gays adopting children?

Question

for all of the people who feel that gay people should not adopt, what do you proposed we do with all the babies out here who dont have a place to call home? living in foster care is a nightmare and the older children seem to have no hope with getting adopted. and straight couples who cannot conceive naturally are looking at alternatives such as in vitro and articificial insemination in order to have children. do you honestly think that it would be more beneficial for these children to live in and out of foster care than to have someone love and take care of them regardless of their sexual preference?

ok people, apparently you dont understand the question: FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE GAYS SHOULD ADOPT, WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE WE DO WITH THE BABIES THAT ARE BEING SHUFFLED IN AND OUT OF THE SYSTEM?!! DONT TELL ME YOU ARE AGAINST IT AND THAT'S IT. GIVE ME A REASON AND SUGGEST A SOLUTION. THIS IS WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND ABOUT RELIOUS PEOPLE, THEY ARE SO QUICK TO POINT THEIR FINGER AND JUDGE, BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS

true there is a waiting list to adopt children, IF THEY WANT BRAND NEW BABIES FRESH OUT OF THE VAGINA!! trust me honey, there are plenty of children out there that need homes, they are just older. i live in atlanta and the fulton county department of family and children services need GOOD foster familes badly, and you can eventually adopt these kids for damn near free. so my question is still valid.

ok pacifico, how can you say that my question is crude and invalid? if you didnt like the question why the f uck did you answer it? you still didnt give an alternative answer to the problem!!

Answer 1

I was adopted at 13 along with my 2 younger sisters. Social Services had a hard time finding a home that would take all three of us especially since we were older. I believe that anyone, gay or not, who is willing to love and nurture a child for the rest of their
life, is qualified. I've been on both sides of the fence and have found that a family is better than no family. Good luck.

Answer 2

Well frankly, I am a little tired of people putting a spin on things that if the gay parent does this or the straight parent does that, then this would happen. Bottom line if the parent did what was in the best interest of the child, then there would be no need for someone else to take, adopt and raise the child unless the parent realized that it would be better for the child if someone else did. Not because the parent was gay or straight, but because the parent couldn't give the child all the things that parent thought the child deserves

Answer 3

Fantastic question. First of all, those who believe that gays should not adopt do so out of their inability to admit that there is enough evidence to suggest that homosexuality is a naturally existing condition. Although some people may chose for what ever reason to have sex with members of their own sex it is a minority of the gay community.

That said the children adopted have no more chance of being gay than their parents did.

I say adopt them all and once done re-vamp the foster care system with tougher standards for foster parents. Seems anyone looking for a government check can be a foster care parent these days (regardless of past history of compliants of abuse).

Answer 4

It seems reasonable to me that the qualities of a good parent do not involve sexual orientation. As a former foster and now an adoptive parent, I have seen the need for many more adoptive parents in our society. The demand in this nation is for anglo children with middle class biological parents. There are pleny of mixed racial and previously abused children to adopt. It is sad to me that many couples or singles will go out of the nation to avoid going through the system. It is common knowledge that for many years one only needed the correct dollar amount to adopt a female Chinese. These children need parents as well. I think, perhaps wrongly, that the priority ought to be on placing American children.

Answer 5

I am not one that says that gays should not adopt but i feel that i should tell you that Most, not saying all, have this idea that just because they live in a home where they have two mothers or fathers than there automatically going to be gay themselves. In my experience a lot of people think that Foster care is better. See my uncles they tried to adopt and it was really hard on them because everyone had these sick and just brutal thoughts about my uncles doing things to my new cousin just because my uncles are together. I have witnessed something amazing though. My Cousin is in med school now and he is going to be married in six months to this reall gorgeous woman and he is really happy and hiss dads have done so much for him and we all know that it would be different if he was to stay in foster care.

Answer 6

Homosexuality is aberrant. There is nothing good a child can learn from that lifestyle. So, yes, people can do what they want in the privacy of their own home and, no, that behavior shouldn't hurt anyone else. Therefore, as adoption would be harmful to the psychological well being of the adoptee, homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt.

You don't like someones answer so you respond with vitriol? That's the Liberals disease. They can't abide anyone who disagrees with them. Bottom line is you need to come up with a way to get children to stop having children and crack addicts and misfits from having children. Sterilization comes to mind and additional availability to the morning after pill and abortion as well. By the way, are you homosexual and have you adopted? If you're not homosexual have you adopted? I think not.

Answer 7

Gays should not be able to adopt children anymore than pediofiles should (ok get off your soapboxes I am NOT comparing gays to pediofiles) just because there are children out there waiting. Gays should also not be allowed to teach Sunday School or run a church. Look it's not that I don't like gays I have gay friends I just think a line has to be drawn somewhere. Weather you let gays adopt or not there are still going to be children who need homes and that is not going to change until people stop having children and giving them away or not taking care of them or worse. Children need love there is no doubt about that and WOW wouldn't it be GREAT if all children had a loving home to go to it's just not reality

Answer 8

I already know you will think I am double talking here. But overall I do NOT have any problems with gays adopting kids. BUT I also feel that kids should have a mother and father BOTH, NOT a mother & mother, or a father & father. Sorry, I know this is not what you wanted to hear but these are my thoughts on the matter.

Answer 9

In cities across America, there is literally a waiting list of heterosexual parents waiting to adopt, but the long process keeps many of them from doing so. The percent of our population that are gay and want to adopt is minuscule, they are just very vocal about it (as all gays are about their perverted lifestyle). You're question is crude and not valid, get the facts, please.

Answer 10

I think they can adopt. "What the world needs now is love." If gay people can offer that to children without parents, then I think it's okay. But, there is a consequence tho'.............some gays' actions and morals especially about homosexuality will be influenced on the children.
