My partner and I are both pre-op transexuals. We have discussed our sexuality with numerous children, and they all seem very understanding. However, we're afraid of a backlash from the adult non-transgendered community if we adopt some of the kids who come over to our place to "party." Do you think this kind of prejudice still exists, or are we worried about nothing?

Yes, there is a lot wrong. What kind of "party" are you doing--I suspect that is wrong too.

Personally I feel that you shouldn't be allowed. I think a male and female couple should adopt. You are just confusing kids. Of course if you want to adopt older kids like 16 or older that might be okay but as far as children no. This is just my opinion. And yes there still is prejudice against your kind. I don't think the main world is ready for it yet. I think you can do whatever you want just don't try to come up on me with it. I feel the same way about gay people to just not you. Hope this helps some. I know it is going to be hard. Just thought I would give you some truth.

I have an idea, screw everyone who doesn't like it.
You and your partner are in a loving relationship and you want to build a family. Go for it! You have every right to build a family like hetersexual couples.
It will be hard on the kids though. They will probably be teasing and stuff like that. But you know what? Kids who get teased like that tend to be very strong of charactor and end up being successful people.
I wish you and your partner the best of luck in building your family.
I will never understand why people feel the need to get involved in other people's "privates". I remember when interracial relationships where "wrong". Nowadays, its no big deal. I only hope this ignorence and prejudence against "non-traditional' familes passes soon.
Everyone has the right to be happy and lead their lives in pursuit of said happiness.
PS, I am a straight female. I am the god-mother to the 5 adopted children of my lesbian best friend and her partner. They are the greatest kids in the world and they are being raised better by two women than most kids are by hetersexual couples.

Interesting, since you're also a man thinking about a sex change and a 17 year old girl considering stuffing a gerbil up your ***. (see this idiot's other questions).
Ignoring your crap about having kids over to party, I think there is nothing wrong with a transsexual couple adopting a child. As for you, I think there is no one in their right mind who would allow a moron like you adopt a puppy, much less a child.

I was going to say go for it until you started in with kids coming over to "party"?
As written..... you are afraid that some people are going to have a problem with you adopting the children that come over to "party" with you.
Uhm..... yeh, I believe that most transgendered, and non-transgendered people have a HUGE problem with that and hopefully the people of Yahoo will be able to track you down and put you away for a long long time....

once your through with your operation than i would say fine go ahead but now i would say no.. now if were talking about street kids who have no one and already know certain things in life that some do not that may be OK or a baby who will be the time you are through with your ops will be older that too may be OK.. but a older child that has to go through with daddy turning into mommy or visa Versa...please stop and think about that..if you want to adopt one of your party kids then i am sure i am talking about a street child no one wants.. and you and your partner will more than likely be a godsend and more of a parent than they ever knew..

Why the hell would you be "adopting" kids who come over to your place to party? This is weird, I thought it was a legitimate question about a loving couple wanting to adopt a baby to love and raise, but I judging from your questions I think you are just on here to try to shock people.

Kids are born naturally with no prejudices.
Adults, however, do not live without them and you would--without fail--get a backlash from the adoption company, [probably] the foster family, and parents of the children when your adopted child goes to school.

There will always be decenters, you will always have to stand up for yourself. If you and partner have decided you are ready to bring a child into your relationship to love and care for that's the most important commitment of all. If people didn't find 'this' to be resentful of you it would be something else. No matter who you are there is always someone on principle who would just be hateful. The best lesson you could ever teach children is to be non judgemental of others and pursue your dreams with grace and dignity.

Why are there kids at your place "partying?" That sounds weird. I'm a grown woman and there are no kids at my place partying unless my young relatives are visiting. I think it would be extremely difficult for you to adopt a child...I'm not judging, but its difficult for heterosexual couples to adopt children.
I think you should stop inviting kids to your house to party...that's not looking good for your cause.

You know, religous feeling aside, think about the kid. There is a good chance you will make his/her life hell. Kids in general are mean to each other. Imagine if there parents are different.
