Answer: there’s nothing wrong with it. It improves the lives of children by bringing them into loving homes. Where’s the problem with that?
Apparently conservatives (such as luckily-not-president McCain) believe that allowing gay and lesbian couples to adopt is somehow bad or immoral. McCain had this to say about it:
I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption.
So, better to leave them in an orphanage rather than to let them be adopted by what he think is a less than ideal family? I’ll even agree with him that having two same-sex parents rather than a traditional mother and father could potentially be detrimental in their development (traditional psychology places importance on both parental figures), but not nearly as detrimental as, say, having a single parent, or having one or both parents be assholes, or living in a poor family, or any number of things — big surprise, not every single child has a perfect life. It’s certainly no-where near as bad for the child as having neither a mother or a father. In fact, there’s plenty of research that shows that children of gay parents turn out just fine.
When The Daily Show covered this issue a while ago, Samantha Bee jokingly referred to “gay parents and their soon-to-be-gay children,” and I think this might actually be the problem conservatives have with this issue, deep down. I’ve seen research going either way about whether children raised by homosexual parents are more likely to identify later in life as homosexual (most of what I’ve seen says it isn’t true), but in some ways it makes sense — they’re already exposed to it so they know it’s “okay” and are more willing to accept their own sexual orientation, rather than trying to repress it or attempt to deny it. If this were true I’d have no problem with it, and neither should you, dear reader; there’s nothing immoral about being homosexual, so a higher chance of identifying as one is not important. I think some conservatives take this way too far, and incorporate it into their “gay people are trying to corrupt our culture” conspiracy, thinking that homosexual parents are out there infecting innocent children with “the gay.” That whole world-view is so absurd (and popular) that I try not to think about it.
So, I’ve done my best to imagine the point of view of someone who opposes gay adoption. Short of Christian fundies that think gays are evil or homophobes that hate gays irrationally (those two groups overlap a lot), I don’t see any reason for a rational person to oppose gay adoption. But, I don’t see any rational reason for anyone to oppose gay marraige either, so I guess the two go hand-in-hand.
damn right there’s nothing wrong with it…
i remember that segment from the daily show… funny stuff
and yeah, better leave the little kids in the orphinage than give them a family that might turn them gay… wtf are these people smoking?!
i think this website helped with our group project
Children are best raised by a mother and a father who are in a committed relationship, like marriage. It’s been that way for thousands of years, and attempts to do social experiementing with children in the name of political correctness is absurd.
james: You didn’t read the article. I addressed that point at the top of the post.
Probabilityzero,
The literature you and your cohorts site is absurd. 97% percent of the population is “hetro” therefore 97% of all adoptable children are “hetro”. If a child is placed in a gay household, the surroundings will send confusing messages that will, in time, lead the child to act on homosexual feelings, that most people have at sometime in their lives, and possibly damage the childs self image. There is a natural level of homosexuals in the population and they should be accepted and loved for who they are. But to place a heterosexual child in a homosexual house hold is just as wrong as trying to convert a person to a different sexuality.
I was raised in a completely heterosexual community and I turned out gay. Weird huh? According to Ben’s logic, I would have became heterosexual since I was raised in a heterosexual environment. Yet, I still developed feelings for other guys without ANY exposure to ANY sort of homosexuality. Sexuality is something that developed within me naturally and was not influenced dramatically by any outside forces.
If I were to adopt a child with another man (which I can’t right now because I’m too young…I’m still in school) I would never impose my sexuality on my children or “convert” them. I’ll just say “if you’re straight, that’s cool. If you’re gay, that’s cool too. I don’t care what gender you like.” As long as they know that they are loved no matter what, I’ll be happy.
I do not know if I articulated my point as much as I wanted to. All I can say to Ben is, your statement is very ignorant. =)
i think that if someone wants to be gay then that is their decision.
im all for gay marriage and gay adoption im straight myself but very pro gay etc im even doing my dissertation for uni on gay adoption and harm to the child here my findings there is NO harm at all to the child its the whole nature nurture debate its in a persons nature if they are gay or not , NOT the way they were brought up!!!!! this is a birtish girls views mind you not american i just dont see why people are so against it as long as the child has a loving safe secure environment then whats the problem!
