There are so many children in the world that don't have anywhere to go but into foster care or adoption agencies. Both have their own set of rules and guidelines, which exempt homosexual couples from becoming foster parents or adoptive parents.
My views on this are simple. I believe whether you are in a committed relationship with one from the opposite sex or one from the same sex you should have the same rights. If homosexual couples have all the means of supporting a child, such as, a loving home, and money to feed and clothe a child, just like heterosexual couples do, they should be able to adopt.
There are many people that would disagree with me. But if they don't agree just because they think that homosexual couples are going to raise a child to be homosexual then they need to rethink about it. Heterosexual couples have children all the time, some end up being a heterosexual and some end up being homosexual. It has nothing to do with who or how you are brought up that makes you heterosexual or homosexual, its how the person feels towards the same sex or opposite sex.

We watched those videos in class and the children seemed very happy with the fact that they had parents who were with the same sex. Of course there were little things that bothered them about it, such as getting tease at school but other than that they were very happy. I think as long as your parents show you love and also set limits with you that you will be brought of very well. There are many children who have parents of the different sex and they aren't taken care of very well. All I think that matters is the parents put their all into their children and do the best job they can. I don't think it would bother me if my parents were gay. All a child wants is to be loved and if two gay parents can provide that, I think its a good thing.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the video in class about children adopted by homosexual couples, my opinion on this topic even strengthened. Those children provided an inside look on how it feels to grow up in such families. Their experience shows that having same-sex parents is not detrimental to children, rather it is beneficial to them in many ways. From the video, it is also obvious that adopted children do not turn gay just because they were raised by gay parents. Instead, they appear to be very happy and well adjusted. So, to sum it up, if I had power, I would definitely allow same-sex couples to adopt children.
