same-sex adoptions: My views simplified.

I don't see what the big hairy deal is with gay adoptions. If they can provide a good home, and a loving home, what is the problem? There is only one real reasons that is presented.
A child needs a mom and a dad to grow up "normally". I have to ask, then, what about those of us that are raised by a single parent? We don't have both parents who raise us, so does that mean that they shouldn't be able to care for us? And why exactly do children need a mom and a dad?
I suppose that there is a fear that little girls in a home with two dads will not have a mother to talk to about girly thing, and a boy in a home with two mothers will have the same problem. If you've only grown up in a same-sex house hold, then you do not have a problem talking to either of them.
There are so many kids being shuffled around in the foster care system, because of less responsible adults. Don't we owe it to them to have a place to call home? If they are living with responsible, caring individuals, what should it matter if they are the same sex? I have always wanted to have children, but not my own (because i could not handle the pregnancy, and taking care of a newborn). I am a person who is willing to adopt and foster older children, so that there not in the system f
Just because I am in love with another girl, I could possibly be barred from having children in my care. This is unfair and I feel it is discrimination against same-sex couples. What proof is there that we are less effective parents that a traditional couple?
I would just like to say that people are being ridiculous about this whole situation. We need to learn that the traditional way of thinking is not always the right, just, and only way of thinking.

Oh, whatever. I do not see what the heck the big hoo ha is. If it os okay for Clay Akion to insiminate some chikc who he is not married too. Then why can gay couples adopt? Children are boren into gay families all the time and they turn out awesome. As a matter of fact, my husband was raised by his gay uncle and he is just fine. He is not gay. It is not like it is contagious or anything. In my opinion. Gay couples are more commited to each other than stright couples.

It always bothered me when people come off as believing it's better for children to grow up without a home than it is for those same kids to grow up in a loving home where the adopting couple happen to be gay.

I agree completely with everything in your post. While I may not be able to identify with your situation, I sincerely hope one day the laws and people in general will be less predjudicial. A person's sexual orientation should never prevent them from caring for a child and providing a loving home.
