Just looking for a way to get the board moving even more.

Take two sets of parents bith can provide great homes and love to the child who is up for adoption.

Which set of parents should get the child and why?

Why would one be better than the other. I don't get it! Love is love, right?

I was not expecting that from you.

[Stardust]

^ I'm not sure that I get it. We have friends that have a gay gay households who are raising children. From what I can tell, the kids at home see to be just fine. Neither family has teenage children, thus I can't speak on both the social aspects nor how the teenagers who may have to deal with the social issues are reacting.

I can't speak for who provides more care or love based on sexual preference. I've seen heterosexual who are terrible parents (from my perspective). I guess that I can put it this way, I can't tell by the kid alone, what the sexual orientation of his home is. I can usually tell a kid who either is cared for or not, but that gives me no indication of who is raising them.

This has nothing to do with my feelings towards sexual preference. I'm not necessarily open to it, but, as I said, we have friends who fit this discussion. Hell, I have no issues with RunItUpTheGut who has a preference for farm animals, Sheep in particular, but he seems to take good care of his offspring....nicker:

Whichever couple proves that they will raise the kid the best, and give them the most love. Like SD said, sexual preference gives no indication of which couple will give the kid the best home, and best upbringing, coupled with which couple will give the kid the best opportunities in life.



BTW, you are good. You are an even better shit stirrer than me. LOL. Keep em coming.

[Stardust]

I wasn't saying one would be better than the other I was only putting the question out there.

[Stardust]

^ and I was putting a question right back at ya'...

[MustangSally]

my parents were very frivolous, frolicsome, and fun-loving
Just like the Flintstones,we always
had a yabba dabba doo time,
a dabba doo time,
we had a gay old time

[MustangSally]

Then again I had a great aunt on my Grandfather's side of the family who would always talk about smoking her "fags" Guess she would be shocked today if she knew what that means now

[Stardust]

^ The only fag to legally smoke today is, well, a fag! You can do more in a resraunt with your sexual partner than you can with a cigarette

[MustangSally]

so true
But in Beautiful Campbell CO we still have a choice as do our brethren in Boone. The fools in the middle sold out to political correctness though

May i reccomend sheep. Great fit for an average man....

And remember, as you always say, closer kin, deeper in nicker:

[Stardust]

^ LOL, I should have saw that coming

If they are equal in all areas, then I would allow the adoption agency to decide.

I will say this, and I'm sure many of you will not expect me to say it:
If the homosexual couple will provide a good home and be loving parents, with a completely clean record, and the financial ability to raise the child, by all means allow it.
I wish that they would loosen up the rules on adoption, somewhat. Too many children are born into and grow out of adoption agencies. I do not know all of the rules and will not pretend to. Maybe TRV or someone knows the rules and can explain them.

I do know that there is a bigger want for children than we realize.

[crazytaxidriver]

I don't understand adoption agencies at all. Regardless o sexual preference I don't see how some families are allowed to keep having kids while some can't catch a break. The system is flawed. Terribly. I hear stories all the time of people adopting while not having anything good going for them while some people that would make awesome parents are turned away. It's almost as bad as the justice system.

As far as who should be allowed to adopt based on sexual preference I would be more apt to lean towards male/female parents who could raise a child as their own. Now I'm. OT completely against same sex marriages adopting, but I would recommend they adopt while the child is still a baby to possibly avoid psychologically damaging the child further. Imagine how hard it is to hear that you were given up as a child only to be implanted in a home that is still not universally accepted

[toussaints]

I know why there are people that have an issue with gay couples and such, but personally, as long as the children are in a safe environment with loving parents, then I have no problem with 2 men or 2 women raising a child.

[Real Badman]

I'm torn on the issue.

I agree with the couple who is BEST fit to raise the child should, however you can't compare that to the psychological aspect of having a Mother-Father. Two gay men or two gay women cannot give the same care as a man and a woman. Please note I said "the same care" don't take that out of context and assume it's better or worse. A child, be it girl or boy, in my opinion, will need a mother and father. The girl will need a mother to bitch about her boyfriend, and a boy will need a father to teach him how to throw a fast ball. I'm pretty sure everyone can visualize where I'm going with this, however I believe this doesn't compensate for the straight couple to be bad parents.

That doesn't happen much in this day of 50% divorce rate.

[vundy33]

lol..

Whatever couple can provide for the child the best. The gay or straight thing doesn't matter one bit.