Pingback: Gay marriage remains banned in California | Talking in Circles
there is no logic behind the ” if they live with the gays they will turn out gay” statment. same sex couples have not been allowed to adopt only until recent years, which means the millions of gays that there are were raised in hetrosexual households. being raised by gays does not insure that they will come out gay. people want to claim that by giving the gays the right to adopt it will emotionally/mentally disturb the child but they act as if waiting for a loving and willing parent to take you away while you wait in a foster home isnt damaging to ones mind. cmon people

i am doing a debate in my ethics class on gay and lesbian adoption.this article is exactlly what i want to say finaly i found someone with an opinion, and an awsome one at that!u rock and have helped me find a way to say what i think. i completly agree that 2 same sex parents are better than the parents the child had at birth these people actually want the child and will love them probly more than any other couple b/c they had to bust their ass longer and harder to get this child. peace out:)!
in the Bible is states it plainly that man and another man is totally wrong as with girl and girl.
so its totally going against the Bible first of all and second God intended for man and women to be together
he didnt make adam and john, he made adam(man) and out of adam he made Eve(women) if he wanted to be man and man or women and women he would have made that from the beginning!
Propabilityzero – you’re such a freaking ignorant saddistic freak. You want them poor children to be massacred by those perverts. I always knew that atheists are somewhat unadopted to the society, but what you show by yourself… It’s disgusting. That’s what I say – and believe me, I’m not the only one.
i think its better for a child to have parents no matter if the couple is gay or straight. if the child will be loved and taken care of whats the problem? if children didnt get adopted they will become angry with the world and could start a life of violence. now ask yourselves would it be better for a gay couple to love and care for a child, or have that child grow up without a family and most likely become a criminal? the safer way to go is to let them adopt the child.
i agree 100% with homosexual adoption, every child in this world deserves to have a family, love, and home. there is NO reason to ,make homosexual adoption as a wrong action. and i have to agree with -renise- the statement “if they live with the gays they will turn out gay” is completely wrong from my opinion, because, it does not depended on the parents if you will become gay or not eventually, it is most likely to be dependent on the surroundings the kid is living in, i mean friends, school, town, anything related. even if the child will be gay eventually, it does not mean he is weird, different, or anything that can come up, he/she is a human being, that just have a different life style, i do not see anything wrong with this. any lifestyle is 100% depended on the child, NOT on his parents; as long as the child is staying a loving home and a family, there is nothing to be worried about, as he will grow up, it is his choice.
Set aside feelings or emotions, if at all possible and look at the facts. The first argument for homosexual adoption is “it would be better to have them out of the orphanages,” or any parent is better than no parent. The number of children in the adoption system has nothing to do with the restrictions of homosexual adoption. Example, how is it two registered nurses, well adjusted highly respected in both their personal and professional worlds are denied the ability to adopt. Why? Answer, one of them recived a DUI 15 years ago. The charge was cleared from their record after completing every court ordered program. Aside from that, there has never been another incident on their record. The system is broken, not because gays cannot adopt but because it is hard for anyone to adopt. Argument number two, “i see nothing wrong with homosexual parents, they are good people good parents and the kids turn out just fine.” True, homosexual parents can raise children in a physically healthy environment, providing for all of their physical needs, but a child in a homosexual household will ALWAYS be lacking in mental and emotional development. Counter argument: “Well children in a heterosexual home lack in emotional development as well.” True, but not ALWAYS. Children in heterosexual homes have a chance of growing up fully emotionally and mentally adjusted. Children of homosexual families, by default are lacking. Point: The nuturing of both a mother and father has ALWAYS been necessary to a child’s development. In a homosexual household one piece will ALWAYS be missing. Counter argument: “Two men or two women do just fine, you don’t always need both.” Point: You try it. Single parents are not good for a child. My mother was a single parent and did the best she could but she could never have done better than a well adjusted heterosexual couple. I grew up primarily without a father, i needed one, but found myself lacking that influence. In a homosexual household the child will always have that disadvantage. Two of the same part does not make up the other half. Side argument: “Homosexuality is not influenced by nuturing or environment, it develops naturall.” FACT: To date their has been no scientific evidence to prove or even theorize that homosexuality is a completely natural occuring phenomenon within humans. Darwins laws on the success or continuation of a species states that in order for a species to be successful the species must be able to procreate, homosexuality is unnatural. Even if there was a homosexual gene it would never survive and would be bred out do to the nature that homosexuals cannot naturally procreate.
This is quite long and I have given an opignion to a select few coments, I would apreciate it if you cauld all read them and keep an open mind. If you would like to discuss about any comments I have posted please email me at () .
