Homosexual couples adopting? What do you think of this?

Question

Ok, i know gays are gays and the sex part is logically wrong, but hey it's their life so they can do what they like, but what i really disagree with is the adoption, when other children are brought into the case than i think it's not right, raising a child requires a mother, not a camp man, not a man, not two men, a man and a woman, It's their nature but i really disagree with the adoption thing, i think it's unfair on the child, to have two dads. A mother is needed what's the world coming to?

Answer 1

I agree with you 100%. Who cares if they like to do each other even when they are the same sex? It's their life! It becomes something wrong when they try to force their wrongful idea that homosexuality is not wrong unto innocent children. That's like zoophiles telling their children it's OK to do animals. I don't think schools should teach homosexuality as something natural either, that's an unproven belief.

Answer 2

If the birth-mother has made the decision that it is okay for a homosexual couple to adopt her child then so be it and mind your own business. There are so many children out there raised by heterosexual people that are being abused, neglected and messed up mentally. When straight people start being perfect and really become as high and mighty as some like to think they already are, then we can tell others how to live their lives. In the meantime, as long as we are sinners, we need to accept that others are sinners as well and mind our own business. It is not man's job to judge.

There are so many straight men out there making babies and walking away, not paying child support or if they do live with their child, they ignore it and go out to clubs and cheat, lie and act poorly. I'm not saying all straight men do this because we all know not all do, but straight men don't have the best track record of being good responsible fathers. Why not give gay men a chance and see what they can do? With the divorce rate and single mother statistics the way they are in this country, I am appalled that someone could honestly say that straight people are doing a good job and setting a good example.

Answer 3

And how, exactly, is the sex part "logically wrong?"

Anyway, children raised by two men or two women aren't at a disadvantage, and they do not "become" gay due to their living situations. That's simple ignorance on your part. They will, however, have a much more open and accepting outlook than many of their heterosexually-raised peers, since many heterosexuals still believe as you do, which is extremely unfortunate.

However, you're right. What *is* this world coming to when people get discriminated against not *only* based on their race (a week ago or so a gas station in SE Gainesville, FL refused to let a black couple use the restroom *because* they were black), but also based on their sexuality. Adoption is a wonderful way to have children, and should be open to *every* eligible person--whatever their race/orientation be.

It's a shame that people like you exist in this world of ours. You *do* realize that this is the 21st century, correct? Haven't we moved past such superficial differences yet?

Answer 4

I have plenty of gay friends who had children the "natural" way (sperm fertilizing egg, and the woman is pregnant for 9 months, etc!) And those gay women do Just Fine raising a baby with two Mommies!

As for adoption, I don't see a problem with it. When someone wants to adopt a baby, it means that they can't have them the natural way, and they have lots of love to give.

So, why not let them give all their love, affection, and money to an adopted child?

Children who are adopted by straight or gay parents always have a really good life because they are children who are actually WANTED!

It's not as if they are being raised by abusive crack-heads who neglect them and beat them. They are being raised by people who love them and treat them like a gift from God!

Why would you have a problem with two loving gay men or women adopting a child?

Is it any worse than a child being raised by a single parent?
At least these children have two loving parents.

You need a reality check, hun. People are not going to live their lives by your standards. You can't change anyone. So get over yourself.

Cheers

Answer 5

First of all I don't think a child being brought up by a mother and a father would be much different than one being brought up by two men. I would think it more detremental for a single parent to raise a child than 2 of either, two men or two women. Bringing up a child is nothing more than just that. Where you loose objectivity is when you bring the sexual thing into the equation. You have sex with your spouse and your children are not affected by this. Two men or two women would be the same. Sex is not a factor. People are either good at raising children or they are not. There are tons of children being raised in this world that have parents that don't care about their children. These couples do care or they would not do it. They did not have children accidently. They chose to have children. I think that the children would be lucky to have anyone that really wanted them.

Answer 6

In a perfect world all children would be raised by a mother and a father, but this world is far from perfect. I have some concerns about gays and single people adopting children, but I don't completely object to the idea. Children need loving parents and if gays or singles can provide that, then I think they would make suitable parents.

Answer 7

There are alot of single Dads that are raising their kids that are doing a fine job without the presence of a mother. I do not see any difference for the homosexual couples that are raising children. If there are families that want to adopt a child, and raise and love them as their own then more power to them. It is more important that children be loved in a enviroment where they are wanted, and alot of same sex couples can give that to these children that do not have any parents. I think that people think they will raise their kids gay, and that is why they are against it.

Answer 8

I understand some of the points you raised. I once thought pretty much the same thing. I use to think "fine, you're gay and I wish you a happy life with that, but don't drag kids into it."

Then after having a frank and open conversation with a co worker that is in a gay relationship and has children from a previous relationship. It basically boils down to one simple truth.

No one in this life chooses their parents or how they are brought into this world.

As a society we can only hope to ensure that every child has someone who cares for and protects them. Honestly, to do that you don't have to be married, rich, beautiful, or even intelligent. The only prerequisite is to be a decent human being and the desire to care for a child.

Answer 9

okay... what about two mothers? this really boils down to the psychology of child raising. i don't know of the facts [if there are any], nor have i looked up any research, but i would think it's all about the love people provide children. i mean, kids are constantly being raised by single parents, foster parents, an uncle or aunt... so why would this be any different? because they are two men or two women? your assumption is obviously based on the idea that sexuality is learned and not inherited, which i'm not bashing although my views are different. are you afraid that the child will grow up to be homosexual because that's what their parents are? well think about this then, many children now are raised by heterosexual parents and yet... omg... some are [or 'become', whichever you prefer] homosexual! i truly don't understand why people fear those who prefer the same sex. we constantly degrade these people, saying their lifestyle is wrong, that they don't have the same rights as heterosexual people, and now that they would be unfit parents... what's next? we need open-minded people in this world who don't let outdated beliefs consume them. and for the record, i'm christian.

Answer 10

Sorry but it's gonna happen, it's happening.
Think of it this way maybe-
The gays I know who have kids, have $$$$money, education. I see a far better life for an unwanted child with them than with an undereducated mother/father, with a low paying job and the propensity for abuse or neglect towards the child because of that hard situation.
I am not saying undereducated people do not make good parents, but usually the babies put up for adoption are from young girls, still children them selves who don't get very far in life (not all, but most).
People who choose to adopt are usually at a better more stable point in their lives to raise a child.

Answer 11

I am a married women raising a child in a traditional relationship and I full support gays adopting. In reality everyone wants a newborn white baby. There are waiting lists for those children. But minority children and those with disabilities are far less likely to be adopted. If two people are willing to take children into there home that otherwise would be left in group homes to be raised. Good for them. Who cares what they do in the bedroom, it is how they treat the child that really matters.
