Should LGBT adoption be allowed?

Postby San Lumen » Tue Jan 12, 2016 3:44 pm

In June of 2015 in the US with the Supreme Court Decision legalizing same sex marriage it also became legal for LGBT people to adopt children in every state except Mississippi(which insists their ban remains in effect). Studies have consistently shown there is no detrimental effect to the child and some have even suggested their might be a slight benefit.

These children are getting loving homes they might not have otherwise and turn out just fine.LGBT people can technically have their own biological children via artificial insemination through a surrogate mother. I have absolutely no problem with LGBT adoption and don't see any arguments against it. What do you all think?

Of course it should. There's no proof that LGBT adoptive parents will "poison the mind" of their children or whatever.

Absolutely. There is absolutely no reason for it not to be allowed.

Exactly, it would probably even make their children more tolerant of people of different sexualities and genders.

It depends on if they're actively trying to push the mindset on the child (I.E actually poisoning their mind). There are people who do that, which are extremely rare. But no, I don't think we should discriminate an entire group like that over something like this.

I highly doubt LGBT parents would force the mindset on the child. Its not a choice.

Yes. Children want a loving home, and if that is possible for them with two moms or two dads or transgender parents, I say go ahead. This is not about sexual orientation or gender, this is about finding loving homes for children in foster care.

You can't say a single statement like that about a whole group. Yes, there are a few people who have tries to convince their child they are transgender, and given time I could supply you with evidence. But of course, this goes both ways, which is why I think they should be allowed to adopt.

Exactly. Children in foster care deserve to have loving homes and if its with two moms or two dads what does it matter? Why shouldn't a gay couple get to be parents too if they choose too?

Because some think the traditional family structure is the only one that works. I don't think so. Family is how and who you make it with. When you have a child in foster care, whether it's with two moms or two dads, all they want is a home.

Exactly. I agree with you completely. I know of people who were raised by same sex parents and they turned out just fine.

I often doubt that the gender and sexual orientation of the parents have much of an impact on how the children will turn out. I've met plenty of people who were raised in ''traditional'' family units who have so many issues...