Ashley; Ashley, no religion or beleif should fit in this conversation as we alredy know acording to the bible homosexuality is moraly wrong. I personally beleive in everything and nothing, I keep my mind open to all posibilities but I will NOT comit myself to one religion or beleif without 100% proof behind it. Faith if you ask me is something a person has planted in their minds to the point of triking themselves subconciously into basing themselves on a (story). This topic cauld go on forever and I would love to hear all of you’re points and views, maybe a little debate were you cauld enlighten me.
Tiffany Tomblin; Althouhg this may not be important I feel compelled to say that a homosexual, bisexual, lesbian or any other word for it does not (chose) to be attracted to the same sexe, it is the way they are born, they can not change it. It is not always a want but a must because of the way they are born. I am bisexual because I am attracted to both women and men, not one more than the other and I have (expiremented) with both. If I had to chose I would (want) to not be bisexual and be straight, I have tried for two years and only recently have I accepted the fact that I am attracted to both, all this to say that you can not change what sexuality you are attracted to and neither do you decide or want.
Flijoy; Society, what a dumb word used just to say that if you aren’t like the rest, you aren’t accepted. Flijoye, society is becoming a blend of everything imaginable and that is a dramatic change, some go against religion, culture, tradition, no matter. The ones stuck in the past are the ignorant ones, the ones who can not accept or keep an open mind to this change. We are one earth on one planet and we have all contributed to what it has turned into, to the changes going on. I understand that everyone has an opignion but is it really fair to say that someones opignion is discusting when you’re own opignion and mind is not willing to open up and gather what knowledge these changes bring? That is all I have to say about the ignorant ones…
James; Things change, no matter how long they have been going on for… Whether the mother and father or father and father or mother and mother are in a comited relationship, I do not think it will make much of a difference, there are still devorces like there are breakups, my parents were maried and got a devorce, I do not see you’re point in the parents comitment to their relationship to a child life or growth. If I understood this corectly (wich I probably don’t and am about to sound dumb
) , child adoption by gay parents is not an experiment in the name of political correctness but simply a fact that homosexual parents can save a child from being raised in an orphanege and probably not having the nescesities a child needs to grow and live in the future but not only that it is also a chance for the homesexual couple to have an ordanarie – ( Ugh… I hate that word) life by raising a child.
Ben; I do not agree with that at all. I apreciate that you are so open minded and even open to that fact that homosexuals should be treated as any other human being. My point is that I do not see how you can think that the surondings (wich only consist of having same sexe parents) can push them into any kind of homosexual acts. Now if you say that everyone in one point in their life have homosexual feelings is it not their choise to chose wether or not to act on it and if they do, who says that it was not a simple phase that will pass or a feeling brouhgt on by rejection of the same sexe? I agree that it will keep them open minded and more (willing) to act on these feelings (being raised in this type of household) but if it so happens in everyones life than a little of a (push) in the homosexual direction should not be the penalty for homosexuals to adopt a child. As for you’re last phrase: NOT EVEN CLOSE! Thank you.
My remark on the artical: As for the artical itself, I agree intirely with it, it shows every point and pro and realistic con about homosexual adoption. Now I may only just have graduated grade eight and only 14 years old but I feel very strongly about the gay (comunity) and the rights according to it. Thanks for reading.
Sebastien.
Gay adpotion is wrong because say if 2 men adopted a girl they won’t understand the female development. children need a male and female role model.
There is a reason homos shouldn’t adopt do you want kids to be picked on teased and looked down upon because they have homosexual parents seriously its wrong its hard on a child growing up having to be picked on for that bullshit think about what you fucking put that child throw win having to same sex people maried or adopting this is complete bullshit who ever is agrees with this bullshit needs to be hung or shot or kicked off the face of the earth god made adam and eve not adam and steve dumb asses
Everything is wrong with gay adoption and gay in gereral. You peopole are trying to pass being gay off as being socially acceptable…news for you – ITS NOT!!! 10 years ago people who were gay usually never showed it, and even if they did they didn’t go around shoving their ***** up peoples @$$ in front of everyone. It is just not right. Gay is just a copout for socially awkward people who cant get a girl…pure and simple. And for the very few people who truely are psycholocically homosexual, they have an exception, but everyone else who wants easy acception, GAY IS NOT THE ANSWER. I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOU IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE GAY!!! And now a days MOST people CHOOSE to be gay.
Thost true gays have my full support – as long as they don’t get married
God, Kings of Kings, Abba Father!
