I think it is fine as long as they can provide a loving stable home for this child. Being parents of the opposite sex does not always make a good parent - i have heard some horror stories with adopted children in homes with a mom and dad, so as long as they are investigated like everyone should be and can show they will provide, i think it is great! And no, i do not think it will cause children to become gay later in life ( by the way i am straight,married and have 3 children ) If i had to pick a home for my children - it would be based on love, home life, someone financially stable,etc. not their sex!

When I was going to school, there were 2 kids I knew that had same sex parents. One was a 16 year old male who had two mothers. Believe me when I say he was VERY into females, constantly trying to date a good friend of mine. The other was a little girl who was 10 and had two fathers. The kids did tease her whenever they found out but she grew up to be a really nice person and last I heard she has a baby. Now on the flip side of that, I have several gay friends who all grew up in heterosexual, sometimes homophobic households. Then there's the logical element of it. My parents were a certain way just as I am sure everyone else had parents that were a certain way, but it doesn't mean that I am attracted to what my mother and father is attracted to. People often times believe that it's the parents that raise children--it's more the peers that a child has is who shapes them. But regardless of that, I think that as long as a couple/person (hetero or homo) that wants to adopt a child should have that option as long as that couple/person doesn't have any felonies or predictors of abuse. As for gay marriage, of course I am all for it--my best friends may want to get married one day and they shouldn't be deprived of that right.

Gay marriage is fine, gay couples adopting children on the other hand; you have to look at both sides of the argument. On the one hand, all that really matters is their love for the child and that they could be good parents, and why should they be robbed of that privelage because they're gay? On the other, depending on where they live, the child could be bullied or worse because of it, but people are generally over it these days. It's all guuuuud.

I do think gays should be allowed to adopt. It doesn't matter the sexual orientation, but the love unconditional love a person can give to a child. As for the marriage, I think it should be legal, because everyone should have the same rights. We all need to stop the label thing and focus on the positive in this world.

I mean its not that they might grow up gay because in reality you are born gay so the child wouldn't necessarily be gay. The child would probably be teased like crazy at school and be under unbearable tension. So I would feel bad for the child. Gay marriage is ok with me. Its weird. I'm okay with gays marrying and adopting but one time I saw a two guys kissing on sidewalk while i was driving and it gave me the chills and made me shudder.

I do not believe that a child raised by 2 same sex parents will be gay. Let's face it, many mother & daughters raised a child w/o a male around & the kid was hardly gay.
Gayness is not based on raising.
I think they should be allowed to marry & adopt. Love is love.

Gay parents would make great parents. I'm sure gay men wouldn't abandon their kids like alot of straight men do. But to be very honest my opinion shouldn't count. The only opinions that really count are the ones who can give gays more rights to adopt, there would be so many more happy children

How could we as a society deny kids quality parents. If kids raised by same sex parents are more likely to be gay, that is probably because lees of those kids would deny themselves. There are probably lots of children from straight households that would be gay, but they are in denial.

I'm gay and married and ---no most adopted children do not become gay because of their gay parents

I dont think they should because it has become a big issue in the U.S and if gays adopt children it will influence them to do the same thing, get my drift?
