I am doing a research for speech and I was ask to write about gay people adopting children. What do you think and why.

A big yes! They should comply with the guide lines that they can offer a stable home, personal references and the desire to raise a child. What difference does it make if they are of the same sex.
I know several people who grew up with gay parents & none of them are gay. There are to many children who need homes. If someone is loving enough and able to care for them, why not let them.

Of course gay people should be able to adopt children. Those children will have a loving home and would know for certain that they were wanted. There is no such thing as an unwanted pregnancy with a gay couple. And the people who make the argument that a child needs a male and a female as parents, do they advocate that a widow(er) should have their children taken away from them if they don't immediately remarry? A child just needs a loving home to thrive and flourish which can happen anywhere not just in heterosexual homes.

Having a spouse or a kid is a personal choice, and people who choose to live an independent life style are no way less important- but if someone who wants a kid or a family and is denied that opportunity- they’ll only turn against society. Human beings tend to be mentally and emotionally more stable and less harmful to society, when they have family, personal support- it comes from parents when you’re a kid and friends until they aren’t tied up with their own families. Most of us need someone to hold onto- someone to live for. Irrespective of being gay or not, a person with a spouse, and/or children will respect and co-operate with the society, and denying this right is inviting social disintegration.

I just think that for the better good of humans, heterosexual relationships should be encouraged more than gay (same-sex) ones.
In other words, our genes have to keep mixing up so that we become a stronger, more diverse and more capable of acheiving better things for the whole planet.
As history has told us, when trying to go against nature or even tempering with it - as it's the case for cloning (that's a totally different debate but I thought I'd mention it here just for the sake of it), as all men have sperm and all women have wombs, give or take the 'point-zero' or something percentage of unfortunate infertile & 'inerectile' bunch, the results for the majority can only be adversive.

Yes. A child needs loving parents and there is no reason that gays and lesbians couldn't do the same as heterosexuals. The only difference is that they would need to get someone of the opposite sex involved so that there can also be a father/mother figure in the child's life.

Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to adopt a kid?
Because they are gay somehow that equates to they are able to love a child less? Do you know how many gay people out there long for a child and are unable to have one because of some cracked out ideology that because they love someone of the same sex, that makes them an unfit parent?
Go tell that to the child of a heterosexual couple that is ignored by their parents in favour of a career.
Go tell that to the child of a heterosexual couple that abused by a drunken father or mother.
Go tell that to the child being raised on the streets by him/herself because Mommy and Daddy are too self absorbed to raise their own kid.
And you're telling me that simply because a person chooses to love someone of the same sex, they have less of a right to have a child?

yes, make that a hell yes gay people should be able to adopt children. To say that someone would be a good parent because they have relations with one sex and not another is plain crazy. My parents were very straight and they were very crazy, I would rather have had good gay parents any day

According to what I have heard and read, there seems to be no serious reason why gays shouldn't be able to adopt. The only objections seem to come from religions. But our countries should not be governed by exclusively religious principles. We have freedom of religion.

Let's think about this... The child had heterosexual parents (obviously or how else would he have been conceived). These folks either chose not to keep the child or were deemed incapable of caring for him/her. Along comes a homosexual couple who can provide a loving home for the child.
So lets see, who would be better? The incapable heterosexual couple? Or the qualified homosexual couple? hmmm....

yes they shold have to right to adopt children. They are people just like everyone else. Just because of their sexual preference doesnt mean they are not capable of being parents. Many gay people are better parents then heterosexual people out there.