He is the one who died for you once, and even came back to life…like a true hero saved
your life! And how do you pay him back?
By becoming gay, and not only that you also choose to adopt kids.
Let me tell you Each year within the United States 127,000 children are adopted. After an adoption takes place there is no legal difference between a child born in a family and one who is adopted. If the law does not create divergence between kids, why must we change this by granting homosexuals the privilege of adopting? The world’s major religions, social science, observation and common sense proclaim that children have a better contingency to flourish in a married, heterosexual family. There are no reasons that support the idea of abducting from children the opportunity of having a traditional and healthy family style instead of making a cultural statement.

Ashley, my comment to you is that if god “created” us, every part of us then he created the part of us that tells people whom they are attracted to right…. so believe the bible fable but open your mind and understand that all LGBT’s want is to love and live just like you. They don’t want to restrict anyone from their own happiness they would just like the same opportunities. The bible says that it is ok to judging and pushing away one of gods children? Now that does not seem right…. everyone gets one life to live as long as your not physically harming me keep on keeping on is the motto that everyone should have.
wat the fuck these people are stupid.
y would you ever put a kid in a gay home where people are gona make fun of u for them i mean wat is wrong with you…. u people need some help… gays are gona take over and then fuck us all in the butts… tht wont be fun… so NO MORE GAY
Since everyone else seems to be expressing their opinions, I think I’ll do the same.
This article is utter rubbish – at least, the content is. The way and style it has been written clearly shows a homosexual author behind the scenes who has some talent with words.
There is nothing wrong with having an homosexual orientation – there is everything wrong with ‘gay adoption’. I can understand that for two homosexuals, the desire to create a ‘normal’ family might be strong, and yet surely for an adopted child this family is more alien than anything else? I’ve had a friend who was brought up in the city orphanage and who although embarrassed at his situation, at least could say that he had a mother figure and a father figure in his life. Supposing he had been adopted by two homosexual men – he may have had little or no contact with the female species of the human race throughout his childhood and (to quote an phrase from the article) “there’s plenty of research” which shows that young men are more aggressive if they have no female influence on their life. (Please, do not get me wrong – I am not insinuating that women have a calming influence).
There is the argument which you’ll probably expect me to use – the whole ‘gay parent means gay child’ argument. Firstly, it might pain you to hear this but it’s true. Children who have grown up in a household where homosexuality is the norm. can hardly be expected to think otherwise, and therefore are more susceptible to a change of orientation. Sexual orientation never used to be too much of a problem, and yet nowadays I see young men questioning their own sexuality – ‘experimenting’ is the phrase I believe they use – because they are unsure. I believe firmly that it is natural for young men and women to have some urge to ‘experiment’ with same-sex relationships because that is the way we have allowed them to grow up. This is wrong and incredibly damaging. I recently met a young lady who has previously only had female relationships and was utterly distressed because she now felt that she was hetero. – if we had not been so neglecting of our children and thoughtless as to prevent them from being influenced and ultimately hurt through our own actions, we could have prevented this.
I realise that this may not be your own perspective – I implore you then to see sense. If it was natural, then humans would have evolved along with other creatures to reproduce through same-sex intercourse.
Can I end here with begging the author of this article to read up more and inform themselves on the Christian faith. I am not a Christian myself, but the way you have written about the ‘Christian fundies’ is unnecessarily rude and insulting. Gay marriage is irrelevant here – even more so because marriage is a Christian doctrine which is a bond between the two people and their God. Why any non-Christian would want to marry is beyond me, and why any homosexuals should want to marry shows ignorance and a lack of common knowledge.
Good day.
i am spanish and u anti gays are fuckly dumb or something worse.you just don t know what is 2 be in a orphanage. you re bark is worse than you re bite, & i hate u your anti gays and all of u who r just ignorants.it isn t even your problem u suck!racistswe are all equal is like if you d have no cock but a…you know i wouldn t hate u,wouldn t think you re defectuous why can t you be happy if someone else is,i know why, because you re nothing but shit and know, sorry for all i ve said PEACE!
