    Read this, Read that... Gtech is teaching you well. Gay people should be forbidden 100% to adopt kids. Because already it's wrong to be gay, and it's wrong to teach Kids that it's ok to be Gay.

    I hope one day you caught your son, making out with his new boyfriend. :D
    Then will see if your thoughts change.... :)

    I don't think gay couples should be able to adopt kids, as it isn't a proper/traditional upbringing for the child, let alone he will get made fun of, and what ever else will happen to him.

    I'm sorry. I should of known better that you are illiterate. How dare i present an article to you! ;)

    Regarding what you said about my son; I'd have a long talk with him about it, understand how he feels, and accept him as he is. I will not EVER make him feel rejected. Maybe that's how your parents treated you, but that's not how it goes in the civilized world.
    What the hell is the point with being aggressive with your child because he's gay ? Only fools think that can change them back to being 'normal'. Instead, try to support and help the kid in need. Make him feel loved and cared about. That's what a good parent will do.

    An orphanage isn't a traditional upbringing. it's a kid who has no parents, A tradition upbringing isn't an option anymore.

    And who is going to make fun of them? Stupid idiots? We shouldn't care what they have to say. I guess we could extend your logic and stop fat people, Ugly people, short people, Tall people and disabled people adopting too.. Ya know, Just in case at some point some stupid asshole decides to make fun of them.

    (haven't we discussed this before?)

    Now, are all people saying no to gays adopting saying that because they don't like gays, or because they actually CARE about the well-being of the child?

    I think however can provide for the child (safe, happy, loving, secure environment) should be able to adopt.

    Which would be better:
    Having a drug addict mom and an abusive father - living in a trailer in a dangerous neighborhood just barely surviving .. or

    Living with a caring gay couple in a decent neighborhood - getting all the support you need as a child.

    I would hope that the second option would be better for the child. They might be with a gay couple, but they would be in a better environment overall.

    And living with a gay couple is a whole lot better than living in an orphanage.

    Also, keep in mind that MANY kids grow up in single parent homes and turn out fine. So they don't NEED a father and mother. Humans have this really cool ability to adapt - so we can survive with a father no mother - or mother and no father.

    And living with a gay couple won't make a child grow up to be gay. Just like living with a straight couple won't make a child grow up straight.

    A person is going to be gay or straight regardless of what their parents are.

    My friend lived with her gay uncles and she didn't turn out to be gay. She also wasn't made fun of. Nobody cared.

    And if people have some fear of the child molested - then maybe male couples can adopt females and female couples can adopt males - so no worries of them being 'interested' in the child.

    I, personally, don't see what the issue is with gay couples adopting. As long as the kid has some place safe to call home, then thats all that matters to me.

    I know I would rather live with a gay family than have no family at all.

    (random, but this reminds me of something I read before about homosexual black swans raising baby black swans)

    I think it's absolutely fine. I agree 100% with this. The gay parents will not force the kid to be gay, they adopt a child because they are a couple looking to become more with each other so they become parent. They will not force there ways onto a child if they love the child.

    You choose to be a heterosexual when you start getting sexual feelings for the opposite at different ages but it's always at puberty.

    I don't know if anyone else here was actually raised by homosexuals but I was and I voted no.

    I think I know as much or more than anyone here about it.

    No, there is no choice. It's natural that you go homo or hetero. There's young toddler, male, playing with Barbie with girls...you may know right there already...and there is no sexual trend at that time...

    I am impressed with all this discussion about gay men and women adopting children. There does seem to be fear that gay people will work their best at making adopted children become gay. Tokio's shares a good question about peoples fears with gay people and adopting children.

    It is unfortunate that children need to be adopted in the first place. They are put in the situation for a number of reasons which include; poor living conditions, abusive homes and so on.

    Most people that decide on adopting mainly do it with the intention of helping these children and giving them an opportunity of having. It is unfortunate that once the gay couples have found their soul mate that they are unable to produce children. But it is good to know that they are willing to raise the child with the best up bringing they can provide. Especially to provide them a safe home and knowing that they will be able to come home to loving parents.

    I could not see these kids stuck in such sad situations when there are people willing to want to help and be a part of their lives.

    Just some of my thoughts.

    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    And it is not OK to marry a black when you're white, and even less if you're fat or old...or if you had an accident and miss an arm or a leg...And what the heck...if you drive a Ford or a Dodge, except if it's blue or red...

    So, basically, no happiness for gays...and every happiness for hetero...OR, why not to put them in ghettos...with a star on their clothes...We should make a law to prohibit them to work...and to watch TV....

    I don't know, you guys, where you gonna put your limits...

    Any child needs a mother or a mother figure, it's that simple.

    2 guys can't make a child, so it's not normal for them to have a child.

    I sure wouldn't want to be brought up by two men:rolleyes:

    I don't get it... Once again, if the mother died giving birth, you wouldn't allow the father to raise his son by himself???

    What about lesbian couples? Then the child could have two mothers.

    (Hmm, this just made me think: What about lesbian couples that use artificial insemination? They wouldn't have to adopt, but the child would still be raised in a homosexual home..)

    Yea, actually that is a good idea. You can take my idea and use it on every person wanting to adopt. You can use it on whites, blacks, gays, str8's, everyone.
    Lets kids interview the potential parents. If they like the people, then great. If not, then why should a child be forced to have parents he doesn't want?

    If they don't crave penis, they won't qualify as good parents, as far as some of these posters are concerned, haha :)

    That's different the child is not being raised by two men but instead the father (not by choice) & he could & probably will remarry so the child would have a mother figure.

    It's the same argument in reverse a father or father figure is needed.

    So two gay men will definitely be worse parents then one straight guy?

    And as for "could & probably will remarry"; only if he wants to... If he had no desire to date anymore, he shouldn't be allowed to raise his child?
