  • How do you feel about adoption of children by same sex couples?

    I'm going to get flamed for this.

    I would rather see a child be adopted into a loving home with two moms or two dads, than to be born into a home with alcoholic/abusive/drug-addicted/etc. parents. There are so many people in our world right now that are "accidentally" having children. If a child is born into a home where dad is not around and mom is too busy trying to get her next high, I'd rather see that child go into a home with a same-sex couple that will truly love that child and each other, than to stay in a dysfunctional home where they will not be properly loved and cared for. In a world where Britney Spears can have children that she can't care for, I'm perfectly fine with seeing a same-sex couple adopting children that they CAN care for.

    Mind you, I still believe that same-sex relationships are outside of God's will, but given the options, I currently have no problems with homosexual couples adopting.

    Interesting topic. I started thinking about this after watching an episode of Friends, you know, Ross' wife turned Lesbian, married another woman and they are raising her and Ross' son.


    I don't agree with homosexuality. But I suppose I would also have to say that it is preferable for a potentially endangered child to live in a loving home than to lose their life. Although I can't help but wonder what the confusion factors might be for a child raised by a same-sex couple. I can't say for sure, but that could be just as damaging to a child as being raised in the foster system, or in a dysfunctional home. Obviously not in the same way, but still...


    I don't have any answers to this, just what I can piece together in my head.

    I agree with you.  A loving household with two parents is more important than a broken household with one parent ... or two unfit parents.  The US has failed its youngest citizens by allowing its adoption system to fall apart (especially when it comes to the adoption of US minorities).  Same sex couples who want a child should freely be allowed to adopt, under the condition that they raise this child in a loving household.
