Answer 1

No.  They shouldn't even be allowed to be called 'couples'.

Answer 2

Sure, why not? I dont see anything wrong with it.

I have a friend who was adopted by two moms; he loves them very much and nobody bothers him about it in school.

Answer 3

All children deserve a loving home & family.  If a same s*x couple can provide a loving, safe environment & family, then there is nothing wrong with it!  Just my 2 cents.

Answer 4

i feel that people of the same s*x should be allowed to adopt.  When did love get a gender?  I do have a little criteria that I would throw in it.  I would make the women adopt boys and the men girls.  That way its a little less confusing and gives the child a chance to deicde for themselves what their sexual orientation is not just based on who there parents are.

And I know a L*****n couple that is married (not legally but had a ceramony) they adopted a baby boy a couple of years ago (they knew the girl that was pregnant and she didn't want the baby she had like 4 kids).  And they are doing great.  They already had 2 (the girly one was married before and had 2 kids with her husband).

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

allot of different types of children have had to adapt to different situations. Darker skin, different religions, lighter skin, parents being divorced, parents with new moms or dads, abusive parents, parents with some sort of addictions. what i mean is this just because you come from a not so "normal" background doesn't mean that your going to end up as a none productive member of society. anyone (i believe) that has the patient and the good morale standing to raise a child should be able too.

Answer 7

Absolutely! Mind you I live in a country where g*y and L*****n couples enjoy the same rights as hetero's. This isn't even really an issue here anymore.  

I see nothing wrong with a g*y or L*****n couple adopting providing they meet the criteria set by the government and the agency.

Answer 8

wow rough question but yes as long as it is a loving couple. it doesnt have to be a male and female its about love and support a child should have those two things and otherwise no i would say that about a heterosexual as well if their not fit no if they are yes

Answer 9

I thought same s*x couples were already allowed to adopt.

I worked at a daycare about six years ago where there was a

female couple who I thought (apparently not?) adopted a

girl from China. The child was in a loving family. The "mothers" seemed to be great parents.

Oh ... to answer your question if a same s*x couple is married or who has been in a relationship for several years and not child molesters then yes I think they should be allowed to adopt.

Answer 10

yes, they should. being a good parent is not about what gender you decide to love. not only that, but g*y women can just go to a sperm bank and have their own children. men can't do that. so why can you let g*y women have children just because they can and not men.

Answer 11

Yes! Love is a universal thing... it means the same everywhere included same s*x couples.

Answer 12

Yes.  

As an adoptee, I find it infuriating that some people would rather let kids rot in the foster system than give them a chance for a stable home with two parents, all to satisfy their personal beliefs. But hey, why should they care? They'll never meet the kid that doesn't get a home!

Anyway, if you learn your sexuality from your parents, why aren't all children of straight parents heterosexual?

Answer 13

I voted: Both L*****n and g*y same-s*x couples should be allowed to adopt

and no discrimination ....

My reason .... Im thinking more about the orphans .... without parents and without a good home .... they didnt ask to be put there and I think they will be far better off in the hands of even one parent ... male or female or even both, same s*x, etc.

If a g*y couple want to help a child and give it a good home, why not??? what is so bad about that?

Later on in life they can explain to the child whats going on and how it is .... at least that child had a chance to be happy regardless of his or her "parents" s*x!!! They learn to love .... and I think the only time they might find a problem is when they become teenagers and get the "oh world feel sorry for me" attitude but deep down inside they know they're wrong.

Id say rather let the g*y couples male and female (doesnt matter which) adopt the children and give them a good home!

Rather get a chance than nothing at all.

Answer 14

no, the child will be ridiculed for  having a "different" family

Answer 15

no! i do not believe that a child should grow up with the same s*x parents! children are confused enough while growing up with the oposite s*x parents. trying to find themselves and so on. God did not create us to raise kids the way we wanted to but the way he wants us to. i know that the example of Adam and Eve is used alot but God had a reason for creating them first and i believe that we should abide by that reason. even if we dont understand his reasons all the time. i believe this world would be a better place if we obeyed and listened to God more.

Answer 16

Why do we have to ask this question all the time? IF they do then they do. As long as they can give that baby a good home. We cant judge people so let them. As long as they can give them a loving caring home.

Answer 17

i know everyone will hate this answer, but no, not in a million years. it will only teach the kids that homosexuality/lesbianism is ok, and it's not ok.

Answer 18

Absolutely.

Funny how people thing same s*x adoption is bad for children but that it is okay for a single man or woman. Besides, any child adopted by same s*x couples is better off than that child staying in an abusive heterosexual household!!!

Answer 19

yes all children deserve to be love whether its men or women that raise them

Answer 20

Absolutely!!!

Answer 21

No!  That will just make the child grow up gender confused, too!  Children need a MOTHER and a FATHER, not a mother and a mother or a father and a father.

Answer 22

Absolutely!!!  In fact, I'm gonna quote myself from a few days ago . . .

"A loving home is a loving home, period. Families are about providing unconditional love and support, and the belief that those things are strictly 'hetero qualities' is just plain silly."

Answer 23

Of course!

I really have trouble understanding why people say no. I mean, they're saying that being adopted by a loving, responsible same-s*x couple is worse for a child than growing up in an orphanage or between foster families.

Answer 24

Absolutely yes!! the only important thing is the well being of the child, if the parents love the kid then i don't see why not.

Answer 25

Yes.
