Sometimes i think it's wrong, a child must have both man and woman as parents in their lives. On the other hand, so many kids live in an orphanage and haven't got either of them... what's your opinion?

So, if you believe that quote "a child must have both man and woman as parents", then how do you feel about women getting artificially inseminated to have a baby! A child needs guidance / love / structure / consistency / the ability to reach his and/or her highest potential! I think all gay couples should adopt and get this world thinking a little bit differently...God made people / gays / white / black / Hispanic...

What??? I cannot believe these comments. Parents who happen to be gay are just fine. Sorry to clue you in but the kids will not be messed up in any way if adopted by a gay couple. Kids in orphanages have lower IQs because most of the brain development occurs within the first three years of life and kids in orphanages are not stimulated. Parents who happen to be gay must really want to be parents. Why deprive anyone of this?

Of course it is ok. I am lesbian and am a mom of 2 beautiful children, and am raising them with my partner of 4 years. We have more love and laughter and support for them than MANY families I see- either single moms or hetero couples who fight and scream and have addictions or other problems in their homes.
What more can you ask for then 2 loving parents? As for the kids being embarrassed or bullied- mine haven't ever been yet and they are 9 and 13. And they are honest with their friends. There is NOTHING wrong with 2 people who love each other. Many kids get teased and bullied- kids don't really need an excuse. They can pick on them for being fat, skinny, short, tall, black, white or purple!
any family that can love and raise a child should be allowed to do so.

I think the ideal is for a child to be brought up by male and female (to me preferably married) couple - it is the way nature designed us as parents and lots of studies show there can be great benefits. However, I would much rather see a child happy and fulfilled with a gay couple than left in care. I have lots of gay friends, so am not anti-gay, but I just think the male-female partnership is more natural for parenting. Interestingly, quite a few of my gay friends have agreed with me on this. So, I wouldn't say it was wrong, just not ideal and that straight (and again, married, as it shows commitment) couples should be given preference.
I hope I haven't offended anyone with this view, it is just how I feel.

That kid will probably be treated better and grow up better and more understanding of people's differences that Mr Joe Redneck who hates everyone and every other racist and sexist in the world. it all comes down to parenting, not man and woman. Almost everyone gets divorced anyways, and kids end up living with mom for a week then dad for a week. that is what is unbalanced in the world. Two caring parents are all children need, not part-time parents that most get.

Look at all the single parents raising kids out there. I was raised with only a mother in my life and turned out just fine. My father seen me all of 4 times in my life. I think if a gay couple wants to adopt they should be allowed to as long as they treat the child in a good way, but I think that with anyone not just gays.

I'm always against what society thinks is the norm, so I'd say if a gay couple wants to adopt a child, than great. Just because they are gay, dont mean the child will be, and to each its own anyway. As long as the child is taken care of and is not mistreated, I say enjoy life.

The sexuality of the parent should not even come into the equation, a child needs to be loved and cared for whatever the sexual preferences of the parents if the parent has close friends to help with the Childs upbringing all the better for that child, even parents in different sex partnerships can mess the child up.

Why is it wrong? Even if they are gay, they can still love the child. This is much better than the child living in an orphanage and having no one to love them. Thats all that matters.

If they can provide a good life for the child, i think its a great idea. If you're able got give a child a life they normally wouldnt have been able to have i think everyone should do that. Providing they live a stable life and have the love to give.
My friends sister is gay and her and her girlfriend have 2 beautiful little girls. The one was impregnanted thru a sperm bank and both girls are from the same doner. They have a great life and are undoubtably loved and know more ways to love than the average child.
I am ALL FOR IT!
