To gay men: When in a committed relationship are you/would you be more prone to?

Question

adopting a female or male child?

just in i am asking a honest question what could I possibly be leading too? If you didn't want to answer then why did you bother you are reported.

and by the way I said gay men not gay women so get your mind out of things that don't apply to you.

just in you are reported again stop trying to inflate more to my question then there is.

I would like to thank all of the men who responded.

thanks skeff(sp) that is what I am trying to do.

the reason I adressed it to gay men is simply because I am a woman so by nature I know that two females more than likely would not care what sex they adopt. But my speculation was that men would more than likely not adopt females because females are harder to raise by two men then a boy would be. That's mostly because of period's and things that mostly only a woman would know about. But no I am not try to offend anyone.

Evan you have been reported for point gaming if you were not going to answer the question then why did you bother. REPORTED

Answer 1

My biological child is a female.....I think if i were going to adopt the gender wouldn't really matter.....just whatever child might need a home.

Answer 2

I suspect that any same sex couple is more likely to adopt a child of the same sex. Men can relate to being little boys and women can relate to being little girls.

Families that adopt more than one often will adopt both sexes.

Answer 3

I would probably be more prone to adopting a male child simply because I could probably deal with raising a boy better than I could a girl.

Answer 4

I'm just curious as to why you addressed this to gay men and not to lesbians as well. I see why one of the responses would feel like this was a leading question along with some hidden implications. I hope that's not the case and that this is simply a genuine curiosity question.

Answer 5

That's a leading question if I EVER heard one!

Oh, and just so you know...many gay men actually have BIOLOGICAL children.

Just as many LESBIANS have biological children.

In that, we don't CHOOSE.

Most children adopted by gays/lesbians...aren't chosen for their gender!

GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!

You should be ashamed of your poorly veiled attempt to correlate homosexuality with pedophilia.
It's an ignorant statement to even suggest. Try learning some facts before you make up leading questions like this.

Answer 6

Absolutely not either. One of the many blessings of being gay is freedom from the biological burden of breeding, and the mewling, puking, pooping, screaming, needing-attention-all-the-time piles of selfishness known as "babies." Ugh. If I weren't queer I'd put my sack in the microwave to make sure I was sterile.

Can you tell I don't like kids?

Luckily, my man doesn't either, so I'm safe from that discussion.

Answer 7

I would adopt a boy for the simple reason, I would be more comfortable with a boy...you are right the whole dealing with periods and puberty...but if I got a girl I got a girl...I would deal with it...

Answer 8

I have two daughters and three sons, and partner has had a daughter ivf with a lovely lesbian couple.

i guess id say girl...but we would have do do another extention to the house,I would happily adopt but couldnt deal with rennovating again

Answer 9

either for me, but Im in Florida, adoption for gays is against the law, so really unless the law changes, or I move out of state, its not an issue
wouldn't mind getting a surrogate though

Answer 10

That's actually an interesting question. But it would be even more interesting to see a comparison between different groups, such as: gays, lesbians, heterosexual couples, and even break it down into heterosexual men and women - of differing religious beliefs
