Should gay couples be able to (adopt/have kids)

Robopig you are sooo silly. Act you not consider gays can also be drunk, abusive, and yell at kids and exploit foul language? Please. I am not talking exceptions to the rule here..I am talking in general. And in general, its surpass for a kid to be with a mom and dad than two daddys or two mommys if, for the very least, developmental reasons. If its any conselation to you, I feel that a child is beat served to be adopted by a gay couple than to not be adopted at all and left in an orphanage.

And yes, Robopig and LittleRaven I realize about Massachusetts allowing gay marriages, but I have seen many, many more states vote it down. It is the exception rather than the norm, and as you state, there isnt going to be any data on gay divorce anytime soon.

I seriously doubt they could be any finer either. Like I said, all things being equal, its still better IN GENERAL for a child to be in a domestic with a mom and dad, instead of otherwise.

This House believes homosexuals should be able to adopt.

POINT

The focus of this debate should not be on gay rights, but on what is in the best interest of the adopted child. The adoption process' goal is to find the most suitable parents for that kid, not to resolve other social inequalities and injustices. Being raised in a traditional family, by a mother and father, is the best environment for a child. Studies own shown that children who are raised by gay couples can have problems with substance abuse, aggression and 'at risk' behaviour. Therefore the state has the obligation to aim to provide the infant with that environment.

COUNTERPOINT

Even if it were true, that the ideal environment for a child is a mother and father, which studies show it isn't, that still wouldn't justify a flat-out ban. Most governments still allow free people to apply for adoption, and even solo gay people¹. That is because there won't be an 'ideal' family ready for every child who needs a home. So other options should be considered. After all, a child is better off with 'non-ideal'

Adoption Rights For Gay Couples

Should homosexual couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples? Homosexual couples’ adoption rights are significant to me because I personally know gay couples who are affected by this issue. Why does it matter if they&#;re not straight? It doesn’t matter what the adopting parents’ sexual orientation is, all couples should have the same adoption rights and should be held to the same standards regardless of their orientation. There should be more information available about the benefits of gay couples adopting.

If people are informed of the good things about gay couples adopting children then these couples will face less persecution and disappointment during the adoption process. According to the Atlantic article, “We are holding our breath,” Bode admits. “We’re hoping for the best and planning for the worst, which is what many LGBT families are forced to do in the current system.” Gay couples who desire to adopt children have a much harder time because they do not have what some people see as the “right” family makeup. If all couples had the same adopt

I was raised by 2 gay men. I still think children deserve to be adopted into a home with a mother and a father | Opinion

Lawmakers here in Tennessee are catching a lot of flak for their help of HB , which supposedly allows adoption agencies to “discriminate against” LGBTQ applicants. At first glance, it looks unfair. After all, we all contain friends we know and love who are queer and who deserve to be treated fairly. But HB sounds unfair only if we are looking at it from the adults' perspective. When we view adoption from the child’s perspective, prioritizing homes with both mothers and fathers not only makes sense, it’s critically important.

For the first eight years of my life, I was raised by two gay men — my father and his partner. My formative years were almost entirely devoid of women. I didn’t even realize that there was such a thing as a mother until I watched "The Land Before Time" at school. My 5-year-old intellect could not understand why I d
