How do you feel about adoption of children by same sex couples?
for one God didn't make two men or two women. He made one woman and one man and that is how I think it should be. I think kids should have a mom and dad in their lives. I just don't think it is right.I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

Then, are you also against adoption by single people? How about single Christian people?
@Ninso@xanga - If mom or dad left or pasted away I guess it might be ok. How much attention would the kid get if his mom or dad worked all day. the school year yeah he would be in school but during the summer time would he be at a friends house or a day care most of the time? If the child get love and attention from that single person they yeah I think it is ok.
@forchrist - Well in that case, you've undermined your entire argument. If the reason gay couples can't adopt is that god made man AND woman, then single people should not be able to adopt either because a child is meant to have two parents, one of each gender.
Obviously, the ideal situation is for a child to have a mom and a dad, but so many children out there don't have either and are institutionalized. Given that fact, don't you think a child should have the opportunity to be loved, even if its by a gay couple?
@Ninso@xanga - true, I guess they could love them. it is just better for a man to be in a family to have a authority figure. They might behave better if they a stronger hard to get through parent. you know with girls they need to have that mom to girl talks during life so if she had two dads how could she do that? so would gays guys adopt boys over girls and the same with two women?
No, I totally agree that the best situation is to have a mom and a dad. Regardless of the gender of the child, both a male and a female parent are important.
But we're talking about orphans here. If the choice is no parent v. a single parent or gay parents, I am all for getting that child into a loving home--not waiting indefinitely for a hetero couple to come along. Any obstacles can be overcome. Both men AND women can be strong authority figures--so the absence of a male in the home doesn't mean the child won't be disciplined. If a girl is being raised by two men, she can find another female role model to "girl talk" with.
