In an interview with CNN Radio on CNN no Plural+, adoption doula Betho Fers defended the need to create laws that regulate same-sex families.
He is married to Erick Silva and together they are the parents of Stefanie, who is now 4 years old.
The 2016 process, according to him, “was smooth”, without running into the courts, after a 2015 regulation by the Federal Supreme Court.
Betho defends the need, however, for the Judiciary to make laws that regulate the family model.
“Without law, it generates emotional insecurity, since it is not provided for in the Constitution. Having laws that regulate family formation is the path to other demands and agendas in the country as a whole”, she explained.
The specialist also assesses that there is a possibility for a homoaffective family to adopt, but “the school is not always prepared, or the health service”, for example.
He says he deals with reports of families with two fathers and two mothers who are “disgusted”: “There are pediatricians who make unhappy comments, having laws would be important to prevent this type of behavior.”
Betho stated that there are “microaggressions that we suffer on a daily basis”: “There are people who make our family model invisible, we have never suffered a major act of violence, but we can see it in the looks, in the unpreparedness of places”.
