I've read some posts around where parents are 'dissapointed' in their children when they 'come out' because they think they can never have grandchildren....WHAT?!?!?! who said a homosexual couple can't have kids??? there are so many options out there. you want a blood child...fine...thats easy to do, you just need another willing half. either a doner for woman or a sergant mother for men and there...you have a blood grandchild. also ADOPTION, what just because you adopted a child this won't be your grandchaild?? how parents can be so self centered....whats your opinion on homosexual couples having children??

I think those parents are selfish just as gay couples are selfish when they say they want a child.
They cannot have children and no one should be allowed to force nature. Still, gay couples should not be allowed to adopt children because it would not be a real family.

Family: mother, father and children.
When the parents separate or divorce the family is broken.

so you rather these children grow up in a foster home or go to an abusive family...you have to be specific on WHY it is not a real family. the term 'family' to day can be anything...
fam·i·ly–noun
1. parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together
or not.
2. the children of one person or one couple collectively: We want a large
family.
3. the spouse and children of one person: We're taking the family on vacation
next week.
4. any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles,
aunts, and cousins: to marry into a socially prominent family.
5. all those persons considered as descendants of a common progenitor.
6. Chiefly British. approved lineage, esp. noble, titled, famous, or wealthy
ancestry: young men of family.
7. a group of persons who form a household under one head, including parents,
children, and servants.
8. the staff, or body of assistants, of an official: the office family.
9. a group of related things or people: the family of romantic poets; the
halogen family of elements.
10. a group of people who are generally not blood relations but who share common
attitudes, interests, or goals and, frequently, live together: Many hippie
communes of the sixties regarded themselves as families.
11. a group of products or product models made by the same manufacturer or
producer.
12. Biology. the usual major subdivision of an order or suborder in the
classification of plants, animals, fungi, etc., usually consisting of
several genera.
13. Slang. a unit of the Mafia or Cosa Nostra operating in one area under a
local leader.
14. Linguistics. the largest category into which languages related by common
origin can be classified with certainty: Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and
Austronesian are the most widely spoken families of languages. Compare stock
(def. 12), subfamily (def. 2).

They can have children who says that but i do not agree with those homosexual couples. I don't think that a children will grow as it should between some homosexuals. Good luck!

Sorry to say, your issue is not very clear to me at least. Even most of the homosexual couples are quite fertile. They can have one child, to satify their parents. and when parents are so eager, they will definitely take care of their grand children.
What is the problem?

Crazy isn't it that in this day and age people would worry about such things? What if the kids were not gay and never had kids because they didn't want any? That is something all parents need to consider.
I used to think homosexuals should not have children only because I thought it might be confusing for the kids and they would get picked on all the time. Then I met a couple who have a son. I have watched them with him through the years and have changed my opinion completely. He is a teenager now and is more well adjusted and respectful than most teens I know with straight parents. He participates in church activities and is just an all around great kid. I would be proud to have either one of his parents for my child and him for my grandson.

I think it is not as much of an issue as it used to be however it is much harder for a gay couple to have a child then a straight one.

jawanza - WTF?!? none of what you said made even one bit of sense. sience is all about logic, and life is not logical. you are single minded to think in such as way as you do. catogorizing homosexuals, blind, and deaf people as freaks! how immature can someone be. are you a child?

They can have children if they wish. It is just more difficult for them. I think the parents should grow up and accept their children as they are. Not all straight couples have children either.

Homosexuals can, and often do have children. And with as many childen as there are in foster care in this country, anyone who can provide a quality, loving home, I say go for it.

i have nothing against it - because nowadays you never know what gender your kids will be attracted to. no offense intended, i'm just being open-minded, as usual.
but still, i cannot imagine having 2 moms as opposed to 1 mom and 1 dad.
i don't really want to get into the details cos i don't want to possibly offend anybody.
:o)

Its great! their life will be fulled by having a child.
Lot of couples think after someyears if they had child that would make their life happy. As they know that they cannot but still they will try to adopt a child. The bottom life will be happy. It will be really wonderfull isn't it emarie. Anyways thanks for starting this discussion. You made people to write their views regarding the topic.

Either they can get a donor or they can adopt.I see no reason why they cant have kids.
