Homosexual adoption should it be allowed?

Question

I'm doing a paper on homosexual adoption and i have to choose if i am for it or againist how about you? Are you for it or againist it and why?

Answer 1

While I believe that homosexuals should be allowed to wed one another, I have mixed feelings about the adoption issue.

I believe that it takes the balance of a real man and woman to adequately raise a child. That said, I also must acknowledge that there are far too many examples of "normal" parents that should have been sterilized before they ever conceived.

Ideally I think it should be a man and woman raising a child, but since often times a gay couple can make far better parents, where do we draw the line?

Don't allow them to adopt and potentially deny a child in need of a family two wonderful human beings who would offer a loving home.

Allow them to adopt and risk the child growing up to lean towards being gay as a life option when it may not have come naturally.

See? Very difficult issue. Too bad people don't need to reach some natural level of enlightenment, wisdom, maturity, etc. before being able to conceive.

Answer 2

There are of course good and bad apples in every group. That said I would think that percentage-wise there must be as many bad heterosexual parents as homosexual parents, likely more since for every homosexual parent who adopts adoption was a choice. The same cannot be said of all heterosexual parenting. Just what is it that homosexuals are guilty of that should exclude them from adopting or parenting? The fact that they love someone YOU (not this questioner but the general you) do not approve of? Love is love is love. A rose by any other name....I know some homosexuals I would be thrilled to have parented me.

Answer 3

Adoption by gay couples is allowed in numerous us states. gay couples have been raising infants for some years, wither organic and organic infants, or foster/adoptive teenagers. approximately 10% of the inhabitants is gay. in the event that they are no longer allowed to strengthen infants, it quite is 10% of adults you promptly disqualify from the adoption pool. The couples who choose to undertake are long-term couples, reliable and loving. It seems that childrens raised by gay couples are no plenty extra probably to be gay than different teenagers. (10%) i've got familiar quite some gay couples who have been magnificent dad and mom. Like different adoptive dad and mom, they needed it badly sufficient to bypass in the process the equipment, and that they have got been grateful for what that they had. Homosexuality is a organic and organic undertaking. What gender your better half is relatively has no bearing on your means to strengthen a newborn.

Answer 4

I'm for it. Gay couples are just as capable of providing love and support as straight couples. And anyway, out of my two best friends, I'm the only one who was raised in a 'traditional' family with both my mother and father present- one friend was raised by a single mother, the other by a lesbian mother. I'm the only one of us who ISN'T straight. Huh. Kinda starts debunking that 'homosexual parents raise homosexual kids' tripe.

Anyone who can pass the tests for adoption should be allowed to adopt, and homosexual couples should not be excluded.

Answer 5

Yes it should be allowed, because even a heterosexual couple that adopts a child beats/tortures/molests/etc. To say that a homosexual couple can't adopt a child or children is wrong. You have to think of the best interest of the child or children as the case may be. Some people are against homosexuals adopting children out of plain bigotry insinuating that this gay/lesbian couple will influence a child to be gay/lesbian or that the gay/lesbian couple will molest the child. In fact some gay/lesbian couples are better than some heterosexual couples. For instance in Norwalk, Ohio a heterosexual couple were foster parents and put their autistic foster children in cages. I haven't heard of a gay/lesbian couple doing that. A gay/lesbian household would be just as a loving environment as a heterosexual household. That is why I'm for homosexual adoption of children sometimes they are the best environment for the child or children.

Answer 6

just like adoption is not for every heterosexual couple it is not for every homosexual couple, does that mean that they shouldn't be allowed to adopt, no. I think homosexual couple should be allowed to adopt, since they can provide the same love and support that heterosexual parents can. On the argument of having both a female and a male role model for their children , i say they are millions of single parents homes and they children don't always end up homosexuals. The most important part is the love and support that people can offer to children... and again i believe that homosexual couples can offer than to their children.

Answer 7

I believe that anyone has a right to raise a child if they are capable. Anyone that knows anything about adoption, knows prospective parents are asked millions of questions and scrutinized to every detail. If a gay couple can pass their tests, then yes, they should be allowed to adopt. The key to a good home is love and the ability to provide, not whether it is a normal man-woman home. Gays, as well as single parents, have rights just like everyone else.

Answer 8

Absolutely.
I'm not against it at all. I am for it. Why? Cuz I think gay and lesbian should have the same right to be able to get the things like straight people have. Why there are gaps and differences between gay and straight? Gay and lesbian are still human beings like straight people. They are not animals at all.

Besides, speaking of adoption, there are tons of straight couples out there who really abuse, abandon and neglect their children in a very irresponsible way.
I think gay and lesbian might take care of those abandoned, abused and neglected children, IF straight people cannot deal with their children at all.... Gay and lesbian could be the perfect solution for neglected or abuse victim children everywhere. While those straight people cannot raise and educate their children well even instead abusing them emotionally and physically.... WHY can't gay and lesbian take charge to give care and unconditional love to those child abuse victim children? They could be the part of the solution for all child abuse victim children everywhere by giving them chance to feel real-pure love, even from gay couple, and to ensure those unlucky abused children that they are precious, worthy and lovable.

This is certainly a part of making the world a better place at the end. Cuz our future definitely doesn't rely on the elders, but on all the children everywhere. And if children are abused by straight couples.... can you imagine what the world will look like 100 years from now?

Answer 9

yes, i thing homosexuals should be able to adopt a child because people who are not gay can, and it makes no difference about your sexaul desires, they have nothing to do with the kid. thats like saying you cant adopt a child if you have a fetish for poop or something. even though thats godawful and disgusting as hell, it has nothing to do with raising a child

people need to stop worrying about other peoples sexual preference unless the topic at hand is 'do you want to go out?' or 'do you want to have sex?' those are the only times that i can think of when someone even needs to bring up their sexual preference

plus there have been studies done that show that just because a kids parents are gay, doesnt mean they are going to raise their kid to be gay or raise him in a wrong way, they grow up completely normal, or as normal as the rest of us

and this question goes for the guy who answered before me a few people back named 'Ash'...

are you telling me that if someone had a child and they were a single parent that you would want that child to be taken away from the parent? because thats the logic behind your statement. also you said that why should anyone be able to adopt a child and raise them if they've lived a life of confusion. so basically your saying if anyone has ever had a problem in their life w/ anything major like that that they are unfit to ever raise a child? again, based on your logic, anyone who has ever had a problem in life or have been confused on things like sexuality should not be able to raise a child and that all single parents should give up their child to someone else. you either go with that idea or the idea that homosexuals can raise a child, its one or the other, which do you choose?

Answer 10

I'm very much for adoption by ANY loving families. I'm going to link to a blog written by an African-American man who raises two adopted kids with his partner - some of the posts are about politics, but he talks some about raising his son and the difficulties he sometimes experiences.
