You're having a hard time because you can't defend your position. It's illogical and it makes no sense. You need to rethink your real reasons for having the opinions you have. What do you really think and why do you feel that way?

That's an easy one.

All you have to do is look at the statistics of same sex relationships. Look at the average duration, the abuse, the health issues etc. It's easier to find reasons that they should NOT adopt than to support why they should.

It also creates a lot of confusion for the child and they should not be put into a position where they need to explain why they have two moms or two dads.

You can look at Biblical principles and see why God designed the family structure to contain a father and a mother and what role each of them play.

Your opinion means nothing. It's legal and becoming legal because educated decent people know that families take all forms, and the most important thing is that children are loved and taken care of. People who adopt go through very rigorous scrutiny, home studies, psychological tests, etc. So I'd feel much better about anyone approved to adopt being parents than straight couples who are close-minded, ignorant, and terrible parents (which is pretty darn common). Having a Mother and a Father does not guarantee you have good parents, or a healthy family. So get over it. Good loving decent people are entitled to adopt, whether they are gay, straight, single, etc.

I can't give you any help on how to keep same sex couples from adopting since same sex couples are the ones who most frequently adopt special needs children. Hetro couples tend to only want "perfect" children. I know a couple who have adopted THREE special needs kids one has Down Syndrome and the other two are Autistic and have ADHD. Funny thing is they all three are far ahead of the "national average" in school, intelect, personallity traits than children with the same "afflictions" of hetro couples...Go figure...

listen, i think that as long as they are going to take care of the kid, they should be allowed to adopt one. Usually children understand a lot more then peaple give them credit for. the parents would know enough to warn thier children about other childrens rude remarks in school. besides we are living in a world where it is becoming more socially acceptable, and it is not abnormal to have foster parents or divorced parents. At least the child will be taken care of by poeple who love and care about it. having two parents is a lot better then having a broken home and heart. Oh, also, i think maybe you should pick a different topic for your essay.it will probably be hard to write seven pages on something that you don,t seem to have much of an opinion on. Writing about something you know about , or have a genuine interest in is usually the better path.
good luck!!!!

Why are you writing a paper that you don't have any opinions or saying on? If you are not against same sex couples adopting you should write a paper on why they should be able to adopt. That would make more sense.

With all due respect, why would you be against that? Are you afraid the poor child's mind will be horribly twisted? One way or another, some poor kid is going to get a mind job. Once you start telling them about the pains of hell and moral prudery, I'll take aberrant sex over that any day and so would the adoptee.

It somewhat contradicts itself doesn't it? It eould be really hard to do a paper like that. Perhaps touch on the thought that homosexuality is a personal decision and should not be influenced by outside factors? Good luck

I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I am totally for same sex couples hey do what you do. But to me it is hard enough raising children these days and true enough they say as long as a child is raised in a happy environment is all that matters and don't get me wrong that is true. But it is sending the wrong message to children from the start and gives them the wrong idea. I mean if you have a mom who hates men, how are you to raise your daughter not to feel the same way. Just because of what one person goes through doesn't mean that all women go throuhg the same thing. Same thing for men, which I am really against two men adopting a child. I just feel like these people knew that they couldn't make a child before they got in the relationship and what the criteria is to make a kid and they gave that up. It is really hard to put into words why you are against it because it is really hard to explain without saying things the wrong way or being contradictive of yourself. Just do a lot of research regarding children raised in same sex homes and stuff like that.
