should homosexuals be allowed to adopt a child?

Answer 1

What does this have to do with Religion & Spirituality? The answer should be : ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Answer 2

What civil authority allows is one thing. What civil authority forces religious agencies to do is another.

+ Homosexuality +

The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.

Unmarried cohabiting couples, whether heterosexual or homosexual, are living in sin.

+ Adoptions +

The issue at hand is that Catholic adoption agencies in the England and Wales handle about one-third of all private adoptions.

The Catholic Church regularly matches orphans with married (heterosexual) couples. People who are living as our religion believes God intended.

There is a new law that says that the adoption agencies will have to place children with homosexual couples.

Catholics believe that not only it is not in the best interest of the child to place them in an environment of immorality and sin that if they follow the law then they themselves will be sinning in the process.

Catholic doctors are not forced to perform abortions. Catholic prison workers are not forced to execute prisoners. Catholics are not forced to commit what they believe to be sinful acts in any other part of society.

What happened to freedom of religion?

+ With love in Christ.

Answer 3

of couse. there are gay parents that give good education to their child, better than "normal parents". i think it will be better for a gay to adopt a child than a normal parent, bcz they dont fight so often a give more attention to the child. is my opinion. and they are person too, they must have the same rights.

Answer 4

in my opinion, absolutely. they should be screened just like heterosexuals are, and if they are found to be responsible people, i don't see why they should not be able to provide a home for a child in need of one.
