Is HOMOSEXUAL ADOPTION right or not? Please write your clear answers....Thanx?

Answer 1

Virtually all the relevant authorities support same sex parenting, adoption, etc. Gays and lesbians have been proven to be on the same exact level as heterosexuals when it comes to childrearing.

There is no harm in it. Same sex couples deserve equality. To discriminate against them (and deny a child a loving family) in this matter would be wrong.

Answer 2

There are literally hundreds of thousands of children in the US that never get adopted -- do you really think they're better off in foster care or in institutions than they are with people who will love them and raise them as their own child?

Numerous studies have been done -- it's clear from the results that children (adopted, in-vitro, or other) of homosexual couples are no more likely to be homosexual themselves than any other children are. So the fears of "being raised gay and turning out gay" are baseless -- although I'd be pretty sure that these children would be more tolerant of gays because of their experience, whether they are straight or homosexual.

Of COURSE it's right. As long as the couple meets the same criteria as any other adoptive couple -- financial and relationship stability, able to provide full-time caregiving, etc. -- anyone should be able to adopt a child and give them a loving home.

Answer 3

Of course it is. In fact, I'm more apt to trust a 'gay couple' with my child, than take a chance on a hetero couple.

Why? Well, in my opinion, many 'hetero' couples have more issues than gay couples. As far as working things out, hetero couples choose not to deal with the issue but rather deal with their own hurt at that moment. Gay couples seem 'stronger' in each other having overcome the grief of accepting who they are. Once they've passed that hurdle, the possibilities become endless.

As for the safety of the child, well again in my opinion, hetero couples are not holding the 'greatest record' in child safety. Look at couple of the century - Bernardo and Homolka. Now there was a team made for parenting. NOT. Other families include fathers touching their sons, or sleeping with their daughters. Mothers sleeping with the neighbours sons. This is the trust I want my child to feel if placed in a 'hetero' couples home? I think not.

So back to your question, is HOMOSEXUAL ADOPTION right or not? It is right. Society just has to get over the stigma placed behind homosexuality. Let gay people lead fruitful (no pun intended) and caring lives. Let them share their homes with a child who needs loving care.

Answer 4

It is right!!!! kIds need parents, atleast ONE, and male or female doesn't really matter.

Ideally, kids should have a positive influence from both sexes...ie you are a single mother if you have a male relative who will be a constant in that childs life let 'em.

BUT more important is stability, morals, a sense of being loved, a warm house, and family.

The same reasons straight people cannot adopt should be the only reason gay people cannot adopt.

msboobhead...so the men raping little girls are GAY men?????

Answer 5

I see no harm in letting homosexuals adopt children. I know several who make or would make wonderful parents. They would teach their children tolerance of others and would probably not "push" the child into a sexual orientation of any kind that the child/young adult was uncomfortable with.

Answer 6

I think it's right. How could it be wrong. A child is getting a family and the parents are getting a child they wouldn't be able to make if they wanted to. I think it is a great idea. I'm going to do it when I get older. The only thing that can make it wrong is if the parents neglected the child or didn't care for the child properly when they got him/her.

Answer 7

After having just read about the heterosexual couple that put their 3 week old baby in the microwave, I think that people should be judged only on their ability to be loving and responsible parents, not whether they are Gay or Straight.

Answer 8

As long as the adoptive parents can provide a safe, loving, stable home-they should be able to adopt regardless if they are a gay couple of heterosexual couple.

Answer 9

Yes, it is. As long as the couple is ready emotionally and financially then why not? Many gay couples can provide children with loving, stable homes. It's better for a child to grow up with a loving gay couple for parents than to grow up with dysfunctional straight parents.

Answer 10

Right