So, I am doing a paper on gay adoption and came across this site. I gotta admit I love how some love to say that if you are raised by straight people you turn out straight, but honestly how the hell do gay people exsist then? I grew up in a straight area, very catholic family, and all but in the unfortunate-for-them event I turned out to be a lesbian. Oh my, did I just say that I am a lesbian who was not raised by gay parents? WOW the world is definitely ending… Anyways, I believe that gay couples should have the right to adopt and it is wrong for people to oppose it because it affects children negatively when in the unfortunate event many children (adopted or biological) have parents who are straight that don’t give a rats ass…
Ok really people? i mean come on you all are saying it is better for an orphaned kid to grow up without either a mother or a father! My parents are not divorced, but about 15 of my friends parents are. They now have step parents and/or their parents “boy/girlfriend.” And they can usaully not stand the step parent, and are “emotionally disable!!” Then there are the other 12 who only have one parent. Lets face we live in a world were most of us grow up with one parent or a step parent, i see no reason to deny a kid who has NO HOME, NO LOVING MOTHER OR FATHER, NO PLACE THEY CAN SAY “THAT’S MY HOME TOWN,” nothing…and yet we sit here and try to decide what’s best for them?!?!? Why not let them chose. If they are too young well then they don’t care bc if they grow up in a “Homo” family then they will be more opened mined. I am a Hispanic Girl living in America. I was born in the U.S.A and i personally believe that if you have ever been treated differently than a WHITE MALE than you should feel some sympothy for gays and lesbians, they are human. and whether you all choose to believe it or not the world is cahnging. I give it another 10 (if even that) years and gays will be treated just like black people are now treated EQUALLY after slavery was abolished (which by the way the “BIBLE” was againts slavery) and just like women are now being treated EQUALLY next to men ( God made women for men’s sides to be EQUAL not to be lower than men.) You all can sit there and pass JUDGEMENT against homos but then again isnt the BIBLE against Judgement? Oh and while im at it Deuteronomy 22.21 says “she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you. ” ANd yet you do not see people running around stoning women who have been “promiscuous.” Maybe everyone who is AGAINST gay adoption adn FOR the BIBLE, maybe you should reread it. Isnt God all MERCIFUL and PURE LOVE? Yes HE made everyone just the way they are so shove your “GOD MADE MAN AND WOMAN TO LOVE EACH OTHER” GOD made EVERYONE!!! Including HOMOSEXUALS!!! DUH!!!
Very pointless banter going on here, i suppose thats why i am writting this. No-one is going to change their point of view on this forum. If you are for gay/lesbian then nothing said here will change your mind. If you think think that it is wrong, nothing said here will change your mind. The commonality here is that each person is saying what they feel, assume, believe or think is right. The main question you need to ask yourself is there absolute truth (if you say there is no absolute truth then you automatically say that everybody has their own sense of truth. This means that everybody is right. What happens when everybody in a room feels that they are “right” and know the “right” thing to do, you get chaos. Think carefully about what im saying and dont just throw it away.) In this world we are living there is absolute truth. There things that are right and there are things that are wrong. It all depends on what authority you base your right and wrong. Base it on your own understanding (as most people do) you will lead to chaos as mentioned before. The key here is to find that authority which does not change, is good, just, fair, equal and is based on Love as the key factor. Once you have discovered that authority, TEST IT. Is it real, are there facts and proof. Is it man-made or God-inspired (again, man-made leads to corruption, bais and lies). If it is God-inspired, Test It!
Why all this talk about God if we talking about Gay and Lesbian adoption, because it depends on your who is your authoritive reference. Is it yourself, or God’s point of view. (some will say the Bible is a fable, false and full of contridictions, Go find out if it is true. The Qu’ran, find out! Dont be stupid, dont be ignorrant. Do not claim to know the answers to questions and base them upon your life experiences or others experiences. Use fact. You may have a College degree but can still be blind to what is going on in this world.)
Once you have discovered where absolute truth lies you will better be able to answer almost all questions concerning life and how it should be lived, because it is not based on you or anyone else, but based on truth. Truth tha is, was and always will be there.
There’s plenty wrong with Gay Adoption. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate or even dislike homosexual people. A lot of them are wonderful human beings. But, that point aside, they should not be allowed to adopt children. For the following reasons:
1. It’s completely unnatural.
2. It denies a child that right to both a mother and a father.
3. Just because a homosexual man acts feminine or a lesbian woman acts masculine does not make them a woman or a man, respectively. Nor does it equip them to understand male or female issues (i.e. a girl getting her period would not be understood by two homosexual males and they would not be equipped to handle the situation).
