Not trying to start a flame war or troll, I just don't understand some of the rules regarding adoption. I also don't understand, in general how the masses feel about this issue.

Knowing most gays became gay because they exposed themselves to deviant culture or behaviour that is now deemed ok I think it's not healthy becuase they also thing it's ok to walk out on a committed relationship. That is socially acceptable but not what a kid needs.

Who cares? If someone wants to adopt a child, and can pass all background and criminal checks, Why not give them a child? Its better to be adopted to a loving home than spend childhood in foster care! Whoever the moron was who said "...gays are made...being exposed to deviant culture, they think its ok to walk out on a commited relationship" You need to do some reading pal. Not the bible, like real facts, straight people walk out on commited relationships too. EVERYONE does! Leaving families isnt a cultural, sexual or religious issue. Its a personal choice! If someone can save a child from the horrors of being kept by the state. Awesome! Denying a child love because of narrow minded idiots? Unacceptable!

As long as they will love that child and treat that child with love, respect, and give the child a good home and an education, it shouldn't matter whether the adoptive parents are gay or straight.

Gays deserve children as much as any male/female couple, sometimes more. As long as someone can properly love/clothe/feed/care for a child, they should be allowed to adopt one.
So what if that child will have two moms or two dads? It'd be a lot better than growing up switching foster homes every few months or living in an abusive household. With all the children in this world that needs home, and thousands could have a home with the passing of one new law, what's not to like about it?

Anyone who will give a child a loving environment should be able to adopt, and this includes gays. There's a lot of "religious" hypocrites who would claim that gay parents "turn kids gay", but that is not possible. (Don't straight parents have gay kids? Shouldn't they have "turned them straight") Some kids of gays get more love than kids of straight parents.
And I can bet that anyone giving thumbs down to everyone who supports gay adoption is one of those religious hypocrites.

I think it's great. The most important thing is that the children are provided a secure, loving home. My mom's gay friend and her partner adopted a little girl from China when she was a baby and she's doing wonderfully. My only problem with it is that sometimes other kids can be pretty mean about it. I'm hoping the next generation will be a little more accepting of things that are "different" than the last.

I personally am for it. A lot of people don't like it for the simple fact that they think gays will turn their children gay. There are some places that won't let gays adopt children together because they are not a legal couple. So as much as I hate to say it gays adopting are a lot like gays getting married.

I have no problem with gay people adopting. I think they can provide safe and secure environments for children just as well as any straight couple can. The kids might face homophobia from other people, but it's not fair to keep gays from adopting simply because of the small-mindedness of some of the population. Children deserve loving parents, and if gay couples are up to it I think that's great.

Well, personally, me being the daughter of a lesbian mother, I think that I have grown up personally fine. Therefore, I think that if a gay couple wants to adopt, they should. I mean, if gay people make so called "lousy parents" because there isn't a mother and a father together, then single people can't because there is only one person there. Clearly, if the couple is fit for adopting children, then they should be able too.

I think it is wonderful because a great many hetro couples only want to adopt "perfect" infants and gays usually just want to give a loving, supportive home to any child. I know a gay couple who have adopted three special needs children (all are ADHD, one is severely autistic and was also sexually/physically abused as an infant by her mother and aunt) all three children have made major strides in growing up and overcoming their problems. The youngest (the one abused) is actually communicating with people and is more trusting of people now.

I personally thinks it's alright. I wish they can all get married too! For gay couples thinking of adopting, I would only hope they think of how this could impact a child's life. They will most likely get picked on at school. They can end up hating there parents because of the situation they are in. They can grow up and become the newest George W. Bush......uuuuhhhhhggg!
