Homosexual's Adopting?

Do you think that it's fair to the children who they adopt?

Two homosexual's, adopting a little girl, or little boy?

Is it truly fair, to the children who the whom adopt? Do their children honestly deserve to go through cruel treatment for having two dad's, or two mom's? Going through school, everyday having another child from their school saying something to them about their mommy or daddy being homosexual. Little kid's can be harsh, but high schoolers can be worse.

I ask this because my cousin was adopted into a gay household and I feel so bad, for the treatment he has to go through everyday, kids asking question's, or kids teasing him. It's not right in my opinion and I think it should be stopped.

Please don't flame this thread, just post your own opinion.

 

I believe you should be able to adopt whomever you wish to. No matter your sexual orientation. I think people that are mature enough won't harass the child just because of the parents sexual orientation.

 

^Kids aren't mature..^ I think they shouldn't I couldn't live that down.

 

Hell yeah they should, they should be given every right that heterosexuals have as a people.

So what if the child gets made fun of? It makes the child stronger, it teaches them more about not hating others based on what there environment.

 

NO.. i don't believe so if u want kids go marry a woman.. like seriously.. think of how the child will react once he goes to school, he will get discriminated, and made fun of..so no i don't agree.

 

I feel almost the exact same as you here on this situation

Have you ever taken a step out side into the real world?

I agree

are you that stupid, think about the kid, not the parents

@@@@@@@@@@@

finally, ill re-post my post on the other thread on my views, which are pretty close to DDoS

are you seriously that shallow-minded?

Here, ill help you, think about it like this, it isnt the fact that they dont DESERVE a child but think about the SHIT that kid will go through when he has to tell his friends, this is my dad, and this is my other dad, or this is my mom, and this is my other mom.

Also think about the fact that, if two lesbians adopted a son, how would he actually have a father figure to look up to? how would he be able to ask anyone the questions a son would only ask a father or vice versa?

Now seriously, think about something before you ask a question that stupid.

 

Get over it, the kid will more than likely have a more loving household with a homosexual environment, than being raised in a damn christian household.

Okay, if you are talking about the child being made fun of, any child will be made fun of. Dont have something that they will make fun of? They will find something, and pick it to the bone. It doesn't matter if they pick on the homosexual parents, its the reasoning that they would find something else to pick on them about.

They could ask someone they look up to, that would help them with their current situation.

Er, how is that a stupid question? Your reasoning is off minded, and pretty lame if you ask me.

 

Honestly, there is nothign wrong with 2 gays being together.

I am Bisexual and have had a boyfriend before. Yeah i was made fun of but fuck them.

I think anyone should be able to Adopt a child as long as they are able to be parents.

 

Yes it's fair. If it's a child in elementary school then I doubt the kids will even know what homosexuality is. And if the child is in highschool he or she should have learned by then that it doesn't matter what people think of you or your parents.

 

Yes it's fair... my ass. It doesn't matter if they are in elementary school or high school. because when lil johnny brings his friend home rick ,and shows him both of his dads, you know rick will ask, where is your mommy, and at that age, EVERYTHING will leave a mark on how the kid grows up, no matter how small it is.


And if the child is in highschool he or she should have learned by then that it doesn't matter what people think of you or your parents.
^ that seriously made me LOL. Think about it like this then, do you know how many people commit suicide just because of bullying at school? It doesn't matter what the reason is, and when people start to bully you, they don't stop until you break, and they know how to push all the right button's to make you do what they want you to, fall apart.

 

That is a totally subjective statement, it has no place in this argument. Furthermore, "Christian household(s)" is not the only alternative to a homosexual environment. There are many Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, Bhuddist, Zoroastrian, Athetist, etc heterosexual households.

Adding fuel to the fire is just as bad as lighting it in the first place. Children have enough problems as it is, why should we burden them with more?

And if they do not have someone they look up to? Children have a very difficult time building strong bonds with other people. They are very connected to their parents because they spend their early years with them. Even in our later years it's hard to find people who we can trust as much as our parents.

Don't use Argumentum Ad Hominem, it is a fallacy. It does nothing to promote your argument.

-- My Own View

Whether Homosexuals should adopt or not is a difficult subject.

On one hand, homosexual couples can create confusion, harassment, and misguidance for the child. The child may get a wrong idea of heterosexual/homosexual relationships. Furthermore, the child may be harassed by outside sources, thus leading to very traumatic consequences. Lastly, the child may believe that being homosexual is "natural." Something which, in my opinion, is VERY alarming. Why? If our population contains to breed this insanity, we will die out. Two men cannot make a child, nor can two women, nature did not make it so. Without a doubt, a child adopted into a homosexual family will be somewhat "messed" up.

However...

Homosexuals may offer a loving environment for those otherwise, deprived children. Because there are more children up for adoption than heterosexuals looking to adopt, perhaps homosexuals should be allowed to adopt. The children wouldn't be in the best environment in a homosexual household, (for the reasons stated above) however, it would be better than living in some orphanage or horrible foster care.

When it comes down to giving the children gay parents, or no parents at all, I definitely believe homosexuals should have the right to adopt. This is the sole reason why I would be/am in favor of Homosexuals adopting.

 

No. Although I think gays marrying is OK, them having kids is crossing the line.

Kids should be brought up with a father figure, and a mother figure. And no, just because one dresses and acts like a woman doesn't count. Kids being picked on by others would be the least of my worries. The emotional differences and scaring that would happen would be unfair to the child.

 

If the choice is between having gay parents, or having no parents at all, I'm sure you would agree having at least one of these "mother" or "father" figures is better than having none at all.

 

People who don't get adopted usually get sent into foster care, where they usually have a mother and a father figure. It's not like they stay in the adoption center until they decide to move out on their own. There is also a shortage of kids to be adopted, so it's not like we need the gays to come to the rescue.

 

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/stats_research/afcars/trends.htm

"Between FY 2002 and FY 2006, the estimated number of waiting children was approximately 130,000 on the last day of each year."

This is the USA only, clearly there is not "a shortage of kids to be adopted."

Without a doubt, the more willing/caring parents available (gay or not) the better.

 

Its a matter of personal opinion, really. There is no right or wrong answer here which is what you're trying to prove I think.

The thing is, gays live a different lifestyle than straight people. Kids deserve a fair chance to choose whether or not to be homosexual, and they shouldn't be pre-exposed to gay actions before they are smart enough to think on their own. If a gay couple wants to adopt a teenager, be all means go ahead. But like somebody said before, people are not born gay. They learn form their parents and their peers the ways and customs of being gay.

 

Although ideally kids deserve a fair chance, they are not given this chance all the time. In fact, in our everyday lives we are not always given a fair chance. Like these children, we must choose between the better of the two worse.

Also the person who said "before, people are not born gay. They learn form their parents and their peers the ways and customs of being gay" was me, here's the post.

 

I dont believe gay's should be allowed to adopt.

Imagine the kids at scool teasing them, they could never live it down.

If i had a choice of gay parents or no parents at all id have none at all

 

These if a difference between being given good and bad choices, and being able to choose the wrong one, and being doomed to have a bias toward the wrong one at birth.

 

Erm... what? I don't see how this relates to the subject at hand.

Furthermore, as I said earlier, if the children have the choice between having gay parents or no parents, I see no reason why to refuse those children that choice. This way, the children have some sort of parental love/care in their life.