4. It destroys the importance of traditional family. The building blocks of any society.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS
i am doing a research paper on gay adoption & i am very for it. i understand why people believe that it is wrong. thats just the way that they were brought up. i was raised to believe that all people deserve a loving family. to me, i dont think that it matters if the parents are the same-sex. it shouldnt have to be like that! i understand that this is the way it has been for thousand of years, but understand, the nobody is trying to “corupt” or society. i believe in God & i am fully aware of what is in the bible. but just because of the ways it’s technically “supposed to be” a man, & a women dosent mean it HAS to be. your moral issues & beliefs should never stop you from believeing what you acually want. & if you honestly think about it why you think thats it’s wrong, it could be your beliefs, or religion, or because you think its gross. well welcome to the real world, SEX IS GROSS. it should not matter if its between two “sticks” or two “holes”
love, is love . i think it is time for society to stop juding people.
the world is always saying how we need to stop judging people. heres the first step; ACCEPT GAYS & LESBIANS .
Homosexuality was labeled as a mental disorder in the 70′s. It was taken out due to public pressure, not because they think they are sane. Transgendered ppl & homos are mentally ill in todays era. In 2011, the American Psychiatric Association, contrary to all the media hype over the past few years, reclassified homosexuality as a mental illness.
Keep in mind that the implicit classification of the homosexual lifestyle as a mental illness is still retained by the American Psychiatric Association. This allows the individual psychiatrist to decide for themselves whether they will treat homosexuality as a mental illness. Note that, as of this update, October 21, 2011 2:36 PM CST, 75% of American psychiatrists and 74% of the world’s psychiatrists continue to regard the homosexual lifestyle as a mental illness. A study found a higher prevalence of various psychiatric disorders in homos compared with heteros, both regarding the preceding 12 months as well as on a lifetime basis. These differences seem to be gender specific with a higher prevalence of substance use disorders in homo women & a higher prevalence of mood & anxiety disorders in homo men, both compared with their hetero counterparts.
Homosexuality is absolutely against a human beings original spirituallity. One man one women produce children and children always seek out the love of a mother and father (they would most like it to be the ones who created them). Why do people have such conflict about homosexuality? It represents a denial of the very essense of what a person is. There is help and homosexuality can be overcome with help from the right people.
The BIG difference is that hetero relationships are responsible for bringing life into the world. After bringing life into the world through a loving hetero act, a continued & dedicated monogamous partnership strives, often through hardship & great sacrifice, to ensure that the resulting baby becomes a good member of society who will also continue the family line through the same means. Love takes no consideration for gender, but appropriate expressions of love do.
Bringing life into the world deserves a great deal of reverence by society. That’s why it’s regulated & protected via anti-sodomy, age-of-concent, and marriage laws. Wisdom has value.
Thanks for the article. Great reference for my paper. Reading through the comments I see a common theme. Many people who appose this have really poor grammatical skills. Ignorance is… Comical, and I laughed at some of the “bible thumpers”. I was raised by two women for most of my life. I am a successful person both mentally and physically. I hope that people will some day come to realize that the bible is one of the greatest stories of all time. Just like Twilight or Harry Potter. An epic book of stories that lead a great number of people for a many number of years. It makes me sad to think that people actually believe having two mothers or two fathers is an ‘evil’ or ‘un-nutrual’ occurrence. I love my parents.
In my profession, I’ve worked with several same-sex parents’ children (mostly children conceived through sperm donor and surrogacy, not many via adoption thus far). I agree that two parents raising a child is better than one parent– certainly better than the state raising a child! There are many loving, gay parents who do not impose a genderless, gay-indoctrinating agenda on their children. I have noticed, however, in most gay relationships, one partner assumes a more masculine role, the other, a feminine or motherly role. Could it be that we all spiritually and instinctively know that this is the best design for the family?
It is funny because this article use the worst to legitimate homosexual adoption .Rather than using a logical arguments to legitimate gay adoption he states that because nothing is perfect gay parents should adopt.This is the worst argument ever as it shows that homosexuality needs a broken world to prove its legitimacy for adoption.
I don’t see how a father can replace a mum and a mum a father that is why a child need both ,as referent first and committed advising loving parents, a Mum and a father.Parents is a full time job and I don’t see an homosexual parent(male and female) calling his best friend(male or female) to advice his /her daughter/son every time needed and to play the role of the missing parent. the truth is that There is enough heterosexual couple waiting for adoption so we don’t even need to raise this issue.
what strike me is that this argument about adoption even exist. The desire to adopt by homosexual is just a selfish desire who doesn’t take into account the full interest of the child .
