Gay Couples Adopting

Slacker.:

I don't see anything wrong with gay adoption.

I agree. I don't see anything wrong with it either. I support it.

I totally agree.
I can't understand why people are against it.

Because if we give gay people rights, then we have to acknowledge their humanity.

No , no , no!
I know my opinion won't change anything but uh, that's weird to have people that are gay adopt babies. But it's the person who has the baby's choice.
Eek!

Weird?
Weird?
Are you fucking kidding me?
I think it's terrible that children are kept in fucking foster care because people like you won't allow them to have a loving home.
I think Angelina Jolie's lips are weird, but she can adopt.
And since when is the desire to want to nurture, raise, and love a child weird?
It's also not the person who has the child's choice if it's not a private adoption.

I might think you're weird but does that mean that you shouldn't be allowed to adopt? No.

Children shouldn't be kept away from loving parents just because people think they're 'weird'.
Gay/lesbian couples can be just as loving as a straight couple and nobody should deny them the right to have a adopt a child, especially since they can't have one themselves.

I think that as long as the child has a functioning and loving home, who cares what gender they are.
There are some heterosexual couples who neglect their kids and abuse them, and if there are homosexual couples that can do better, that's in the child's best interest.
I think homophobia and any limits put on being homosexual are absofuckinglutely ridiculous. What right does anyone have to tell someone else that it's wrong to love someone else because they aren't the right gender?!

I want a kid or two someday with the woman I love.

:| What makes us bad parents?

Absolutely nothing :arms:
You'd make a wonderful mum.

That's what I don't understand. Sure, there are people that think homosexuality is weird or wrong, but why should that mean they'd be unfit to care for children.
Women can make good mothers, men can make good fathers. Why should it be different if there are two of each instead of one?

What you guys said. As long as the parents are loving, caring, and are able to take care the child, I don't see any fault in that. Especially since my mom's boss is homosexual and he adopted his son a few years ago (and I know that since the baby shower was held at my house thanks to my mom. :lmfao )

This point has been brought up before, but merely being hetrosexual doesn't mean you're going to raise your child in a loving environment. No matter a person's sex/sexual orientation, they can be an abusive parent.

And as for those who say that the child will be raised differently, or maybe even raised to be gay? That's utterly ridiculous. The only ounce of truth in this might be that the child would be raised to be more accepting of homosexuals... and is that bad at all?

No, it's not. So such the fuss? It makes no sense to me.

Eek!

Would you prefer a heterosexual couple give a child an abusive and unpleasant childhood, or a homosexual couple a loving, caring home?

Tell me what's weirder. I don't think it's fair for children to be kept in foster homes when there are plenty of homosexual couples willing to give them loving homes and a chance at a better life.

I'd also like to point out that, statistically, lesbians have the healthiest marriages.

And healthy marriages are good for kids.

Go Druscilla. :cute: My Mum is a lesbian and I'm fine. :XD Lesbians make awesome parents...except when they're both PMSing.

Adoption should totally be okay for all gays it's depends on the parents, not their sexuality.

You said it, I completely agree.
As long as parents provide a loving and caring home for a child, gender is unimportant.

Personally I have no problem with it. Sexuality doesn't affect the upbringing of a child. It's the parenting style of both parents, ultimately they are the ones raising the child.

Making gay adoption illegal would not only be degrading to homosexuals, but it'd be incredibly bad for children. Wouldn't you rather a child be raised by a loving gay couple rather than a crappy foster home? I can't believe some people still oppose gay adoption, it's ridiculous and it's hurting kids.

How does it hurt the kids? What if their foster home is equally as good as their gay couple home? Just asking...

Some people oppose it because it defies the stereotypical norms of society.

Gay adoption is illegal in most countries, or a lot of countries at least.

A lot of foster homes aren't that great though. I'm just saying that taking a child away from a loving family just because that family consists of a gay couple isn't helping anyone, let alone the children.

It's legal in some parts of the US, including where I live.
