Hot Topic (3/23): Do you think same sex couples should be permitted to adopt children?

[Cafe GroupAdmin]

Why or why not?

Of course they should, there are too many children in limbo that need love and support who can benefit from having a loving home. Just because the couple are of the same sex does not mean they do not know how to care for a child, love them, and nourish them.

The fact that people are so against this blows my mind, I know so many people who were raised in a same sex couple's home and they are wonderfully rounded people. Same sex couples encourage acceptance, they encourage self empowerment, etc. Why deprive a child of a home just because the people who want to help them are of the same sex? The thought process makes absolutely no sense at all.

I dont even understand what the argument is againt same sex couples adopting.

As long as the kids are getting love, thats the main thing.

It depends on wether they are looking for the perfect white baby whether or not they would make a difference or not, but I can't see why they should be denied. There is currently a seven year wait if you want to adopt a white infant through the state. If you don't care about race you can adopt within a year. That is why people wait and why kids are dangling in the system. The majority of the kids  available are non white.

Yes they should. T:here are too many kids without homes. Same sex couples can love the same as everyone else. Whats the big deal?

[lilmaiyagirl]

Yes, they should. Why shouldn't they? They deserve the same rights as a heterosexual couple, Marriage, adoption. I am all for HUMAN rights, Does not matter if you are gay or straight or bi-sexual.

I say why not? There are too many children in the world that do not have homes, food, clothing, etc. If they can provide the love and support why should they not be able too. I think its discriminating to not allow them based on their sexual preference. 

[Junebug926]

Absolutely! There are same sex couples out there that are FAR more qualified to be good parents than MANY heterosexual couples.

I have two aunts that are gay and they are AMAZING parents.  They adopted a liitle boy and they are very happy with each other.

Of course they should. If they can provide a loving, stable home for a child, there is no reason to deny them.
