Definitely! Many kids need a good, loving home environment. Those against gay couples adopting use the excuse that a child needs both a father and a mother to be raised properly; however, look at all the people being raised by single parents. What a lame excuse! Furthermore, sexuality isn't learned from parents. I'm gay. I certainly didn't "learn" it from Mom and Dad.

I think so . Gay men and women have a lot to offer a child , If they have the love to give and a caring nature . I have a good fiend who is a foster parent with his Partner . They have given their home and time and love to their son . This kid was a problem to place with other people . He would always act out , get lousy grades when he was capable of doing much better . He started to hang with some really bad kids and got himself arrested . They took on the challenge and after a little discipline , lots of hard work , helping him with his grades and working with his teachers , and giving him lots of love and a little compassion he is now a straight A student and a well adjusted and loving young man . He will tell anyone that ask that his two dads are two best things that ever happened to him . Oh in case you are wondering he is a straight and has a cute girlfriend .

Sure. I think homosexuality is something ur born with, so if that's the case, u cant spread it. They might be good parents. I bet one of Rosey O'donnels's kids will be straight(wouldn't it be funny if it was her partner's biological child?).There are so many straight parents that are REALLY bad parents, who's to say a gay person won't be a good one? It's about the kids, so sexuality should be out of the picture, and when the time comes for mommies or daddy's to explain why they like girls, or boys, they will do it as best they can. I mean, it couldn't've been easy for the parents when THEY found out they were homo, so atleast they can share in that shocking feeling when kids come and ask.

This answer comes from my existence. i'm a lesbian. I have given beginning to 4 large children and followed one. i trust that each and each and every man or woman honorable compassionate adults should be allowed to love and take care of children that are in decrease than optimal circumstances. i trust that's our accountability to take care of the smaller ones. even as not a qualified foster figure, I have had many many youthful ones run to my domicile for protection and look after, some stay an hour. some stay an afternoon. some stay years. i trust that each and each and every man or woman adults ought to go by a similar rigorous criteria, gay or instantly. the base line is..sure, I do trust that a qualified gay or lesbian couple may do an outstanding pastime for the unlucky little youthful ones,

Why not? I think the biggest argument against it is that it will cause "emotional problems" for the child, but the truth is that children can't choose their parents for the most part. I am far more concerned with abusive parents than homosexual parents. And many foster/adopted children are allowed to "sign off" on their parents. The child knows that they'll grow up with two mothers or two fathers, and they accept it because for them its not about gender, it's about love.

I maintain that homosexuality isn't a learned behavior, that being the case, I don't see any problem with homosexuals being foster parents. It's not like they are trying to 'convert' children to gayness or anything afterall. I think it would be a good idea to do a phycological study to find out the effects of homosexual parenting. It would be worth finding out about I think.

Why not? There are kids being sent from one lousy foster home to another or living in institutions because they can't find a home. Why not place them with loving parents of any orientation?

i think that they should be able to. we should really be worried about those foster parents who are abusive or are addicts are alcoholics. kids deserve love and support. gay people are capable of giving kids the home life they deserve, no matter what some people might say.

Yes definitley. Love is love. It's going to be less traumatic than getting spat out the end of a care system, into the big bad world
