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?

:l
Sometimes, it's way better. Whats wrong with having two moms? Or two dads?
Quote one response- XD Yeah right. If they are adopted by gay parents, they will be more open and understanding to gay views since they were raised around them. They won't be instantly gay.
Quote two response-Yep, they are getting a home. They won't sleep in a foster home, and will be loved by two caring people who will take care of them.
D<
HORRIBLE.
Quote three response-Do you realize that half of all marriage end in divorce in America? That a lot of kids have never seen their mom or dad? They are getting two parents. I don't see the problem.
Quote four response- :O
Why if that isn't hypocritical...

I beleive it would be fine. I have a couple of freinds that are gay, as long as they don't hit on me, tis okay! And as long as they don't try to pressure the children into being gay, tis okay. I doubt they would, but their are some really wierd people!

I totally agree with Yaeka.
It still disappoints me how people just can't treat other people right such as the Gays.
I HATE IT! >.<
So I DO agree that gay couples should adopt.

CLmaster I have to ask: Can a straight single man adopt a child? The point I'm getting across basically is that EVERYONE is allowed to adopt if they can care for the child.
There are good and bad parents in the world and your sexual orientation has nothing to do with being a good or bad parent. :3

I agree with yakea. Whats so wrong with having two dads or two moms. Plus its the childs choice if they wanna do that or not..not the parents.Plus i dont feel like its fair that people are prejudiced against gays and lesbians. You cant help who you have feelings for weither it be guy or girl or even both. and people are stupid for putting other people down because of something like that. If it makes ou happy why not..(back to subject)If you want a kid and you can take care of him/her it shouldn't matter..

lol funny thing though this reminds me of those cheese commercials on the radio
how is this a debate if everyone's agreeing?
=3
But I agree, regardless of orientation people should be able to adopt
I mean you want these kids to find homes right? Why do you have to be so damn picky when it comes to a couple even if they are gay? You'd rather let a couple known for child beating and abuse adopt the child instead? There are so many things we have yet to learn. How can we say we're the land of the free when Gays and Lesbians can't even get married or adopt kids.

i say they should let the gays adopt whats the big deal ppl are so paranoid that they think that gays are gonna do some weird gay experiments or something. Most gays are pretty cool and really want to raise a child i rather have a child in a gay oving environment then in a orphanage or some place like that

I think that gays deserve to be able to adopt children- aslong as they don't force their sexuality onto their kids.
This is because gays are still humans, and have the same right to kids that everyone else has, denying them this privelage of childhood is a crime towards them.

You know it is right for gays to adopt children but when or if that child is going to school what will other parents or kids think of it.
If parents see that that child's parents are gay they might think that the kid will influence their child to be gay which most parents don't really accept gays at first. Then they will make their children stay away from him. Therefore leaving him in isolation
If other children also find out they will probably pick on him or her or stay away from him or her

 Angel Wishes You... Your sexual orientation should have no affect on weather you can adopt a child.
Most children in America today have parents that have divorced and the children end up living with only one parent. At least a child adopted into a gay home has two parent to be loved and cared by. It shouldn't matter about the parents orientation. If you want to adopt a child in need of a home and you want to love and care for that child, then you should be allowed to do so.
A Happy Halloween...

Depends, they should meet all the standards everyone else has to meet. And if they do, why not let them adopt? A stable family is the most important thing.

I think it's sad how people judge other by their sexual oreintation. I think it's sad how we judge people by how they look, talk, whatever.
Quote1: I find that very hard to believe. Okay, maybe it /can/ happen, but not all gay people come from gay parents. Duh.
Quote2: Oh, shut up. I'd rather have a gay couple take care of that kd if the kid just came from two crackheads. So yes. Think abotut the childeren. Stay with pot smoking parents? Or stay with people who are just like you and me but love their same gender?
Quote3: I needed a dad rolemodel for the longest time. I think I've only had ONE my whole life, and I'm certainly not talking about the one I have right now. I know one of my gay friends who has a mother and a father... and...he's gay? :/
Quote4: Now, if I was there to see this, I would've ripped a new butt-hole for this one. Everyone can be a a*****e. To even think that you sunk that low to say something about someone different than you shows who the better person is. And you think Gays are assholes.
