Same Sex Adoption

This topic is very controversial. I think it's ridiculous to ban same sex adoption! And at this point only four states allow it- Vermont, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and California. States that have outlawed this type of adoption claim that children can't grow up normally unless they have a mom and a dad. Florida banned gay adoption based on a claim that "gays and lesbians are child molesters". This law was passed in 1977 and has been fought many times since; however, it remains the same. How can the government generalize like that?? Heterosexuals can be child molesters too, but that is why a person can't adopt a child without being "investigated". Why shouldn't a loving couple be allowed to adopt a child in dire need of a home? It is really not fair to kids living in and out of foster homes. Children will love their parents if they receive the love that many homosexual couples are wanting to give away. You don't neccessarily have to agree with homosexual marriages, but just like embryo adoption, this is a great way to find homes for children. In the end, it really should just be about saving children-put aside your predjudices and think about the kids!
I think that God would rather have children growing up with loving parents and families than have children growing up in homes infested with drug and alcohol problems, or foster homes.

  1. This debate to me seems to come down to same sex marriage. If people believe same sex marriage is legitimate, then they also are inclined to believe the couple can raise children.
