Gay Adoption?

Not sure if this should be posted here but....it is now...

I was just wondering what your opinions of gay couples adopting babies was.

I don't really think they should be able to get surrogate (sp!) mothers to have the children for them...but I think they should be allowed to adopt children who are in care.

Just wondering what everyone else thought about this?

Now i am actualy against that, i have nothing against gays and i have a few good friends who are but i dont think it is right to bring a child up under those circumstances.
Although as a last resort if a child has no were else to go it would be a good thing but under normal circumstances i dissagree with it.

I think every child deserves a loving home, gay, straight or whatever.

I also dont agree, if a child is brought up with a gay couple as parents, wont it in some way tell the child that being gay is a good thing to do?. The gay couple could be the best parents ever, but overall it is the childs decision wether to turn gay or not, not up to the parents, the parents merely give the impression to the children that being gay isnt bad. I think that gay parents would only confuse the child sexually. And that is why i disagree, because it is better for the child to be straight- although i am not saying being gay is bad, just for the childs sake, its better to be straight. Atleast that is what i think.

I don't think that having gay parents will make the child grow up to be gay....it may open his eyes to same sex relationships somewhat more than a child brought up under a male/female relationship...but I dont think it will make them gay

does anyone know if sexuality is genetic or is it learnt?

I agree that aslong as the parents have unconditional love for their child then it should be allowed...and I don't think it will change the child for the worse.

Oops...double post, sorry!

I think some research was done that said it might be genetic, but i know it can be learnt too, some people are put off one sex for whatever reasons. I dont think it WILL make the child gay, but it will certainly give the child more chance of being gay.

Of course they should be allowed to adopt children! Why on earth wouldn't they?
