GAY ADOPTION ... I KNOW, I KNOW, this is touchy. Controversial too. Still it is a topic we're not afraid to discuss.
Soooooooooo ?
How do you see this? Are you in favor of ALLOWING adoption to same-sex couples , OR are you oppossed? Why?
Bonus: WHICH IS BETTER? A SAME SEX COUPLE WHO WOULD LOVE A CHILD, OR HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO MISTREAT AND/OR NEGLECT A CHILD ?

I am oppossed. I agree with scripture's plan for a family ... simply a man and a woman. Babies come next. However i do believe adoption is a wonderful choice.
as for the bonus question... i'd say it's a tragic and terrible situation that occurs sadly too often, that is children who are mistreated.
I can't go along with a same sex couple raising kiddos, even if they're wonderful parents.
Man, this is a tough one.
Frodo here,
I believe that a same sex couple raising a child is wrong in the fact that the child will be brought up with the idea thats its ok to be homosexual and its natural. studys have shown that its is a choice and not some genitic default gene. In all reality the child has a slim chance of living a truly honest life.
I am very opposed! They should not be able to adopt or even artificial frozen pops!!! I work with children and see these types of situations very regularly. By the time these kids hit teenage years they are confused of what is right for a relationship. People say that they are born like this! Bull crap. It is learned and sometimes forced towards people. My aunt is a lesbian but I love her to death. She was married 5 times and all 5 men were abusive to the core. She started batting for the other team to find comfort. She told me that. I dont blame her one bit. Raising a child? I would tell her no!!!
On another note, homosexuals think they have more rights than heterosexuals. They want better jobs and want the same rights as a heterosexual. HELLO, YOU ALREADY HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY!!!
Hope everyone is doing well!
Honestly JB
Wow this is quiet a difficult subject. Sexual immorality is SIN. Yet I feel that God has already choosen his people. The elect will not be harmed even if they are children and have immoral guardians. I find that pray and love goes a long way and covers a multitude of sin.
Théoden here,
I am opposed to allowing a same sex couple to adopt a child.
As to my reasons I'll start with the bonus question:
WHICH IS BETTER? A SAME SEX COUPLE WHO WOULD LOVE A CHILD, OR HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO MISTREAT AND/OR NEGLECT A CHILD?
I believe that it is tragic and terrible that a child subjected to any enviornment other than one in which they are loved and cherished.
I believe that homosexuality is a choice. It is my observation that a primary characteristic of this choice is 'self-love'(while I could go on about how this manifests -- another blog perhaps) what this ultimately means is that the homosexual places theirself and their feelings above those of everyone else.
It is interesting to note that almost all same sex unions are of limited duration, while independant data is difficult to come by, what studies have been done have shown that almost all last less than seven years.
On a side note: I recently read an editorial that asserted that one of the primary reasons that the country is currently having a debate on same sex 'marriage' is that the Legal system wants jurisdiction over the disolution of assets when such unions terminate. The article estimated that such ligigation would earn the legal community billions each year.
It is my belief that it is impossible for a homosexual couple to love and cherish child in the way that God intended for parents to love and cherish their children.
wow.
your reply is certainly well thought out and articulated.
having said this, you bring up strong reasons to back up your comments.
kudos theoden.
the piece regarding billions of dollars certainly is a new angle that i've never entertained.
please check out our other topics and thanksgiving for joining the blog.
Personally I think that homosexuality has nothing to do if they are going to be good parents. I have known many straight people that are bad influences on their children. Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they are incapable of raising a perfectly normal child that is full of GOD's love. The important thing to remember here is that they are taking care of the child and showing them love. I am not gay and do not really like the idea, however I AM very open minded. I guess this goes back to how my parents raised me. To like all people no matter how different they are. Whether being gay is a choice or a genetic defect is unknown to me personally. Adoption should not be denied strictly on if a couple is gay.
