Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

I think this is too new of an issue, and the children who have been adopted by gay couples haven't reached adult age to be able to voice their own opinion as to how they felt about their childhood. 2 years ago from a Republican in McDonough, GA

What in the name. That's like telling a five year old to never go back to their mother, if they don't understand why you guys are both men or women and don't understand the production of human. Explain to them at least, if you don't... 2 years ago from a Democrat in Deltona, FL

Psychometric Assessments to gay couples to ensure they have the right balance of male-female thinking in the family-compartmentalization and interconnectivity. 2 years ago from a Democrat in Apra Harbor, GU

Yes as long as the child is home schooled, because the child will be bullied a lot so if they are home schooled they won't have to deal with kids bullying them. 2 years ago from a Green in Chicago, IL

I believe gays are people and God says to love all people. If they are able to care for the child in a better manner than the child's biological parents, then I say it would be good for the child to have someone who will love them. 2 years ago from a Republican in Camp Wood, TX

No, adoption is not a right; it is a privilege. 2 years ago from a Republican in Granite City, IL

A study is needed. To see the effects of individual environment, social class, financial standing...etc.
You know, the kind of "study" that is done by dumbocrats, to later implement " regulations" (control). 2 years ago from a Republican in Norwich, CT

My main concern is that adoption agencies shouldn't be made to work with gay couples in adoptions if it is against their religious beliefs. 2 years ago from a Republican in Waynesboro, VA

I think kids are best with two loving, healthy, stable parents, and in an ideal world, those parenst would be one male and one female. That said, I am sure that there are many gay parents who are "better" than many "straight" ones. 2 years ago from a Republican in Malvern, PA

The whole system needs revamped to match children according to their needs. People with disabilities are actively discouraged and stopped from pursuing adoptions without knowledge of their abilities. The system is a mess. 2 years ago from a Republican in Neosho, MO

I don't think the government should rule over this. It should be decided on a case by case basis, and some mandatory counseling and gender focused education be given to these couples so they understand and accept the fact that gender plays a... 2 years ago from a Republican in Rockford, IL

Yes - and they should be actively recruited and vetted to adopt children who are in "the system". Many gay couples have gone through social trauma and are adept at helping children deal with social stigma and provide contexts of family that... 2 years ago from a Green in Arlington, TX

Yes, but the same-sex foster parents should be prosecuted for child abuse if they are forcing their homosexual views on to said child.

No, unless there is no otherwise qualified couple in line. 2 years ago from a Republican in Rowland Heights, CA

No, this is similar to a single parenting, not an ideal family environment, but doable. The loss of a gender is not something to be overlooked, and children who grow up without a father or mother will always want to know about them. Purposely removing a... 2 years ago from a Republican in Austin, TX
