*************Not only are they raising children already, children of lesbian parents do better than their peers.
M*W: I'm not lesbian, but why am I NOT surprised?
*************Not only are they raising children already, children of lesbian parents do better than their peers.
*************As a child i needed to know that breasts were available. Even if i was not breast feeding i had the need to know they were present. Perhaps this is psychological. TBH, i would not mind lesbians adopting me and more for nurturing purposes. That said, i am not really steadfast one way or another and they can be good parents just depends on the individual.
*************I'll word it differently. When did your need for your mother's breasts to be present and available, after you'd stopped breastfeeding, stop?
I mean when you were a toddler? As in 18 months or something when you would probably have stopped breastfeeding and felt comfort at being held by your mother..? I stopped breastfeeding just after my son was 15 months, and within a month, my son never even looked at my breasts for nourishment. Hence my curiousity.
*************so what your saying is that bottle feeding is as "bad" as being a homosexual?
Interesting view point concidering the whole INDUSTRY which has sprung up around formula. Personally im all for breast feeding because of the health benifits to mother and child and the longer the better (for instance the WHO recomend AT LEAST 2 years) but still your comments are apsoloutly STUPID. Edipus complex much????![]()
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?
what about mum and dad who are drug addicts and neglect their children and put them in harms way every day?
what about mum and dad who are irresponsible idiots who know damn well they can't take care of a child, are unwilling to, and yet fuck around and create a child anyway?
what about mum and dad who are so busy with their careers and their social lives and keeping up with the joneses, that they don't even know their children, accept to be the recipient of an occasional toy to keep them busy and shut them up?
what about mum and dad who argue and fight and threaten constantly, keeping their children in a constant state of emotional distress and panic?
what about dad who comes home every other night and beats the shit out mum and perhaps the kids too?
what about them parents?
Despite the deliberately offensive tone of his post, the point is valid. The very fact that we are discussing whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to adopt makes clear that some people think that they shouldn't. Being aware of this controversy, homosexuals who adopt children might well feel driven to prove what good parents they can be and make more of an effort than a heterosexual couple.Please be aware that the term "homos" is potentially offensive. Try to use more neutral language in future.
Now, what do you think they have to prove?
