Gay couples adopting children

Should gays be allowed to adopt children? Why? Why not? Who benefits more? Is religion a good enough reason to abolish gay couples adopting children? Should this be legal? Will children be bullied at school?

ANSWERS WITHOUT JUSTIFICATIONS OR WITH ONLY ONE SENTENCE WILL BE DELETED

I think that hay couples should be allowed to adopt because they, as every human, have the right to have a family and give and receive love in order to be happy. Plus, the fact that children may grow up with several traumas does not come directly from the fact of their parents being gay, just the fact of being adopted is just enough for traumas to appear.

Gays couples be not allowed to adopt children, because this produce child problems development. Studies says that compare same-sex couples and heterosexual ones, found that children in homes with a married of a mother and a father do better than in homes of gays homes.
A child needs male and female roles models in theirs lifes or they may have an uncomfortable life during their childhood. Which may children be bullied at school because of no normal family that may have at the points of view of the other students. So, any country may accept it or make legal gays couples to adopting children.

In a certain way, the gays couples should be allowed to adopt children, because they can give the children the basic needs, (education, health, feeding). The benefit is for the coming generations, because that children that are in orphanages, or in the worst case on the streets, are likely to enter in the crime, drugs and prostitution. I think that the religion spoke by a minority, and not he majority of children who are homeless. This type of adoption should be legal, but with the sufficient warnings of the government above this couples. In order to start the gay adoption, our society requires tolerance for those couples, and their respective children.

I think what you are saying is correct because Human rights must be respected and applied for all of us. Homosexual people are individuals. They must have the same rights we do. Homosexual parents can be responsable, good parents but firstly lovely. Love is love and that is what a children needs in his/her life. Nowadays the world has changed. We must become more open minded. We must think more positively. We must think of the benefits of homosexual people adopting children and not only what is bad.

I do not agree because the problem is not with gay people but with society. If a kid is bullied by someone at school because their parents are gay is a problem of the kid who did the bullying because he has no right, the problem is that the kid was not well educated at home. Gay couples have nothing bad and if this society does not tolerate them is a big problem of lack of education. Society has to change in order for children to be adopted by gay couples and not be afraid of being bullied.

In certain way, you ' re right, because gays couples have the right of adopt children, and offer them the basic needs. But, I strongly disagree in the fact that having gays parents, don't affect their children, because our actual society without tolerance do not accept the drastic changes, and the majority will not accept this couples and their children.

Manuela, what you're saying makes no sense at all. How can you say that studies affirm that children have a better development with heterosexual parents when the American Academy of Pedriatics, an organization fully dedicated to the health of all children states that all parents, regardless of their sexual orientation have the right of full adoption and foster care " as the best way to guarantee benefits and security for all children." Also, you shouldn't forbidd homosexual parents to adopt children with the excuse they might be "bullied." Why can't you, dedicate yourself to educate and teach children of new generations to not discrimate, to not "bully" other children who live in different families or to tolerate the other's way of living  instead of  criticizing and stating homosexual couples shouldnt be allowed to adopt?

I totally disagree with you Manuela because, first of all, there is no need to have specifically a female role model and a male role model. A lot of mothers and fathers have to raise their children alone, and this doesn't affect at all the children's development. Also, I don't think having two mothers or two fathers would make anyone's live "unconfortable". I believe most children would be glad and thankful to be part of a family. Finally, bullying occurs because our society has been told we need to be a certain way to be accepted, which is not true. They aren't a "no normal family", they are just different. Gay couples should be allowed to adopt children. They aren't the problem, the real problem is this society's way of thinking.

Manuela, What problems could the child present?, the only difference this kids could have is having her/his parents of the same sex, and this can't affect at all, they way that the kid progress and behave depends of the parents. There are heterosexual couples that doesn't know how to educated a child, and don't do good at home so how can you say or studies say that "children in homes with a married of mother and father do better than in homes of gays homes"?. Is not about having parents of different sex is about the care they have in you, and homosexual couple can give more love to an child than a heterosexual couple, all that matters is the love they have in you. We are in a world that is fighting against discrimination and this should not affect at all the kid, and people should acostumbrate to this because later this be completly normal.

Manuela what your are saying is a total ignorant. Who tell you that the children is going to have development problems ? Society is changing and so we have to do it to. Your mentality is totally old fashioned. Homosexual marriages deserve the same rights as heterosexual marriages. Besides, you can have a homosexual relative. Would you like he or she was judged as you are doing? I don't think so.

Manuelacastrillon I totally disagree with you, you are saying that children could grow better in heterosexual couples, but how can you say that when the highest percentage of family violence is given in heterosexual families, ;moreover, how can you say that if an orphan children has the opportunity to have love and care in their life with same -sex couples , they wouldn't have the same growing process, your image of this problem it's very antiquated because you are saying you would denay the opportunity to have love and care to a children just because you are discriminating gay couples? I totally disagree with your point of view.

I can't not believe what you have published, because the fact that the gay couple adopt could get problems to their kids in the future. For example the kids need a mathernal and pathernal model. He also can get bully or deprimed in the school when the parthners start talking about the parents or make him bully for his parents.

Manuela, how come can you say that gay couples cannot be allowed to adopt children saying that it produces problems on their development, do you know exactly that "all" children are affected? Do you have real facts on all children that have problems on their development? If gay couples are ready and correctly prepared to adopt a children and teach him right they are not doing less or more than an heterosexual couple could do for their children, gay couple should be prepared to adopt children in order to make their children make comfortable with the fact that their parents are homosexual. Another thing I'm totally in disagreement is that you said that children at school may be bullied by other children because of their parents because it's true that some kids may have problems but their parents have to take mesurements for this not to happen and obviously that don't makes it wrong for a gay couple to adopt children as you said.

I totally disagree with you Manuela, I can believe you are saying something such ignorant and homophobic; however is what your thoughts are based on. I think same sex couples should be allowed to adopt children because they need to have their rights as any other person. If they don't have rights then there is no freedom, or no happiness. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it violates our rights, article 2 says "everyone is entitled to the same rights without discrimination of any kind''. No one can't decide whether how or with who someone is going to educate a child; is the person time, money and patience. They at least are going to have someone to care, than having children at orphanages. If we create an educated society they will not be any discrimination to the kid, because respect is the base of everything.

Manuela i totally disagree with you , your thoughts are so ignorant about homosexuality that you think a child raised by a gay couple will change their behabior. I think you are totally wrong, gay ccouples have the right to have his own family and children also have the right to have their one family don't matter if it is homosexual or not. All that matter to raise a family is love that one has for each other.

I'm not against homosexuality but in my opinion I think homosexual persons may not be allow to adopt children's becouse these brings a lot of problems to kids. An example can be in school , can you imagine the bullying people will make to these kid because of his patents, or also the childhood these Kids will have
