the federal deputy Ronaldo Fonseca (Pros-DF) wants to put an end to adoption by same-sex couples. He proposed the ban and presented on the 17th a replacement for the Family Statute, which rejects families formed by people of the same sex.

According to the substitute proposed by the pastor of the Assembly of God, the definition of family can only occur from the union – stable or marriage – of men with women and their descendants.
Furthermore, he wants the Family Council to be included, National Family Appreciation Week and the subject "Family Education" to be included in the school curriculum. Of course, excluding all same-sex families.
Fonseca states that "it makes no sense" to protect families formed by LGBT people, as "joint reproduction and fulfillment of the social role that makes the family the basis of society are not presumed."

The board of directors authorized the creation of a special board, which is mostly made up of parliamentarians with conservative ideas, as well as Marcus Feliciano (PSC-SP) and Jair Bolsonaro (PP-RJ). Only four are progressive, as Erika Kokay (PT-DF) and Iara Bernardi (PT-SP).
Érika has already stated in an interview that "they were carrying out a regimental guerrilla campaign to prevent the approval of the proposal", which she considered "fascist". The deputy has already requested the analysis of the Family Statute project, by former deputy Sérgio Barradas Carneiro (PT-BA).
Currently, there is no law that authorizes adoption by gay couples, but Brazilian justice guarantees the right protected by social assistance services, which evaluate the adopter and define what is best for the child. If the ban occurs, even straight people will need to be civilly married or in a stable union to be able to adopt.
