Gay Adoption?

[Az.]

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

I agree....and thats what I want to find out....why people might think that it shouldn't be allowed........

It doesn't sound bad. If two guys from New York want to take a newborn Zimbabwean baby to the Promised Land, then let him. I highly doubt he'd turn gay, unless it's already in his genes.

I'm telling you, there's spots on the brain and gays have less than straights, proving that we're genetically programmed to become transexuals.

I dont think it WILL make the child gay, but it will certainly give the child more chance of being gay.

How many children do YOU know that want to be anywhere near their parents sex lives? Gay or straight I think the response would be a resounding ewww.

The only thing that ever matters to a child is whether they know they are loved. They don't sit down to consider all the "what ifs" because they simply don't have the capacity to do so. Arguing for some magical "ideal" family is foolish. There is more to family than how we appear in our Christmas card photos.

Im not really sure on this matter, but as I see it having gay parents would probaly have psycological effects on the child. Im not sayomg Im against gays though... The worst thing would be all the trauma the child would recieve at school...ect. The endless ridiculing, and questioning why the child dosnt have a mom could lead to dression and or suicide...

I think that the best option for a child is a loving mother and father, and studies show that these kids grow up more psychologically healthy than kids raised in other situations. At the same time, having two loving gay parents is so much better than other options, like bouncing around in different foster care homes or living with abusive heterosexual parents.

i don't think so. kids can grow up in shitty environments be it with a gay couple or a staright couple. i know a bunch of gay couples who would provide such loving, nurturing homes for kids. living with gay parents WILL NOT make the kid gay, it could just set an example of a loving relationship. plus, what about all of the straight couples that raised gay children? i think if anyone can provide a child with a good home should be able to adopt.

our society hasn't really accepted people being "gay"

What about women? Do you think we are born this way..or life will make her prefer women over me? Seriously..I think in some cases it's not a born with it thing..it could be acquired along life's "paths"?

Kind of with ya on that. They may be great parents but for a boy with two dads....that would be grounds for an ass whoopin' at the school. Not right, but that's how it would be.
