I don't see why they can't. It's better to have two parents then one I personally think.  |

Yes, they should be allowed to adopt-anything else would be prejudiced against homosexuality.  |

Yes...beause there are so many children that are unloved and need homes and there are a lot of people out there with big hearts who cant have their own. I think there is nothing wrong with it and I totaly support it.  |

Yes I think they could. Why wouldn't they be able to?  |

Yes, ONLY if they think they can care for a child like normal parents. and not let there child get called names and stuff at school, because there parents are gay. Which is wrong. if they can care for the child as normal parents can, yes, but if they can't, no.  |

It IS a free country, i just feel bad for those people that are tortured for being gay, (did you know that gay could be in a geen that God gave them, it is not a sin to be gay, i read that somewhere) I have seen this at school, i am just glad that i am not gay.  |

Whats really annoying to hear is that if a kid is raised in a gay home, they'll turn "gay" ...if it's meant to happen, it's gonna.. not because of their parents either. |

Here we go again. Yes, I feel any one or couple has the right to adopt, it does not matter if it is a straight couple or a gay couple. Just because you are gay does not mean you can't be a parent or that a person being gay will end up makeing their children gay.  |

I can see both sides of this debate/discussion. On the one hand there are many who would say that gay couples should not be allowed to adopt as they would not be able to give a balanced view of family life to the child. Some people even think that to live with gay parents might even 'cause' the child to become gay itself. i disagree with both of these views, surely there is little difference in the 'balance' of a single parent family and that of a gay family. Both situations only give the child a single gender of parent to learn from. In my opinion people in a stable and loving relationship, whatever their gender, should be considered as potential adoptees, there are many children in this world who would welcome the chance to be loved and cared for in a secure environment, gender has little to do with security.  |

There are so many kids out there that need homes with loving caring adults Who am I to say these kids should not be cared for by a Homosexual couple.  |

So basically you could have the pedophile priests leave the priesthood, adopt children and then they could do as they please. Perhaps NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) could run an adoption site for its members. I think that you just open the doors for pedophilia. Yes I know the difference between being gay and being a pedophile, but how would an adoption agency tell the difference?  |

I think that gay people can love and care for a child just as good as straight people can. There's no reason that they shouldn't be able to adopt if you ask me   |

To say that if a straight kid is raised by gay parents they will turn gay is about as silly as saying if a gay kid is raised by straight parents it will turn them straight |

Wild Bob, I don't think a paedophile priest would be considered a stable and loving family! |

Wild Bob, if you know the difference between Gays and Pedophiles, and I know the difference-what makes you think that an agency wouldn't? Straight people are pedophiles-have you forgotten that? Or would you rather just harbor some reason to not like gays? And while we're at it-being gay isn't contagious-its not a cold-it doesn't just jump around and infect you. Sheesh. |

ABSZ you can't be serious! Look at it this way..if being gay is contageous..they could just use leaches to get it out of them.. :/  |

From Authorid: 21266
i never said it was contagious, lol, what im saying is a kid does look up to its parents, and some might even want to be like their parents, disregarding their choices as kids, they're raised and brought up to believe that being gay is normal, and might want to be gays themselves. |
| Date: 8/14/2002 2:24:00 PM From Authorid: 54196 WildBob's comment is everyone's worst nightmare. Maybe under very careful conditions should a gay male couple be given a young boy. I doubt you'd let two straight guys living together adopt a young girl, so... |

Of course you can't become gay like "catching a cold". But, if you grow up in a household were same sex relationships are the norm isn't that going to be confusing for a child? Children learn by examples. I'm not saying a gay parent couldn't be loving but I do think it isn't an appropriate lifestyle to raise children in. Apparently, I lied earlier when I said I wasn't touching this debate with a 10 ft pole lol. |

Actually, look at the priests who are currently under attack. Most of the sexual abuse was man/boy. I believe that it was 90% and that is definitely not heterosexual. Being gay does not make one a pedophile, but gay pedophiles do exist. Also, I do have friends that came out after they had children. In no way would I even think that they would harm anyones child. But the question remains, how would you spot two pedophiles who couple up just to have access to children? I am not a gay basher, but I really do have a concern about pedophiles having another route to access children. sheese yourself persephone |

YES. I'm sure the kids would rather have any parents than none. And what is the difference between gay parents and 'regular'? It is also ridiculous to say, 'gay parents = gay children' because what about Heterosexual parents that have gay children? And currently our Pres. is a (insert bad word) hick who hates everyone but WASPS. *rolls eyes* So I doutb that a major change will come any time soon. But gays should be allowed to adopt everywhere.  |

Wild Bob, as difficult as it is now for two gay men to adopt, I doubt that two pedophiles would be given children. Seems as though special scrutiny is given to the gay community during adoption procedures. And no, I don't sheesh myself-this is my opinion, I am entitled to it as you're entitled to yours. I just disagree with you. |

HELLO people!!!Gay does not equal pedophile! There are straight people that are pedophiles too. Yes I believe that gay people should be allowed to adopt. It is about what type of person you are not your sexual preferene! There are equally "good" and "bad" people that are straight and gay.  |

why shouldnt they? i think that if they are truly gay, they are born like that, it isn't their fault.that is only my opinion though. If they want a child have a ball! Go adopt a kid! i dont mind. ~WFP~  |

Gay people should be allowed to adopt if they are in a relationship--- it doesn't matter where the love comes from as long as a child is loved and looked after. It is absolutley ridiculous to say that gay parents will make a child gay. Unless the kid goes to an all gay parented school, he is gonna know that his home life is not the only option and if they are any kind of parents they will explain these things to the kid. As for the whole paediophile argument you are only discussing PRIESTS look at all the mothers who abuse their children yet in a divorce proceedings they will still be given the kid......... Paedophilia will occur no matter WHO can adopt children.  |
