The way I see it is that gays who want to adopt do it because they really want children. Therefore, they they most likely provide a very loving environment for that child. That in itself should make up for any shortcomings having two parents of the same sex would present.
Preventing gays from adopting has much more to do with the national homophobia than it does with protecting the interests of the children. Don't beleive me? Well, take a look at this list of potential parents
-White Supremecists
-Far out cult members.
-Crack addicts
-Convicted felons (murderers, bank robbers, etc)
-Sex offenders
-Welfare moms
-etc.
Nobody seems to have a problem with these people having kids, so why just gays? God forbid Steve and Larry want to adopt, but that creepy guy who hangs around the middle school with a camera can have kid (assuming he finds a woman to legally have sex with). There's a lot more to being good parents then just being Mommy and Daddy.
VERY well said!!
I couldn't agree more!! :thumbsup:

My questions is.....are all the hetro couples that want to adopt, all taken, Meaning are there any hetro couples. waiting to adopt today?
Once all the hetro familys that cant have Kids the way God ment, have adoped all the kids they can.........then talk to me about gay adoption.
Think of it like this.....this kid (person) has rights.......
It has the right not to be put into a gay life style. When there are Hetro Familys crying to sleep at night cause they cant have kids.
My point Bong, with all those other "parents, those that can have kids, is that they are far more likely to raise kids in a fucked up environment and/or seriously abuse the kids. And yet, nobody would ever consider taking away the child of the grand dragon of the KKK because living in that household would be bad for the child. If it really was about the welfare of the child, and we were trying to protect then from damaging "lifestyles" then social services would be a lot busier.
As far as hetero couples getting preference, I actually do agree with you. If it comes down to all factors being equal, except one couple is hetero and one gay, the hetero couple should get preference. But to simple say "gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt" is very shallow minded.
Edit- Kudos to your Mom. She provided a good influence to you. My comment about welfare Mom's was mothers who have no intention of working and have made an art out of milking the system so you and I pay for their children. Not a good influence.
