What is your thoughts on a Homosexual adopting children?

Question

I am not asking you to Judge them, just your own personal thoughts........

I personal wonder why they aren't straight if they want children

Do you think this could be the rise in Homosexual teenagers?

Answer 1

Not good

Answer 2

Being Homosexual does not mean you cant be a good parent, just the same if you were left handed. Not all homosexuals are child molesters. The ability to love a child is the ability to be selfless. I am a straight female and would consider adoption before having "my own" child. Adoption is a very unique situation for anyone. How wonderful to be straight or gay and to be able to say to a child. Of all the children in the world...I picked you because I wanted to love and protect you.

All children straight or gay find themselves in their teenage years. You just hear more about the ones who have come to terms with who they are instead of what past generations have done which is denied themselves for fear of repructions

Answer 3

To want children, one ought to be straight? That makes no sense to me. Homosexuals are completely capable of being emotionally and sexually attracted to members of the same sex while AT THE SAME TIME wanting to raise a child or children. The two are not mutually exclussive. It is not necessary to want to have sex with a member of the opposite sex in order to feel paternal or maternal.

I think that ANY decent, qualified person or persons should be permitted to adopt. Children need loving parents. Homosexuals can be and ARE loving parents. It doesn't matter what kind of genitalia they have under their undies. They can teach their children about the world and about life and about humanity just as well as any heterosexual.

Regarding your additional question: there hasn't been a rise in the incidence of homosexuality. There has been an outflux of heightened tolerence and understanding which logicaly leads to less fear and less closeted homosexuals. And no, homosexual parenting doesn't lead to a "rise in homosexuality". Being gay isn't something you teach and it isn't something you instill. It's something you simply ARE or ARE NOT. Some people just don't take as long to recognize it in themselves.

Answer 4

Being a homosexual does not make you a bad person. If a homosexual wants to adpot they should be able to. Besides who says straight people are the best to raise children. Some straight parents have some trully horrible things to thier adoptive children.
When will people wake up and see the truth. Homosexuals are people first and foremost, just like you and me, what we are capable of as people so are they.
Therefore if they want children they should have them if they are able to care for them

Answer 5

I don't know why they are "not straight". If they adopt children, then perhaps the children they adopt will have a wonderful life. What about gay women, who have children through artificial insemination? They raise healthy happy kids. Gay men should be able to adopt children if they choose to.

I don't think that every child born into a "straight relationship"...has a happy, healthy life....probably better that a gay couple who wants a child, should be able to adopt, than that any child should be forced to live in a home that does not want them.

Just an opinion....but "straight people"...aren't always perfect parents.

Answer 6

The answers so far are ridiculous.

What is better, a child with parents or a child with no one?
If you passed away and you had no one to leave your child to, would you rather them be in the state system being passed from home to home with chances of being molested, abused, etc. OR would you rather them be adopted by two loving people who want a child?

Just because they are together does not mean "god does not want them to have children" because they can't. How many strait married couples can't have children? Do you think God wants that? Who is anyone to say what God wants--you are not god.

My god wants love over anything else and especially with children. Just because someone is homosexual does not make them a child abuser or molester and it does not mean the child will be gay either. Kids know what gay means whether they have straight parents or not.

Answer 7

I don't have a problem with it. I know lots of men who like kids and want kids but I don't wonder why they don't just go give birth.

"Gay" can't be taught and pedophilia and homosexuality are two different things. I think way too many people tend to forget that, and that's why there's such a fuss about the whole thing.

I also have to wonder if the whole "if you can't have them, you shouldn't adopt them" thing isn't being thought out quite enough. If God had wanted that woman to have children, wouldn't he have made her capable of reproducing? So should a barren woman be allowed to adopt children? Under that reasoning, only women who can bear their own children should be allowed to adopt. And men would never be allowed to adopt.

Answer 8

i rather see any loving, kind-hearted person (no matter the sexual preference) raise a child in need of care, than to see that child be left in a crazy system for 18 years. of course there will be the issue of whether heterosexual couple should get preference of children over same sex couples (i.e., give all the reject children to the same sex couples). my answer to that is, there are people out there who get paid a lot of money to operate adoption agencies and foster care programs. they should come up with policies that are most beneficial to the children and prospective parents. couples should be interviewed and screened based on the SAME set of criteria. and children old enough should be able to provide input if they want or don't want same sex parents.

either way, no child should be left behind, if there is a person willing to unconditionally love them and provide for them.

Answer 9

Homosexuals adopting is better than straight teenagers having kids. At least with adoption, regardless of sexual orientation, you have to actively want the child. With natural birth, so many are "oops" situations.

Answer 10

There's nothing wrong with two people who want to provide a loving family for a child. Considering the lack of suitable homes for parent-less children these days, maybe people should relax about it. And as far as the argument that homosexuals are more likely to molest their children, or the children will grow up with an unnatural view on life, that's bull. Two people who love each other very much want to share that love with a child and raise them up. There is nothing wrong with that, if you ask me we need a whole lot more love in this world.

Answer 11

If the couple are loving people who would be good parents then I think it would be a good thing. Otherwise a lot of kids will be shifted around in multiple households, or worst be placed in an adoption shelter for years on end.
