What are your detailed views on gay couples adopting?

The same as my views about anyone adopting. Love and security are what matters. Anyone who can provide that should adopt.
There are so many children who would benefit from living in a home of their own with loving parents. |

What is wrong with the world want it years ago where blacks had to sit at the back of the bus and where no black child should be raised in a white home. Look I'm not gay but I will tell you that what i have saw by some gay Friends. They are doctors and lawyers, actress etc. There houses are extremely neat and well maintain. I don't think a child will be hurt just loved. Most child perverts are married with children of their own. |

if a couple can offer a stable loving home for a child, even if its a gay couple then surely that would be better than growing up in care ?? |

I personally think it doesnt matter if your gay, straight, fat, thin, millionaire etc as long as you can offer a safe loving home to a child you should be able to apply to adopt, and as long as adoption authorities are up to date and closely monitoring prospective parents and children closely (gay or not) there should never be a problem xx |

I think if they can give a good , caring , loving home then yes i think they should adopt , I was adopted as a young child i ended up in a children's home , i cant remember anything thank god but apparently i had a very bad time , they are alot of children out there looking and waiting for a good home someone to love them and the more that want to adopt the better whether they are gay or straight , give a child a loving home they so desperately need |

Personally for me, if a gay couple can offer a stable and loving home then I dont see a problem, no-one can argue that a child is better off in care or abusive home than with a family that loves him/her whether they are straight or gay |

I know gay couples who are excellent parents but I couldn't care less whether they are or aren't able to adopt.
Nobody is entitled to someone elses child or have a 'right' to a child, whoever or whatever orientation they are. |

I think any permanent loving home, gay or straight, is better than foster care. I also believe in gay rights. My only concern is that, since gay marriage isn't legal in most states, a gay family may not have the legal permanancy/stability that kids need. It depends on the family, I suppose- if the couple has been together for a long time and shows no signs of separating, then it could be a good arrangement. |

I think it is ok.... as long as the child is in a loving environment... as for bullying... it happens anyway. Kids get bullied for being fat, thin, black, brown , tall, short,it's how you deal with it that matters.. so I think gay couples should be able adopt. |

I'm gay and me and my partner are adopting a 2y/o and a 13y/o next month. We can provide a stable and loving home for them (the oldest comes from an abusive home). |

Anyone who can provide a stable, loving, safe environment should be allowed to adopt. |
