There is a debate that say that althought nothing wrong with being gay it might be an issue if gay couples bring up kids in that the kids could suffer, both in the community and by not having a more '' balanced '' upbringing.i.e.By both sexes.
What do you all think?

As a lawyer (and at the same time a qualified psychologist too) I can testify this, coming out of my proffesional experience:
I have handled cases about parents and children which could be the main inspiration for a thriller:
a) Parents belonging to cults (Sai Baba, Satanists, etc) where the children if not taken care by the State would end mentally disturbed.
b) Triangles (Mother or father having a relationship with another person or another couple) and children having no stereotypes as to who their mother and father is.
c) Fathers abusing (s...y) their own children but the mother dare not file charges because of lack of family support.
d) Mothers and fathers abusing psychologically their children in order to cover their own deficiencies.
Once, I client of mine asked me to pay a visit to her son's house because of his collection with works of art (paintings and ceramics).
He was gay and his companion and him had "adopted" the latter's niece (her mother had died).
I was astonished of the love, care and respect the little girl had been granted.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion that it is the conciouness and the affection of the parents that counts, and not their sex.

Homosexual couples should definitely be able to adopt children! Claiming otherwise is like saying that there is something intrinsically immoral about homosexuality. From my own experience I know that this is untrue. Some of the most loving, stable and compassionate couples I have ever met are homosexual. There are many kids who could benefit from people like them adopting. So many kids are floating aroung in foster care without proper love and stability. The more homes for them the better.

There is no question about it,they should adopt.And to all the people saying that because the parents are gay the child will also grow up and be gay I say read up!Being gay is something you are born to be,it is not something you choose later on.I would rather see a child grow up with gay parents which love him\her and really wanted the child to go through the process of adopting than to see it with parents who got accidentaly pregnant and decided to get married even though they don't love each other because it is what the society wants of them or with parents that are abusive in any way.

A child must grow up in a healthy environment, and healthy is not always the father or mother of different sex..
Take the cases of people who create a family and the conflicts and fights between the couple destroy the interior world of the child.
What to say about those who leave their children and they grow up orphans?
So, the important for me is the peace of the soul of a couple inde[pendently the sex,however in Greece we are not so advanced in the mentality to accept this, i m not going to juge if it is right ir wrong, but the greek society whose principles and structures are different is not still ready to accept it

I think that they should be able to
I have gay friends and they would be good parents to a child
I also know that there are gays and lesbians that have kids
one of my friends went to the gay pride parade in San fan this year and theire where kids there with ther parents so i don't see anything wrong with them having kids
as long as they are happy and making sure that there child is also happy

of course they should. It is the care of the child that is important!

I don't have problem with gay people, all humans we are same and equals. It's not my job to judge other people about their choices.
But i don't think that it's right to make an adoption. Not because they will be a "bad influence" for the child, the reason is the prejudice of the local society .
The neighbors, the friends in school etc they will probably make the child feel bad .

I think there are more gay/lesbian couples out there that are more stable than non gay/lesbian couples. So why shouldn't they be able to raise a family if they so choose.

What a lot of cr*p I've read above? Of course they should be able to adopt,some of the gay/lesbian couples can be better parents than the 'normal' ones...you never really know how the parents treat to their kids anyway. And if a child in a gay family is raised to accept their parent's individuality and respect their love,won't have any problem at all in school etc.

While I myself do not care for them, better a child be raised by two gays that will treat him/her right, than straight parents who will abuse and mistreat the kids.
