Resumen
La presente investigación analizó el tema de adopción homoparental dentro del Estado ecuatoriano en base al principio del interés superior del niño, en donde se ha realizado una comparación entre la normativa actual con patrones nacionales e internacionales. En este sentido, el problema se reflejó en la restricción que se manifiesta dentro del artículo 68 de la Constitución de Ecuador, que limita la adopción entre parejas del mismo sexo, creando una contradicción entre los principios de igualdad y no discriminación, así también en el derecho de niños, niñas y adolescentes a tener una familia. La justificación se basa en la necesidad de vincular el marco legal ecuatoriano con jurisprudencia internacional, tal cual demuestra la evidencia científica en donde menciona que la orientación sexual de los adoptantes no genera afectaciones en el desarrollo infantil. La metodología adopta un enfoque documental, con un análisis social-jurídico de normas, doctrina y jurisprudencia, adaptándose con la revisión de casos relevantes como es el caso Satya. En cuanto a las conclusiones, se entiende que el impedimento constitucional vigente es una manifestación de discriminación estructural que causa una vulneración al interés superior del niño, por ende, es indispensable que se realice una reforma legislativa la cual permita la adopción homoparental.
This research analyzed the topic of homoparental adoption within the Ecuadorian State based on the principle of the best interests of the child, where a comparison has been made between current regulations and national and international standards. In this regard, the problem was reflected in the restriction manifested within Article 68 of Ecuador's Constitution, which limits adoption between same-sex couples, creating a contradiction between the principles of equality and non-discrimination, as well as in the right of children and adolescents to have a family. The justification is based on the need to link the Ecuadorian legal framework with international jurisprudence, as demonstrated by scientific evidence which mentions that the sexual orientation of adoptive parents does not generate negative effects on child development. The methodology adopts a documentary approach, with a social-legal analysis of norms, doctrine, and jurisprudence, adapting with the review of relevant cases such as the Satya case. Regarding the conclusions, it is understood that the current constitutional impediment is a manifestation of structural discrimination that causes a violation of the best interests of the child; therefore, it is essential that legislative reform be carried out which allows homoparental adoption.
