This article raises the current situation of homoparental adoption in Latin America. The problem of discrimination-exclusion and social justice. This work exposes the need to integrate the secular bioethical perspective in the public discussion and the contrast of conservative and liberal arguments on homoparental adoption. Likewise, the article exposes the urgent need to legislate in favor of children and not against same-sex couples or gay individuals who are trying to adopt. We recommend the promotion of bioethical education and social awareness to prevent violence and discrimination against vulnerable minorities through the teaching and practice of tolerance, respect, dialogue, and the bioethical principles of non-maleficence, dignity, integrity, and vulnerability.
