Q. How many homosexual couples adopt children?

The number is not clear written, but I found one article.
The Italian newspaper ‘Corriere della Sera’ says; there are 10milion kids having at least one parent who tend to like same-sex person. However, same-sex marriage is not allowed in Italy, so only biological parent can be recognized as a real parent. That is, another parent can’t be seen as a real parent. According to a survey of ‘Arcigay,’ 17.7% of gay and 20.5% of lesbian (homosexual people who is under 40-year-old) actually have children. It means one of 20 is gay or lesbian parents. And 49%of homosexual couples replied they want to have kids in the future. To make their hope possible, for example, some lesbian couples go to Spain or north Europe and gay couples go to America to find surrogate mother. And it is said that to make family with two dads or two mothers is not rare in the country.
