Is it right for homosexuals to be able to adopt??

I personally do not think its right, i think that its not fair to the child, because "some" (not all) homosexuals want a child has a fasion statement and thats not right nor fair on the child.

Also has proper family values gone out of the window, whatever happened to "mum and Dad"?

So i am asking should it be:

Mum and dad?
Dad and Dad?
or even

Mum and Mum?

Can you add another option? All of the above?

And I think your reasoning is flawed. Some heterosexuals want a child as a fashion statement too, that doesn't stop us from letting them marry.

Hmm

I don't personally feel it is right.

Would you hire a gay man to be a nanny for your 5 year old son or a lesbian for your little girl? I would not want that.

I think that all people that adopt should undergo much more then a Home study, they should undergo extensive psychoanalysis for an extended period before and for several years after with the whole family.


I don't even think a lesbian should be allowed to run a girls dorm at collage. { my sister has that problem now} I mean what's the difference between hiring a man or a woman to live in a girls/boys dorm. i mean if the person is gay, either way the chance for sexual inappropriateness is there. So to with a gay or lesbian with a child of the same sex.

I think you might be getting homosexuality mixed up with paedophilia here!

Not the same thing.

 

Agreed, I wouldn't reject a homosexual nanny on just his/her homosexuality alone.

 

I think children still need a mother and a father. However, who I am to deny homosexual couples adoption..
It's a difficult subject, to me at least.

 

i said what i meant

"the chance for sexual inappropriateness is there" Thats my opinion. I could give a rats ass about YOUR opinion of my opinion.

 

That is there regardless of the sexual orientation of the adopters.

 

To answer the question, yes. People are capable of being good parents reagardless of their sexual orientation.

But I have problems with the poll options too--there should be an "all of the above."

For those who are arguing that a child needs both a mother and a father, I presume you would also be against single parents? So you would be OK with taking a child from a single mother and giving it to a lesbian mother and a gay father?

 

the majority pf single mothers has husbands, boy friends, girl friends, and partners once upon a time, and they're kids generally see the adsent father, ok i know in some cases the dads dont see the kids and also vise versa but they generally have male/female rolemodels

 

Almost every state in the union refuses to grant adoption rights to a single male with no children, not so with a female. So considering the comments some of you have made you must think that the government thinks all single men are pedophiles? or is it because "the chance for sexual inappropriateness is there" ?

 

i also think the single people shouldnt be able to adopt either allbeit male or female

 

True. I wasn't arguing that single mother's shouldn't be able to raise children, just that the logic being used could lead to a conclusion that 2 gay parents (who were present & fully involved) were better than 1 single parent.

 

"the chance for sexual inappropriateness is there"
Isn't this also true for single mothers ? Ok maybe the chance is much smaller, but there is still a chance.

 

I totally agree, but for some reason the government does not.

 

Maybe because it is natural for women to have children, while it is not for men. Women are evolutionary wise very well equipped to deal with children while men are not..
It's really pretty sensible..

 

mom and dad only...or mom alone...or dad alone.

Everything else is wrong.

 

That was one idiotic post. There's a fucking difference between being gay and being a paedophile.

what do you mean men are not meant to have children? Men are equipped to be fathers just as women are equipped to be mothers.

 

I am confused as to how a bi-sexual swinger can say proper family values has gone out the window.
