Same-sex adoption.
 
discuss.

LemonJam 12-11-2009 09:18 PM

If they are two loving parents that will take great care of the child, why not?

-expects to be told why-

Alf 12-11-2009 09:19 PM

i have no problem, as long as these children are brought up with love, discipline and respect for others.

bronaaaa 12-11-2009 09:23 PM

It helps unwanted babies, so I'm all for it. Better let a child expirence real love then none because both parents are male/female

InOne 12-11-2009 09:24 PM

Yeah no problem either. Live and let live.

setanta 12-11-2009 09:29 PM

No problem with at all, especially since I think that same sex relationships seem to have less hostility involved with them in general, which probably stems from my own experiences. Women and men just rub each other the wrong way.... statistics prove it. I think it could be argued that a more loving enviroment might stem from same sex partnerships.

Twilight 12-11-2009 09:38 PM

I don't have a problem with it at all.

No no, I don't mean that it's that cut and dry lol; it's just an opinion of mine seeing as divorce rates are climbing yearly.

Jack_ 12-11-2009 09:42 PM

I'm all for it, and if there was more of it I think the next generation would be brought up to accept homosexuality.

HOw many gay couples get married? Of course their divorce rate is lower.
ANd how long was it even allowed to have gay marriges?

Anyways, yeah I dont think it should be dissallowed the gay adoption but straight couple should be the priority imo.

KKBL 12-11-2009 09:48 PM

I dont think theres anything wrong with it.
Maybe children would turn out better if they had a male and a female parent,but if a couple will try their best to be good parents then I dont think gender matters.

I'm not talking about just marriage; I'm talking about relationships here and cases of domestic abuse and marriage break ups that are happening all the time. It's doubtful that there's as many bust ups in gay partnerships... hey, I might be wrong but I just think that opposite sexes drive each demented on occassion lol.

_Seth 12-11-2009 10:31 PM

Is there any reason as to why it would be a bad thing? Of course not. ;) Apart from any severe bullying the child might suffer throughout school because of having gay parents.

Jords 12-11-2009 10:31 PM

There is no problem, the child will recieve loving and all that it needs.
Just the thing comes down to, when the child gets older (were talking secondary school), s/he may not like the fact he has 2 mums or dads, and s/he may get bullied about it at school, I know id find it wierd.

Also they may encourage the child to become gay/lez, which I dont agree with, the child should be left to sort that out for him/herself.

Basically, its not from our point of view which is any problem, (i find it ok, but if i was the child i would find it wierd having 2 parents of the same sex and wouldn't like it, but ofc would be apprecitive and wouldnt show this) its if the child will feel comfortable about it, which it wont know till its older and the parents have grown to love him/her..

MiuMiu 12-11-2009 11:02 PM

I'm all for it!
:D

Princess 12-11-2009 11:06 PM

I can't remember which book it was,but they said something like all same-sex couples love their kids so much cos they had to fight so hard to have a child in the first place.

The only argument I've ever heard against it is that the kid will get bullied. Which is stupid because kid's get bullied for all sorts and most kids are a lot more accepting than people give them credit for

Hugo 12-11-2009 11:51 PM

I completely disagree with it and think its completely wrong. I'm gay and would never even consider whether I would like to have a child because it's not about what I want it's about the child, who deserves to grow up in a normal family situation with both a male and female parent.

Crimson Dynamo 13-11-2009 08:25 AM

Two men together looking adopting children, no. 2 women no problem but down the pecking order from a normal male female.

I agree with this^^^^

It's not that I don't think same sex couples wouldn't do a good job, I just think that having both a mother & a father is a more "ideal" situation. I have 2 kids 1 boy and 1 girl and especially for my son there are alot of things that my husband gives to my son that I couldn't. He benefits greatly from having a father in his life.

Unless it happens though then the child is never going to accept anything outside of what we now know as a 'normal' family situation. I imagine if a kid was raised by two men, the kid would see that as fairly normal by his standards.

What about kids with one parent? Or alcoholic parents? Or the thousands of other abnormal family situations out there? Should we take the kids from them, yeah?

Parents should be judged on how good they are at parenting. Not at what's in they're pants.

That's all very true but "ideally" I think having both a male & a female parent is better. I accept that there are plenty of bad hetrosexual parents and plenty of very good same sex parents but If I had a choice of putting a child into a good hetro couple family or a good same sex couple family, I would choose the former as I believe children benefit more from having both male & female inputs and role models.

i disagree if the parents are loving and caring it doesn't matter what sex they are
if the those same sex parents pas down the right morals to the kid then it doesn't matter

Exactly this, and it's my view for m-f couples too.
