Should **** couples be allowed to adopt children?

IMO, NO. At least for now. I think it would be very bad for the kids chidhood. They suffer a lot when they are still kids cause of that, and cause they are kids they cant handle it. That will perturbe them a lot. And thers really no need for that. By choosing to be gay IMO you gave up on something like having a kid.

All research indicates that children under same-sex couples are not disadvantaged in any way at all whatsoever.

1. Being raised by gay people doesnt make you gay If that were true heterosexual couples would never have homosexual children.

2. The fact that the adopted kids may be made fun of at school shows that the others are not mature enough or not educated enough to be accepting

First of all, you're not gay Your opinion on it being a choice is poorly formulated, at best. Second of all, it's not a choice. Any homosexual will tell you that. It's not one big lie that we're all in on. Thirdly, the ignorant and bigoted majority should have no say on whether or not I can have a child. Especially not when I'd be a better parent than most of them.

I kinda agree that by choosing to be gay you give up on having children... but, if they want a kid and there is one available (that sounds so cold, I know), they should be able to.

1) People don't choose to be gay

2) Even if they did, so what. A gay couple produces a gay child. What's the harm done? The only disadvantage the child would be at would be at the hands of people who put them down.

3)You know what, nevermind all that. You know what's more detrimental than having a same sex couple as parents? Having no parents and growing up in an orphanage.

I think the lack of either a female (or male depending on the case) influence would be detrimental to the childs raising. Therefore, no.Penguinchow

So today's theme for OT is homosexuality eh.cyberdarkkid

Well Serraph beat me to it, but to emphasis what he said. You are very incorrect. There is data leading that its not a choice. You almost got us there. 2nd YES, Same sex couples should and have the right to adopt a child. I dont knowif anyone heard of this, but there has been study thatconcluded a child raised by heterosexual couples might be at risk of more social/psychologicalproblems than a child raised in a same sex house hold.

There are Homosexual parents that handle children better than hetrosexual children in some cases and sometimes its the other way around..

So yes, they are more than fine at handling babies/children, Sexual orientation has nothing to do with this..

Isnt there also a lack of the influence of one sex? :|

Should we not allow them to have kids?

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="dsmccracken"] Your point assumes that there is always the choice to have a female and male raise the kid instead of the gay couple. If the kid is in an orphanage, there is NEITHER... is that preferable?Penguinchow

Double standard?

I think that opposite-sex couples should be given first priority, but otherwise, I'm fine with it.Genetic_Code

And still we see that everyone is perfectly fine with a single person adopting, and YET! So many people have a problem with homosexual people adopting based on the pseudo-argument that there is lack of the influence of both genders. Which is the case for single parents as well.

So we can conclude that the single parents issue shows that the inhibitions have nothing to do with those arguments and instead lets admit that its just about some people not being able to cope with a family model they are not used to.
