Should Homosexuals Be Allowed To Adopt?

gay couple should not be allowed

Homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt...That will cause negative impact on the childs mental growth...Which is very dangerous..

As long as they are good people and are able to provide the child with a good life and take good care of the child, then I do not see any problem with it.

I don't think a child's sexuality could be influenced. If it could, trust me I would have been straight! My parents are complete homophobes. I say that gay couples could make just as good of parents as straight couples. I personally hope to someday adopt a couple of older kids (around 6 to 10 years old) and have a nice little family. Not many people are even willing to adopt older kids or siblings that are paired together.

yeah if they should be able to adopted. they want children and cant have them and the kids are stuck in foster homes that they dont want to be at. so why not. but heres another question for you. in most cases if someone wants to adoped a child, the child doesnt really have any say so on if he is going to be adopted or not. but if the child doesnt want to be adopted by homosexuals should they be able to say if they want to be adopted or not

Will a white couple raising an adopted asian chil influence the child's ethnicity? Will a tall couple raising a short child influence the child's health? Will average intelligence parents raising a genius child influence the child's intelligence? There's no proof that the orientatian of a parent at all influences a child. Orientatian is biological, not environmental. As long as a couple is financially stable, caring and able to give a child the love and attention they need, it doesn't matter who they are.

I have not much knowledge about the psychology of the hosexuals . But if I have to go by the knowledge acquired from my unsystematic readings, I think they are equally fit to bring up children and hence should be allowed to adopt to .However being homosexual does not make one fit for adoption . Other qualifications should be met .

Yes of course, if the couple has been together for a long time and are mature and responsible then yes I think they should.

Why not they have every right to a normal life as everyone else. Children have been known to grow up healthy and normal in homosexual homes as much as they do hetrosexual homes.

I think it all depands on how the child feel about things and who his parents treat him whetar they gay or not it dose't maters.

Sure. Why shouldn't they be allowed to adopt? I don't think they're sexuality would really influence the kid. --- --- --- "I certainly think Britney Spears is the devil. The way she projects herself and the fact that she is so obviously vacuous. I think it's such a shame that she became so influential to very small children." -- MORRISSEY --- --- ---

I'm not sure, would the gay couple influence the child's sexuality or not but still I guess, they shouldn't adopt. It could cause problems for the child in the school. The children are coming from very different homes, and not all of them are tolerant, and they could begin to tease the adopted child, who has two mothers or two fathers. The children can be very cruel to each other, even without understanding, what they are actually doing.

I think that a gay couple should definitely be allowed to adopt. Discrimating based on sexuality is just as bad as discriminating based on race or gender. I truly doubt that the gay couple would try and make their child gay as well. And even if they did, you can't help what you are, and if their son is attracted to women there's really not much they could do to change it.

no

Personally I think adoption is wonderful, and I would rather anyone adopt a child and give that child a life, than its life be snuffed out by abortion. I don't necessarily think it would influence a child's sexuality any more than living with a single parent might. Love is love.

Can straight couples not affect their child's sexuality?Straight people raise gay children all rhe bloody time, why would gay people not raise heteros, who..actually... cares what people turn out to be sexually, as long as their good people? I need an aspirin.

While I believe in homosexual marriages, I do not feel they should be allowed to adopt. A child needs a male and female role model in the household.

let's not judge people by its sexuality...lets give everyone a chance..adopting or having a child is a matter of responsibility

as I said in another question of this nature..."I'LL BET YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A GAY FRIEND..IF YOU WERE THE LEAST BIT ENLIGHTENED YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THEY ARE JUST AS CAPABLE AND LOVING AS STRAIGHT PARENTS ARE TO RAISE A CHILD! GAY PARENTS ARE NOT JUST OUT TO TEACH THE CHILD TO BE A HOMOSEXUAL..AS SOMEONE SAID BEFORE YOU CAN'T TEACH SOMEONE TO BE THAT WAY...THEY ARE BORN THAT WAY! GAY PEOPLE WANT ALL THE SAME THINGS FOR KIDS AS STRAIGHT PEOPLE DO AND THEY ARE MORE WILLING TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE TO SEE TO IT THAT THE KIDS HAVE THOSE THINGS! I THINK IN SOME CASES HOMOSEXUALS ARE A BETTER CHOICE FOR ADOPTIVE PARENTS THAN STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE...YOU NEVER HEAR OF HOMOSEXUAL PARENTS ABUSING THEIR KIDS AND I CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR STRAIGHT PARENTS!!"....sorry bout the caps not meaning to yell at anyone.

As long as someone is good , caring parent, why not? I have seen many bad hererosexual parents. I preffer good people....
