Should gay couples be given the same legal rights as heterosexuals in adopting?

I agree with you, so what if they're gay. They want to help a child that doesn't have a home, good for them! Of course they need to go through the same stuff everyone has to; they need to be financally fit to take in a child; and if they are...great! They should be able to adopt. I don't understand how people could think it's better for a child/baby to go homeless rather than be in a loving home...no matter who their parents end up being.

I think all anyone who can pass the screening to become an adoptive parent should be allowed to, straight, gay, married or single. There are so many children in our foster care systems in need of loving homes, they shouldn't be denied a family because politicians are still in the dark ages when it comes to gay people. A gay person is no more apt to be abusive than any straight person. A gay couple aren't going to "turn a child gay"- if that's how it worked, the gay people raised by hetero parents wouldn't be gay! A gay person or couple has as much love to share with a child as any straight person or couple & should be allowed to do so.

I think that gay couples are just as capable of providing good future and giving love as any heterosexuals and should be givin the opportunity to adopt. There are so many children in this world that needs care and love and why should we shun those gay couples when they keep could help ease the suffering of some kids and give them hope for a better life and future? Sometimes those gay couples are even better at taking care of children because they have the tendency to give so much of themselves.

I don't really see any problem. In fact, I think adoption laws should be more relaxed across the board; too many people continue living without a family only because the bureaucracy is too strict. Imagine if every couple who wanted to conceive a child in the natural way had to undergo this same process!
