Well I was against it at first but I was talking to a gay friend I knew way back in school I seen her in the store,first time I seen her in years, she started talking about how her and her girlfriend adopted a boy, her face was glowing and I could tell that she loved this boy, she showed me pictures, she was so happy.. so now I'm look at the whole thing differently but still confused....but all that matter is love right?

I think that if you are in a loving commited relationship children are a wonderful addition. I hope that your friend and her girlfriend have a great relationship and love that baby to death. Well you know what I mean. I am very happy for them and wish them the best.

I think it's great. It is just a matter of love. There are so many children without homes. People say homosexual relationships are wrong and cause so much damage but what about the divorce rate at almost fifty percent in the US? I feel those children have just as many problems if not more. I do not see why it's better for a single parent to adopt opposed to a gay couple. I do think it's just a matter of love in a relationship. During the adoption process they have parents foster the child and are constantly checking up on the stability of the home. Obviously if gay couples couldn't pass that then they have no room adopting or having children just like a heterosexual couple. It's a matter of love and stability--if a heterosexual or homosexual couple can pass it I say go for it!

You got it...all that matters is love. If the African cultures say "it takes a village" to raise a kid, why would anyone dare say parents can only be a mom and dad? Parents can be anyone who just showers the child with love and affection. My best friend was raised by lesbians who have been together for 30 years, and she is THE most open and compassionate person ever. However, it is important for the child to have a male role in their lives if the parents are lesbians, or a female role if the parents are men. I do see my friend having a difficult time in relationships with men as an adult, I feel because she has a hard time relating/trusting a man because she's never had a caring, nurturing relationship with an older, male figure that would've taught her to trust a man.

I am always happy to hear about children finding good homes. I see the biggest issue not being the parenting and homelife, but society's difficulty in accepting the fact that two people of the same sex love and care for one another and can be successful in raising a happy and healthy family. I wish people would look past their prejudices, as you have. What a beautiful story.

here in America, we have children without homes and people going to Africa to adopt. why not have Americans adopt Americans? who cares what their sexual preference is? i don't have a problem with anyone adopting from any country. the thing is, why can't/shouldn't gay people adopt? what's the harm?
straight people raise gay kids. why can't a gay couple raise a straight kid? gay people have children everyday. are some people saying that they shouldn't have/raise their own children? well, then, how about any female on government assistance having their children taken away and given up for adoption: it's the same thing.
keep the government out of my bedroom and my family.
the ONLY person allowd here is me , my husband and my family.

I think it's an amazing thing whenever people, regardless of sexual orientation, adopt. There are many millions of children around the world that the majority of those with wealth simply ignore. If anything, I feel like same-sex couples would value their children more than a lot of heterosexual couples bc they actually had to fight to get them in the first place.

If these couples are in a long secure loving relationship and can provide for the baby, I have no problems with that. I know a few gay women who would make very good mothers.

Well...i guess it really doesnt matter because once the child grows up they know that it really isnt' the right thing to do but living with the same sex parents should not make them be gay or lesbian. as long as the child is loved that is all that matters

That wouldn't bother me at all. I would be happy if they adopted a special needs kid too.
Yep, the matter is love. Having parents is a blessing, maybe they're going to be great parents.

I know a lesbian couple who take in foster kids and has adopted two. I think that its great. They are just like any other family. They love each other and love their kids. Love is all that matters.
