Should gays be allowed to adopted kids?

The vast majority of gay couples who adopt children are college educated and financially well to-do. They have all the necessary financial and emotional means to raise a happy healthy child.

Of course childhood is rough on everyone and children in general can be very mean and abusive towards other kids.

It would be no different than being teased for being fat or wearing glasses.

As far as other parents go, they should be ashamed of themselves.

I think any emotional trauma a child suffers early on in life for having gay parents is nothing compared to the trauma he or she would've suffered being shoved around fosters homes for 18 years.

And lets not forget that gay people get "stuck" with children who are sick, handicapped and have emotional problems. They dont care, they love these children with all their being.

More than likely, the curelity most kids get, would be three times that for the son or daughter of a gay couple.

Yes although a kid who would be adopted by homosexual parents would have a crappy childhood with all the shit he or she would get from other kids and parents. 🙁

Unless they lived in a gay community like San Diego. My cousin Larry lives there. He's gay. His partner is named David. David is also gay. 😱 What a surprise.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you, their two adopted children, Jason and Jessica, have many awesome relatives who love them and will watch out for them no matter what. They are the luckiest two kids on Earth compared to their prior living conditions. I'd take two dads over an abusive father and a mother who gets beat cuz she can't cook, anyday.

During the election a couple of months ago the republicans in my state ran an ad against a democrat claiming that he approved of the "immoral" practice of gay adoption.

The democrat was defeated by a large majority.

when the kid is open about it, and the parents are too at a very young age, the kids that one kid hangs out with don't give a shit about it. Cause they simply don't understand the fuss about it! "sure, (s)he has two moms or dads, so what?"
the ONLY people that make a huge fuss about kids going to get bullied by these are ultra-conservative religious people because "it's immoral"
It's immoral that a couple that love eachother (who don't even have the right in most countries to express this in a marriage!) want to take the next step like so many do and have a kid???

please correct me if I'm wrong, but ... isn't Texas a very republican-state? especially with Bush being from there? and the oilindustry there supporting him?

It's a cover up. Bush is gay.

i agree with naybean prolly the only way for gay people to b accepted for who they r in society, is that themselves teach kids that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality...

it's retarded really the way some people say it's immoral for one person to love somebody of the same genre

and from genetics point of view it is/should be possible to let them have a biological kid anyway.

But the thing is.. they can't really stop a gay couple from adopting a kid anyway. A gay guy can adopt a kid by himself, and not tell them he is gay, but still raise the kid with his boyfriend or life partner or whatever you want to call it. From what my teacher said the only thing banning gays from adopting is doing is if something were to happen to the parent that adopted the kid, the kid would go back to the state instead of to their other adopted parent. So really all banning gays from adopting is doing is creating complications and isn't really stopping anything, so they should just legalize it and make things a whole lot simpler. Correct me if I'm wrong about any of that.. I'm going straight off memory of what I heard last year so I might not be completely accurate.

I dont think single people can adopt. Can they? 😕

you have a point of course, but the thing is that i'm living in a rather conservative country... and it is really very uncommon to meet any couple like that. but the fact is that children CAN be mean.

Lesbian couples can have biological children...

Its easier for lesbian couples because they usually receive a sperm donor.

So far the only good argument shown against gay adoption has been that the child will be teased and put through "hell" at school.

Studies have shown that children who were raised by gay couples turn out just fine. Many of them aren't teased at all. Their classmates only know they have gay parents if the kids tell them.

Yeah Yers, Texas is very republican. 60%.
Dallas and Houston both have very large democrat populations but the country hicks out on the farms and ranches out number us! 🙁

a few of the kids at my school make fun of my friend and say her 'parents' are rubbing off on her, like when me and her hug. so i guess thats a little true. But my friend doesnt mind at all. shes been through a asbusive realtion ship with her biological parents and a former foster home and she has been in 3 other homes besides those to. She is extreamly lucky to be with the family she is with today. i cant ever see her hating them

you have to make a difference here, it's not cause children can be mean that they will be that in this case. they CAN be mean but are not ALWAYS and when they are younger they don't mind about the whole parents thing and that's exactly the point in all of this

i'm lost

yay! I got something right 😊
would you say that those "hicks" vote for bush cause he's from texas, that he has a farm or cause of his strong religious believes?

Just because rednecks are conservative like that. Most of them are religious... Bush actually was born in Conneticut, he moved to Texas when he was 13 or so.

Has anyone read Great Expectations?
