Quote by: underbear1 Seems heterosexuals just aren't stepping up to the plate, otherwise hundred of thousand adoptable children wouldn't be languishing in foster care homes, which are a nightmare, my friend was in 35 foster homes before he was 8 years old, and [b]BOTH he and his mentally handicapped sister were sexually and physically abused in more than one of those homes: | Your example is noted (although some research / evidence would be helpful in backing your story up). However, this is one failed adoption out of hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of succesful adoptions; of course there is going to be instances such as the one you described (in statistics it's called the normal distribution). Adoption is notorious for its red tape and cost which I think is one contributing reason to why so many are left unadopted; people just don't want to deal with that stuff and it's sad.
At the risk of repeating myself, I believe that homosexual couples are INCAPABLE of providing a proper environment necessary for the successful upbringing of a child. I am not saying that gays are less compasionate than ordinary people and their willingness to adopt is admirable. However, people are selfishly thinking about their own desire for a child and not what is best for him / her. One would think that first rule of parenting would be to put the child, not oneself, first. |
Your belief is noted..............so what you believe with no evidence is some how valid. You would deny even one child a loving adopted home because of your predjudicial views about what gay couples are capable of? Here's a clue gays are ordinary and remarkable people, we are also selfish or giving, responsible or can't be bothered EXACTLY like straight people. Some of us will be as good a parent as a straight person, and some will be better, and some will be worse, but don't deny those children a whole class of potential parents, on your "belief".
btw. with donar sperm,and women willing to carry chidren for gay men, your adoption ban won't stop many gays/lesbians from parenting IF THEY CHOSE!
BUT IF YOU ARE SUCESSFUL IN THESE HATEFUL
DIVISIVE CAMPAIGN TRICKS of winning another election vilifying queers, at least F*CKIN step up, and adopt the kids in foster homes.
