Very strongly agree

No, and I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child

Goldwater, as a conservative Republican, likely held traditional views on family structure. In the 1960s, the widely accepted view was that a mother and father family structure was best for the child. Therefore, it is likely that Goldwater would strongly agree with this statement.

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

Although this answer includes a condition that all couples pass the same background checks, it still implies equal rights for gay couples in adoption. Given Goldwater's conservative stance and the societal norms of the 1960s, it is likely that he would not have supported this view.
