lesbian parenting? its it ok?

Question

i just want some honest opinions about a lesbian couple having a baby and raising it? parents are nice people 22, and 24 have great jobs, great familys and are very responsible.. i see no problem with it

bottom constributer, maybe ur deranged and have identity issues!!! sorry u would feel like that

Answer 1

I am absolutely for it! I know gay/lesbian couples hat are wonderful par rents, better than most same sex couples.

Answer 2

Something tells me that one of the lesbian couples might be you because your Avatar says Baby on the way, but maybe not, forgive me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I don't really agree with it, but I don't have a problem with it. As long as they aren't bothering me I could care less what they do. When the child grows up, he/she would want to know why everybody else has a father and she doesn't.

Answer 3

The only problem might be the perception of the people around the baby when he/she grows up, but if the couple are confident in their own identity, open with their environment (especially families) and have a support network around them, the child can always find strength close by and learn to live with it.

I personally knew a couple of women who gave birth to one child each and raised their kids together. Both kids were brilliant, because they were early-childhood teachers, but they were only little at the time.

Answer 4

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. As long as they will be good parents then i don't think it matters what gender they are. I know two lesbians who just had a baby a little less then a year ago. The baby is perfectly happy & healthy. I don't think it will affect the child in any big way.

Answer 5

I think it's wrong, but not because of the lesbian issue. I believe a child needs both a mother and a father. Sure, there are situations where a child is raised without one or the other (death of a parent), and does just fine, but to deliberately deny a child his or her father is cruel and selfish.

Answer 6

There is no way to know, ahead of time. Some kids are just fine with the arrangement. Some aren't. But, isn't that true in all families? As they say: "You putcher money down, you take yer chances!" No guarantees!

Answer 7

If the parents are loving, caring, nurturing, then hey, it works.

Given the choice of a child being with heterosexual parents who abuse him/her or a child being with lesbian/gay parents... the child being raised by the lesbian/gay parents will most certainly be in the better situation.

Answer 8

I think it's fine. I always find it funny when people think that "gay" can rub off on a child. I'm not talking about you, I'm referring to some of the answers. I'd rather see a child that is happy with two "mommy's" rather than an abused child who has a mommy and daddy. I think having two moms can be kind of cool as long as they are good at it. Unless these women have a history of beating kids there's no reason to deny them to chance to love a child who really needs it.

Answer 9

I don't see any problems in it at all. As long as it's a loving, supportive, appropriate environment then that child should grow up stable and happy. With all the child abusers in the world today, just to have a healthy home is a blessing for our children.

Answer 10

I really do not think it is good thing no matter how good the people are I use to think it was okay.Until I talked to kid in that situation it left them feeling confused and like an outcast in society this person had problems with this until adulthood.can you honestly imagine the confusion for this child .my friend went through alot a kid shoal not have to..On the flip side I think the community in which they live has alot to do with it.

Answer 11

I'm all for loving parents: man/woman, woman/woman, man/man, single parents. Who cares what you do. Love your kids, love each other. Happy family = happy kid. That's what is important

And for everyone out there, nothing that says parent orientation affects kids. How many gay people do you know that had gay parents? I don't know any. Be happy with everyone and the world will be a better place.
