What do you think about gays and lesbinians couples adopting children?

Answer 1

I think it's a good idea! <3 = )
~*Bree!~

Answer 2

First of all don't you mean 'LESBIANS'??? At the end of the day as long as the child is put with people who are going to love and care for them,make sure they're clean and have clean clothes,make sure they don't go hungry or thirsty,make sure that they get a good education and that they grow up with the right attitude towards other people then that's all that should matter. The sexuality of the adopters should not even come into it! And if anyone has a problem with it then it just goes to show that they themselves have not been brought up with the right attitude towards other people for whatever reason. Now don't you think that's a more worrying environment to bring a child up in because all it does is continues the hatred towards things that people don't want to or can't understand or are afraid of. The people that have this hatred need to learn to accept that not everyone is the same,be it colour,race,culture,background, religion or sexuality and that just because they are different doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to live in this world whichever way makes them happy. After all are we all not human beings supposed to be living together as one not fighting with each other about things that are unnecessary??

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY.

There are more than enough heterosexual 'couples' (if indeed thay are married) that are lousy parents who should not be allowed to breed.... and the idea that it is the right kind of union when MORE THAN HALF of all children are being raised by a single parent is ludicrous. And while there are no guarantees about a firm marriage it is a bold fact that it is a helluva lot easier to raise a child when you have a partner so the single parent family having significantly higher stress is INEVITABLE and the child WILL SUFFER.

100% clear - that any couple who loves each other or at least 'thinks' they do shall have the right to adopt and if they are gay then DEAL WITH IT. It is going to continue and the incidence of gay parenting will be growing.

By the way I am straight, not gay.

Answer 4

i am gay and it is not that i agree about gay couples adopting children because i am gay but because once i met a young boy (he must have been around 10 or so) and i was talking to him...He seemed to be the bully type...well that was my first impression but after a while of talking he told me that her mother was a lesbian and talked to me about her and it was so mature, it was so intelligent (but childish at same time). He didnt have any problem about that, he was so open. I even remember him telling me he liked girls but not as an excuse for anything. He was kind of saying i like girls but there are girls who like girls and guys who like guys , where is the problem? He was really natural about that, i hope i could be so natural about things as he was. People who has less prejudices are more free than the rest.

Answer 5

Wouldn't it be confusing for the child, also the child would get a lot of hassel at school from friends that they make... A friend of mine's wife through him out for her lesbian lover, they have 3 children. The children are all in the same school and get a lot of torment from the other children about their mothers relationship, so no... i don't think gays or lesbians should adopt children... think of the children

Answer 6

I think that it takes a man and woman to make a baby, therefore it stands to reason that it takes both to raise one. Unfortunately, even with straight couples this is not happening. I think the best interests of the child are best served by having a man and a woman parenting them. There are characteristics in each that need to be present to give that child the best life it can have. Without it, well, we've seen the results. A lot of kids from single parent homes end up getting messed up.

Answer 7

Personally I think it is a tired and old question. In this day and age where very few people live the 'traditional' lifestyle of happily married with mother at home - for all the abandoned children in this world. As long as they're in a safe, healthy environment what does it matter who is in the household?

Answer 8

I dont think it makes any difference, there are plenty of people, men and women who go through part of their life living a lie, pretending to be straight, getting married, having kids then coming clean and living how they want. Their children adapt to the new situation.
In any adoption case the people doing the adopting only do so after thinking long and hard about it, therefore the child is very much wanted, not like some kid who gets pregnant and then has to make the most of it!

Answer 9

Only where one of the adoptive parents is related to the child. keeping the child within the family bond where possible is very important, this also goes for a single paretnt adoption.

a child should be very carefully placed within the most appropriate family setting and a mother and father is very important to the childs upbringing and development.

Answer 10

All this bollocks about kids growing up around same sex couples and turning out gay themselfs is bollocks.And the fact that they get molestered...yes it can happen, but to anyone, not just kids growing up in same sex relationships.People (some) are just very ignorant went it comes to diffrent things.It should be about the child and if that child will be well looked after,thats all that counts,not about what gender you are.

Answer 11

Honesty i thought it was really strange for them to do that. I still do sometimes. Because the child could get really confused on whos mommy and whos daddy. I know some kids who were raised by either and they always thought that was strange. Some got to the point where they were afraid to let friends know, because on some of the views people have of them. If u are going to do it be aware of the child and how this would effect them. Face it, its not normal for same sex parents. But if u can raise the child right and good judgment, do what u want, but always think of the child.
