Of course same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt! There is NO scientific evidence that states that homosexuals don't make good parents.

I think that couples in a same sex relationship should be able to adopt children. They should be put through the same tests as normal couples to see if they are going to be good parents, and if they pass, then they should be able to adopt children.

As long as it's a good home, who cares

but then again the child might not like the fact when they grow up that thats who there parents were...but then again back to my original comment as long as its a good home i think its great
someone i am related too was artificially inseminated? and she has a partner.. I wish she just adopted instead of doing something like that

Yeah I think they should, but the kids aren't going to like when two moms or two dads come to pick them up from school.

pandora_spocks · 01-27-2003, 06:13 PM

Yes, I think they should be allowed. I don't think it should matter if they parents are the same sex or not. Just as long as the child(ren) get the love and support they need.

Yes that's true but none of us got to pick our parents and very few kids are not embarrassed by their parents.

Sexual orientation has nothing to do with being a good parent. The only thing I could see wrong with it that everyone would agree with is that the child more than likely will be made fun of.

HEY I WAS GOING TO POST THAT

Anyway ditto.

There are plenty of opposite sex parents that have no business being parents. I see no reason why same sex couples can't have the right to be parents.

Yeah, I agree with you.

~*Hannah_Lee*~ · 01-27-2003, 11:45 PM

I think they should. If they appear to be capable of being good parents, then why on earth should they be stopped? With all the abandoned children in the world, why would someone put a barrier on adoption for that reason?

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 01-27-2003, 11:53 PM

I think they should. Same sex couples shouldnt be deprived of having children.

Swimfan85 · 01-28-2003, 12:07 AM

Exactly. And my opinion goes the same for homosexual families and opposite sex familes (mom and dad). As long as they aren't abusing them, or are a broken family, who honestly cares?
