So all single parents should immediately give their kids away?



Straw man

Quote:

Plenty of kids are raised just fine by same sex cpls..and plenty more are neglected and abused by hetero cpls.



True. However, with all other conditions equal, heterosexual couples are better adoptive parents because the adoptive family environment is similar to the biological environment.

Quote:

I'd much rather a kid get adopted by a loving gay cpl then languish in the hell that is the system.



Me too. Your argument, however, is a classic example of false dilemma. In reality, people who are interested in adopting a kid often wait YEARS before a suitable child is available.

Quote:

Too many kids need homes to deny good ones because of what genitalia they both have.



Oh come on, Cameron! Men and women differ in many ways, it's not just about their sex organs.



People wait because of red tape.Or because they want a very specific child(infant,white,blue eyes,etc...etc...)Not because there arent plenty of children who need homes.

If a gay cpl meets all the other requirements..and then some since many gay cpls are willing to take older children,children with special needs,etc..that nobody else wants...then they should be allowed to adopt like anyone else. It isnt like a child ONLY gets male or female influences at home. A loving,responsible home with a same sex cpl is still a loving,responsible home. Just because a cpl is hetero doesnt mean they are the best parents.
The decision should be based solely on who can provide a secure loving home. It should have nothing to do with sexual orientation. Hell...singles can adopt and thats not a traditional mom/dad home. So why is one parent better then 2 same sex parents???

Its a stupid argument based on ignorance and religion. Meanwhile...the kids sitting in misery in shitty foster homes or institutions are the ones who are suffering.

Not to mention that adoption in this country is WAY to difficult. I know many extremely capable cpls that would love to adopt,but cant because they havent been married the requisite number of years..and once they are they are too old or some other BS. Which is why so many people adopt from overseas. But thats a whole other rant...
