Should homosexuals be allowed to adopt children?

Absolutely! There are so many children that need homes in this country. I think its a shame that this is even an issue. Imagine what the world was like when we discriminated against people based on their skin color. Now people are discriminating against others based on sexuality. It actually makes me sick!\n\nWow, I really can't believe the ignorance from people in this country. Its so sad, actually. Get Enlightened People!

I think any time you can put a child in a permanent, loving and nurturing home, then you should. Who cares what the sexual orientation of the parent are if they can love and provide for the child. And no, I don't think the child will end up homosexual because of it.

Good question. don't know for sure til it happens. I plan to wait until marriage to have sex, and if I never marry, I may remain a virgin for the rest of my life. So I suppose I could, but is it really fair to expect that? I am sure that is part of your point. Why should homosexuals be expected to do something heterosexuals are not expected to do? I don't believe homosexuality is wrong, just different from society's definition of the norm. It might make reproduction difficult, but not everyone wants to have kids anyway. only God knows someones heart and the decision should be made between the people involved and God. don't worry about the opinions of others.

No, Gays should be executed for being who they are no matter who thinks it's a sin.  The real shame is that there are plenty of Christians here who would love to re-institute the same kinds of laws here in the USA.

I have five children and do not care if they are gay or straight, but will love them no matter what.  This means that I value my children higher than or at least equally as much as myself.\n\n"This kind of love is rare, because not many would find something so desirable that the object itself is more valuable than their desire for it."\n\n***robert_delahunt needs to find God!***

Different countries have different policies, in china even single people can adopt children. In the USA only Florida totally bans gay/lesbian adoption, in other states it varies by county. It is often harder for anyone to adopt in the USA. In lots of other countries it's easier, sometimes it's because of that countries ideas about sexuality, sometimes it's because of the number of children that need to be adopted. So it really depends on how far your willing to go, and what kind(age/race/heath) of child you want. Here's a web sight with more info. Good luck.\n\nhttp://adoption.about.com/od/gaylesbian/a/gayadopt.htm

yes I think that they should be able to. those who argue that it is not natural, look at dolphins. dolphins are bisexual. humans are not the only ones who are attracted to the same sex. if it makes the couple happy who is anyone else to say if it is right or wrong? and for those who argue with not being able to reproduce, think on this: there are thousands of men who donate to sperm banks each year. why not use some of it to artifically inseminate so that a lesbian couple can have children? and for a gay couple, why not adopt? there are so many children who need homes, let a gay couple adopt them and give them a home. and there is nothing that says that a gay or lesbian couple who has children will have gay or lesbian kids, or be bad parents. my parents are straight, and I am bisexual. if anything the child will have a better understanding of the gender of the parents. \nI think that people who oppose the idea of same sex marriges are just close minded and afraid. they will legalize it eventually. those who oppose it are just prolonging the inevitable. the gay and lesbian community is growing at such a rate that they will make it legal just to get votes. but I support the cause, and I think that it is natural.

haha\n\nWell, I guess the next step is gay interracial couples wanting the ability to adopt non-Christian, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic children without the consent of the Church.

Yes, and I feel it's a moral issue.  How dare people discriminate against people for something that is in-born in them!\n\nReligion has no place in this argument.  This country was founded on the principal of separation of church and state.  Marriage is a legally recognized contract, and the church should have no say in the matter.  If a church doesn't believe in gay marriage, they don't have to let the gay couple get married in their church.  If individuals don't believe in gay marriage, they shouldn't marry someone of the same sex.

I dont know.  I know that I want to adopt but I do not know how I will know that child is for me.  I will just pray that God will show me.\n\nI am going to adopt from overseas and I will not specify if it is a boy or a girl or health.  I would prefer a child that was not mentally handicapped but if that is the one God wanted to give me then I would take it.  All babies deserve someone to love them.

As long as they take care of the kid and show it love and respect and give it a safe place to live I say let them adopt!

:}\nSalvation results in adoption into the family of G-d, sonship.\nIf your son has sex and does drugs;;\nWill he still be your son?\nWill you punish him?\nDoes G-d punish those who he loves?

Yes, i would adopt from China probably, (since they are a hard surpressive government and they are not too nice to female children.

Nope gay peoples should never allowed to get married.\nBecause marriage for for a man and a woman and it leads to a family. They should find their way of dealing with each other and leave the marriage thing for people who wants to have a family

I would and will be adopting an Ethiopian child within the next 2 years. Ethiopia is the only country in Africa willing to allow adoption of their children. At least that is what I read somewhere. And every child deserves a home, whether it be abroad or here in the states.
