heteronormative couples, there is still a moral impediment regarding homosexual and transgender parents. This is seen by these subjects as a condition of interaction to the adoption, that may be official or not, but that meets their social parenthood desire, just as it is the motive for innovations in the legal field of adoption.
