do you think gay couples men should be allowed foster a child?

Answer 1

which one would be mummy,in factthere would be two mummies

Answer 2

Gay couples ARE allowed to foster children.There cannot be any discrimination when assessing people who want to become foster carers.Children who require foster care come from all walks of life and what they need most is a stable loving enviroment with carers who really care about these kids and who can offer them stability.I am a foster carer with 10 years experience and we are crying out for 10,000 more carers in the UK.Society is becoming increasingly diverse and anyone who can offer a home to a child should be and will be considered.

Answer 3

I find it interesting that you only speak of gay men. So you're saying it's okay for gay women to raise children but not okay for gay men to raise them? I mean how ignorant that question is. Don't you know that men are capable of raising children. It's no different than a straight man raising a child.

There are plenty of gay men couples in this world raising children in a very healthy, secure, loving environment. The most sexual straight couple are allowed to have children and raise them, and yet the least sexual gay male couple are judged to be not fit?

I mean come on sexuality isn't only prevailent among gays. It's also plainly visible in straight couples. Then again if gay men want to raise children together, obviously they aren't interested in leading sexual lifestyles, they are more of the homebody, family types.

This question is flawed with no logical facts to back it. It's legal for gay couples to foster and adopt children together in California.

Answer 4

Absolutely. And why not? If a commited couple wants to invest the time, energy and expense into researching and adopting a child, I'd say that child is truly wanted and will be loved and given every opportunity in life to succeed.

And for all you "no-no'ers" out there, this hypothetical child we're talking about is being given up by someone straight... think about it.

Answer 5

Of course! These arguments against it make me sick. Think how many homeless children there are in this world!! Straights are too busy having their own children, many of them do not want to adopt a child that is not theirs. Think at the number of children that could be saved from homelessness and horrible foster home situations. Many children in foster homes are bounced around year after year to family after family (many of the families are just in it for the money and don't care about the children). As long as a homosexual couple is stable and willing to provide the love and support that is necessay for a child, then of course it is should be allowed!! The main problem with homosexuals adopting children is not the homosexuals themselves, it's the bigots that disapprove of it and make it out to be something horrible, which it isn't by the way. Arguing that children will take on the actions of their gay parents is absurd. Sexual orientation is determined at birth and according to many scientists, 3 months before birth. If any of you were gay you would understand how terrible it feels to think that you might never be able to parent a child. Every straight parent knows the joys of parenthood, why should gays be excluded from that? There are too many homeless children that need homes. People need to lose their prejudice attitudes and realize that their is nothing wrong with gay parenting. By the way, there are many straight couples that shouldn't be raising kids and are terrible influences to their children and these people are allowed to parent children just because they are straight? There is something wrong with that picture.

Answer 6

i have to agree....isnt the main reason is for love and stability for the child not the issue that 2 men are raising the child...why are so may herto's giving, or living thier children?

Answer 7

Yes - providing that they provide a safe, loving happy home for the child. Same as a heterosexual couple wanting to foster.

Good on anyone who wants to foster.

Answer 8

Any couple who can provide a stable home for a child should be allowed to adopt regardless of sexual orientation.

And the people who say a child needs 2 parents, are we going to lobby to ban single mothers then!!

Or what about the ones who say the child will be bullied, shall we stop inter-racial couples from bearing children then.

Ridiculous arguments when think about them.

Answer 9

As long as the men are ready to provide a safe, loving, steady home with all the things a foster child needs, then yes. Children should not be denied the chance to be loved, even if the source is not necessarily traditional.

Answer 10

Yes. adopt or foster. People make good or bad parents irrespective of their sexual persuasions, not because of them.
Grow up!

Answer 11

if they are financially fit and both adopt the child- just in case they were to split so there is no long, harsh custody battle
