No, and gay couples should not be able to adopt children

The LGBTQIA+ community has the right to work for a family as much as straight couples do. If they pass the same background requirements as a straight couple, nothing should prevent them from finding their family and giving homes to children struggling in the system.

If a couple of any kind goes through the adoption process, the screening and requirements are already incredibly extensive. If those channels determine the family is a good fit for adoption, then there is no reason they should be denied that.

As long as a couple holds the same eligibility standards as any other couple, they're sexuality is not going to influence their ability to raise a child.

Gay couples have the same abilities as straight couples and are just as fit to parent children. Just as straight parents will not force sexuality onto their children, the same is true for queer parents.

Gay couples are just as capable as normal couples of adopting children and if a child needs a home with loving parents why deny them just because their parents were Gay

Gay people are just the same as straight people and as long as they are good people and this is proven, gay or straight should be able to adopt children who are in need of a loving home.

It doesn’t matter if you have 2 dads or 2 moms or a mom and a dad, if you care for your child and love them you should be able to adopt or have children.

There is no difference to the raising of a child from gay couples than straight ones. All that matters is that the kid is happy and healthy, it shouldn’t matter who the parents love.

It doesn't matter if a kid has two moms or two dads as long as they love the kid and take care of them like they should.

The most common response to this issue that I hear is that "a child NEEDS a mom and a dad" whether they justify it by what their religion says, which with the existence of other religions, forcing ones beliefs on others and on politics is wrong and unfair to others, or they try and justify it through biology which they aren't educated on because there are plenty of examples of same sex couples in nature my favorite example being emperor penguins who literally adopt and raise abandoned eggs.

They are humans want to be parents like straight couples who want to adopt so gay couples should be able to adopt.

There is no reason why an LGBT couple should not be able to adopt their lifestyle will not affect the child

gay couples should be able to adopt children because everyone should have the same right to have a child.

the same way that anyone should be able to adopt , gay couples should be able to because they are just like everyone else

Gay couples can be as healthy or as unhealthy as straight relationships, and can handle a child to the same capabilities.

What is so different between a "traditional" nuclear family and a same-gender couple? Both are capable of

The people who say this tend to be of the belief that being gay is an inherently sexual feeling, and that the existence of gay folk is detrimental to children. This is entirely untrue. Being gay is not any more sexual than being straight, and I do not believe that gay couples would be any worse at raising children than straight couples.

If your argument is stereotypes such as what is, "natural," look at everywhere in society. Cars are not "natural," businesses are not "natural," almost everything in our modern world is not so to say natural because we want to better our lives and the natural is not perfect, but we want it to be.

Every child deserves a secure roof over their head. This argument completely disregards the homeless child. Denying such a simple thing, you are contributing to the rise in teen homelessness just because the thought of them being raised by parents who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community irritates you.

Gay couples have the same rights as every other US citizen. There is absolutely no reason why any couple that isn't heterosexual should be denied the right to start a family.

They are the same as you and me. They are perfectly capable of raising a mentally and physically healthly child.

same argument. back off government. your sexuality does not impact how good of a parent you are and straight couples can be very abusive.

It is not for the government to decide who is and isn't qualified to adopt based on gender. If two people, who are both willing and prove to be capable, want to adopt a child they should face no restrictions.

Just because they dont identify with their correct gender does not mean that they cant adopt a child

It should be a human right to adopt children. As long as you have financial stability and the right mindset there's no reason you shouldn't be able to. Animals adopt abandoned babies constantly.

I think they should. It's not that big of a deal. It's a free country. They're still human with different opinions in their romantic life.

It should be a human right to adopt children. As long as you have financial stability and the right mindset there's no reason you shouldn't be able to. Animals adopt abandoned babies constantly.

Marriage is between a man and a woman: only men and women should be able to adopt. LGBTQ+ couples wouldn’t be able to provide a good enough life for the child.

But there is proof that Children who are living the same quality of lives as children in hetero sexual home's, there is no difference whatsoever between a heterosexuals' couples and homosexual couples.

We have a foster care system that has reached critical levels of children without permanent homes. Allowing gay couples to be

There is currently no reputable statistical measure that suggests LGBT or non-heterosexual adoptive parents are inferior to heterosexual parents (per 2004 American Psychological Association findings), and there are still plenty of children that would benefit from an adoptive home instead of foster systems or orphanages.

There shouldn't be a requirement based on the biological sex of the parents to raise a child as long as the parents are responsible and dependable people.

People should not be penalized for who they are. It would be like banning racially mixed couples from adopting children.

The relationship between gay couples and children will likely feel unnatural to both the couple and the children

The people that take this stance also take a pro-life stance which doe not make any sense whatsoever.

It is simply not fair. Any parent wishing to adopt should undergo a background check to see if theyre qualified.

Just because a gay couple wanna adopt a baby doesn't mean they can't i feel like if a straight couple can adopt a baby then everybody else can
