I was raised by my mother [insane, with mental disorder soup] and my sister [bi-polar with ptsd]. I don't think that a couple of gay guys or even two totally butch lesbians would provide half as erm...*cough* interesting *cough* of a childhood as I had.
"Gay parents would raise gay children!" Oh, really? Because, you know, straight parents obviously only raise straight children. *eye roll*

If you need two parents, what about single mothers that lost their husbands in tragic accidents? (or the dads that just left them)

True. Lots of people don't approve gay adoption. I believe there is nothing wrong with it.
I pity anyone who believes that having gay parents turns the child gay.

Unfortunately, adoption agencies usually aren't so open-minded. They still have a problem with a white couple adopting an African-American kid or African-Americans adopting white kids because they "lose their culture." (I saw this on 20/20). So losing their childhood to foster homes and orphanages is better than exchanging their culture for a different one? If adoption agencies have a problem with this, you know they're going to have a problem with homosexuality. Personally, I'd say that almost any loving home is better than no home. I only say almost because someone can love you and not be able to take care of you.

Sir Cookies I've seen this issue being discussed so many times and I have to say I am totally fine with Gays adopting children. But I've never seen so many people disagree with me and so harshly as well when I discussed this in the past on Gaia.
Discuss:
If you think Gays should be allowed to Adopt.
Here are some things I like to point out and say to:
Quote: If Gays adopted kids, they will turn gay themselves.
I fail to see how this works. If just by having gay parents turns the child gay, then how do you explain the gay or bisexual children birthed by Heterosexual parents? Besides, I have a guy friend who has gay parents. And he's loves women.
How are we not? We're giving the child a home to live in, clothes to wear, and food on the table.
Quote: Kids need a mom and dad role model.
I don't think so. Kids can live with whoever their parents are. The key here is that they need GOOD role models. Even if it's two dads or two moms, as long as they are good and caring to the child, they are good enough role models to raise the kid. There are plenty of families with mom and dads that have kids that are awful parents. Beating the child is not a good role model. I've also seen a lot of good single parents in the world as well. Being gay has nothing to do with being a good or bad parent.
Quote: Gay people are usually assholes.
I beg your pardon? that last bit is bullshit. i cant believe some people think like that.

ok this is probably a horrible thing to say, but if there are any gays out there reading this, please dont adopt kids. itll be weird for them to have to grow up like that with 2 dads or moms. im totally pro marriage, but kids is another thing.

we read books to kids at the age of 2 about how a family is people who love and care about you so if two men love and care for a child then let them adopted. people have sead kids need a mother and father to care for them well how about singal parents or the ones whos sposes are away on activ duty. and it is as for the thay will turn gay thing it is not positeve and somthing sciontists say can not be controld that is determand by the brain( you can not control who you fall in love with jest wether or not you act on it) if 2 men or women are going to love and care for a child then let them

Good parents are good parents, plain and simple. As long as they supply a supportive good home, its totally fine. It's true that having gay parents can stigmatize children in high school and such, but with the way the world is going today, gay will probably not be uncommon in the future. It's already become a huge movement. It's the current civil rights movement. (Next: Incest?)

 "Seriousness is the refuge of the shallow."
I think gay people should be allowed to adopt smile There are many couples who want to have children but can't, and there are so many kids who need families out there. I think they don't care the least about their parents' sexuality. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you can't be a responsible parent. As long as the child is given what it needs to grow up and become a good person, it doesn't matter.
Some say that a child needs a mom and a dad but that's just not true... kids who grow up in orphanages are usually fine, no? Not to mention all the single parents out there. Then there's that crap about how apparently they'll "raise their kids gay" and that's probably the dumbest of them all. Wouldn't that mean straight parents only raise straight children? (ie, gay people wouldn't exist.) All arguments against same-sex couples adopting are idiotic. I can't think of one that's even remotely intelligent. - Oscar Wilde.
