Opposed to gays adopting children - please read and respond?
|
For individuals opposed to gay couples adopting children. How do you respond to my statment that if the straight people that had the children were doing their jobs as parents properly there would be little need (not NO need but considerably less need) for children to go into adoptive custody.

How can anyone argue with that? |

Well frankly, I am a little tired of people putting a spin on things that if the gay parent does this or the straight parent does that, then this would happen. Bottom line if the parent did what was in the best interest of the child, then there would be no need for someone else to take, adopt and raise the child unless the parent realized that it would be better for the child if someone else did. Not because the parent was gay or straight, but because the parent couldn't give the child all the things that parent thought the child deserves |

I think that more married couples need to look into adoption. My dh and I are working at an orphans ministry at our church. We have helped fifteen families in our church of 400 people to become licensed as foster parents (some want to foster, some want to adopt). We adopted internationally & will probably adopt from the foster system at some point, too. We've got four kids.
So...we're a straight couple & are doing our jobs and doing them right.

I don't believe gayness (or whatever you call it) is right. I like gay people, i'm just against what they do. And I'm going to have a baby and I would never put it in a gay home. That's not healthy for the child or the parents. A child needs to have one mommy and one daddy and that's all.
Wow Mattress Money, your name and your avatar really make you look like a family phsycologist. |

Children need both a mother and a father, and they can't get that if the couple are gay. Simple as that. |

Gays should NOT be allowed to adopt children. A child needs a mother AND a father.
You don't know what goes on that makes someone decide to give a child up for adoption. You have not been in their situation and we should not judge them.
So are you saying that you are GAY because of something that your PARENTS did to make you that way? NO, it was a choice that you made on your own and I am sure that the perversion of that broke your parents heart and they are dreading the day you inform them that you are HIV positive or have full blown aids.
Don't criticize a person for giving a child up for adoption so that they can have a better life or not be aborted, commend them for having the courage to do the right thing, don't criticize their parents for doing something wrong...obviously if the one giving the child up is strong enough to do this, then their parents gave them the strength to do it. |
