Thread: Gay/Lesbian Adoption. Yes or No?

everything that glitters ISNT GOLD. so every damn person on this planet cant be a parent, foster care parent or adopter so i dont care if a parent "plans" on having this perfect good little enviornment for their so called child if they are NOT FIT to be parents THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO. and if they dont see FIT that the gay/lesbian couple is SUITED to have a so-called LOVING enviornment for the child/children then SO BE IT. -.-

No, applying to adopt is usually based on the desire to care for a child. Desire has nothing to do with whether that application is accepted, nor should it be, but on their ability to provide (monetarily etc.). The instant you base it on anything other then whether they meet the needs of the child in question you open the process up for law suits and prejudice. Hence all the arguments on this very subject.


Now aren't you going to thank us starfire1036 for our "contribution and incite"? After all you thanked the ones who agree with you and you did ask for

about 20-40 people to post ether they are for or against Gay/Lesbian adoption and why or why not

calling everyone who is against names is hardly going to give you your impartial poll results. Instead it is you who are showing prejudice yourself and tainting your research for your speech.

How do you know that? Do you know these people personally? Prejudice is judging someone based on their appearance, gender, or belief, how have you not done that? You are the one who said:

one homophobe after another

based sheerly on a stand against in posts which contained no name calling itself. Shame on you. If you don't want people to judge you you should not do the same to others.


I do appreciate the thanks however I am afraid your response leaves something to be desired in someone who is supposedly trying to get both sides of an issue.

Just because some one disagrees with your point doesn't mean they are homophobes...this is a debate and discuss forum

I have to agree with Arrianna some what

The child needs to come first and how a child is best raised. Though a traditional family might be best for the children, Single parents can run into problems (I think it was Arrianna (maybe lol) that showed some statistics single parents are more likely to raise rapists in another thread? ) but their are single parents out their that are doing a fantastic job.

So rather than saying no they shouldn't, I believe it should be dependant on the situation, eg. such as if a gay couple had a very supportive family, if there were female role models available for that child or male role models that they could have constant support from as well (grandmas, uncles, aunties etc etc) and of course the usual love, food, economic support. And I guess it also depends the age of the child. Finding a match that will best suit the child, not just what the adoptive couple wants, whether they are straight or in a same sex relationship. I'm not sure what the process is like now, but I presume they don't give out children randomly, do the same checks on same sex couple, but check extra to see if a wider support base is there?
