Most countries outside of the US will not allow a gay couple (or individual) adopt. Here in the US I know many gay couples who have adopted. They are in open adoptions with the first family who selected them to parent their child.

If I was in a situation where I was making an adoption plan for my child, I wouldn't care if a prospective family was gay or straight - I would just care if they had the same morals and ethics as myself and that they would love and care for my child.

I'm adopted. I wouldn't care if my aparents had been gay. Gay people are just as good at being parents as straight people. As long as they were good to me, it wouldn't have mattered.

The idea that someone can "turn" another person gay is silly. A person is either gay or not. People don't "become" gay.

I am adopted and wouldn't have a problem. What people do in their bedroom has nthing to do with how they will treat or raise a child. I have a gay friend that o work with an dshe has a partner that she has been together with for over 10 years they have a set of 3 year old triplets. they didn't adopt them but they're kids are just as well rounded as everyone else.

im not sure about the other country adopting thing, but if i had to put my child up for adoption and a gay couple wanted to adopt it, i would certainly let them. only if i knew that they were kind, clean, and loving. i wouldnt want my baby in an unsafe enviroment.

go to www.achildiswaiting.com or call 1-866-yes-adopt.... this is a GREAT adoption agency! they can answer all your questions..... they arent advertised as "gay friendly" but they have never given the people that i know any problems... (i have one gay couple and one single gay friend that has used them) there are MANY MANY restrictions for foriegn adoption... not only are some against gay adoption but some countries restrict somt things as simple as being 30lbs over weight!
good luck! and best of wishes!
