I think they should not. Coz it's not a good example for a kid. We all know what marriage is and we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship... The focus needs to stay on children, not the rights of adults to adopt...Children deserve the best possible homes, especially children in the child welfare system who have special emotional and psychological needs. Adopted kid might also have problems in the future.

Yes they should be allowed to adopt. There are so many children out there desperate for a family for someone to love them and a place they can call home, whether they are the same sex or not if they pass all the assessments and they are found to have the perfect home for one of these children then why not!!!

What anyone does in the privacy of their own bedroom is their business not mine or anyone else's. We all have an obligation to conduct ourselves appropriately and treat everyone with respect.
Having said that, yes, I believe that if a same-sex couple wants to adopt a child/children and is found to have a safe, loving home they should not be denied. There are too many children in this world suffering for a family of any kind. They need loving parents! They need safe places to live and grow....It drives me crazy that there are so many children suffering and none of those right-to-life, bible-thumping, judgmental homophobes seem to care. Or have any good idea's of what to do with these lost little souls.

I personally do not have a problem with adoption. I think they should make it where they have to adopt due to the fact that we have so many children in foster care and such. As long as they can provide a loving, stable home environment and are willing to accept the fact the this child may or may not choose themselves to be a same sex partner. They also need to be able to talk with this child when they are older about dating, sex, etc. and explain to them it is okay for them to date a different sex and they do not have a problem with it. It is something that we must all face and it is out there and has been for a long time, it was just closeted for so long because the world did not want to accept it. I am not one for same sex couples myself, but I have worked with and been friends with people who choose to. I do not have anything against them and do not treat them any differently.
As far as the name, you can make one up for me. I am a stay at home mom. I am 30.

I think it is okay for same-sex parents to have and adopt children. I think the crucuial thing is that there are two parents and that they love their children. No one make a fuss when a child only has a mother, so surely there can be nothing wrong with two mothers, they can only be better!
As long as they have love support and discipline then I say that's fine

It's okay if they have a healthy life. If they really love the child, why not? But they must think of this child sexual preference in the future. One of them should have the answer for this tough question one day. And I think they don't. So it's still a problem. Who are we so we can judge!

Absolutely.
They should have the same rights as any straight couple, including marriage and adoption.
Why would anyone deny a child the chance to live in a stable, loving home?

Yes same-sex couples should & do have the right to adopt. They can provide a loving home the same as a heterosexual couple, in fact in many instances probably a better home environment.

I do not, personally. People still fight over whether it is okay for couples of one race to raise a child of another race. Why would this be different? It is confusing to the child. It goes against my beliefs as well.
