should gay people addopt children?^^

Of course gays should be allowed to adopt children. There are too many children without families to consider someone's sexuality a valid reason as to whether they should be allowed to adopt or not. If a person can provide a loving home life for the child then they should be allowed to adopt.

I am all for it. If a child can find a great home with a gay couple that is very worth it. Children will be teased regardless and many are raised by even single parents, if they can get another parent's support, why not?

I take it this way in a practical sense and will get to the other thing later on. It is the availability of children for those wanting to adopt. When we adopted, there was an age limit on adopting infants. If you were over the limit and it is not that high (I think it was 60 years old for the couple -and it was a man and woman who were married) you could only adopt older babies and those who were mentally and physically challenged.) So what would happen if there is a couple reaching that age where they no longer qualify for an infant would one say "all right this 'gay' couple can adopt, but that man and woman have to wait. It also has to do with your attitude towards people raising other people's children. Why would you think that a husband and wife would not welcome a child of another family into their life and yet a man and a man living together would? It is also that God created man and woman and not a third gender. And if homosexuals living together and if lesbians living together adopt, would that not give the child a wrong sense of biology and lead to confusion? When a lesbian or a homosexual had a child naturally = and got divorced, and has custody, at least their former spouse would have visiting rights. But I am thinking now of fairness and the availability of children to adopt. There is no orphanages now where a couple can go and select a newborn, at least not in Canada or the States. Why deprive a husband and wife of a baby of their own for a political agenda?

I think that they should be able to adopt children. Sure they might get picked on by some kids but that is because their family composition is so different. If they were allowed to adopt then there would be more families with this same structure. It is the perfect opportunity for the school to teach young children about different families. I still remember when divorce first began to be more common but there was still the stigma of the kids being raised in "broken families". Mr. Rogers seized the opportunity to do a show on the different types of families. Kids don't by nature discriminate. It is the adults that teach them discrimination. The adults should should teach them acceptance rather than discrimination. This would be the perfect start towards ending the discrimination.

Hi dear, If someone find he is in need of a child, he can do the things legally and there is no harm in adopting a child for him. It is after all his own issue and no one need to be bothered on it. If child is getting teased by others, who cares of such things. As a father or parent, he should educate the child on such issues and as when the child is growing, make him understand about is position and the details slowly so that the child will not get affected by its implications. If properly make him understand, I am sure that the child will realised the facts and he will behave more as a matured child. Regards, Thank-s

No they should not, they shouldn't have been gay in the first place. They will just influence the children they will be adopting.

I think it is not very suitable for gay people to adopt children. After all, most people are not gay. And therefore if the gay couples adopt the children, and it may have an effect on the children. They may not be gay at the beginning, but at the end they may change because of this effect. And it will change their whole life. It may not be their choice. I love China

Personally, I think if they want to adopt kids, they should also consider about what you've stated up there too---about their kids being teased. If they do want a child, perhaps they should apply for a protection pass for their kids, if there is one.

I think this is an old Issue. that's because they can, for what's more, they can even have surrogate mothers through artificial insemination.well, that's what i remember from our gay couples anyways, they want that kind of process to have children that they can call their own. But adoption isn't so bad either. a lot of children from the orphanage really need some good loving from parents. it doesn't matter if they are blood related or not, but what matters is that the child has a family.. In the eyes of God, we are all Brothers and sisters.

Kids can be bullied by thousands of different reasons, so people using that as an excuse is because they can't think of any good reason to oppose to gay couples having kids. I think that it should be completely legal. Loving parents will always be so, no matter their gender, race or nationality. Two men, two women, or a man and a woman can be good parents and rise their kids to become good adults

yea, for sure they'll be teased in public........

I dot know about it. But a child needs bot a mom and a dads love. Will both dads be able to give then the love of a mother. Mothers love is very special.

i literally seen two people on this disucssion who agrees with me out of about 21 people. i've been raised different, different culture, church background/religious, overall different up bringing. i don't think gay people should have the same rights as everybody else. why? because they are not like everybody else. no offense to anybody but thats just how i feel. the child will have a difficult up bringing, and might result in being gay as well. if you want to be gay and different, be gay and different. gay people in general can not birth kids. simple as that. so be different and not like the rest of us
