    Gay Adoption?

    I was reading through some articles about Gay Adoption, and found out the John McCain doesn't support it. I am not bashing him, but I do not think it's fair to people who are gay or to the children who desperatly need a home and a family. He mentioned he supports 2 parent households. A gay couple counts as a 2 parent household. I know it's messed up but what are your views? Remember this is not a bashing thread.
    There is no such thing as failure, just learning experiences.

    Oh I say go with the flow & accept the signs of the times.. Yes I see your point & as long as the couple in general & or single parent is a Loving one then thats what counts.. Now the bible does not except Gays.. But I have watch on the Health Channel on Gay Adoptions && they are as Loving & willing to give a child a great home..

    Just like everything else, I think it should be decided on a case-by-case basis and not a hard and fast rule. I agree with McCain on some things, but not this one. My brother is a single, gay male. He would make an excellent parent.

    My stepson and his partner have been together many years. They have never formally adopted, but have been excellent parents to a young man whose family kicked him out of the house when he came out.

    Race, sex and/or sexual preference should not be the determining factor on who can adopt -- or who you vote for for president.

    My aunt works at an orphanage, and she sees many gay parents adopt, and they are great parents. I think sexual preference should not come into play while evaluating adoptive parents. I think it's one of those things that he may be against just because he sees it as wrong, even though he can't give any real reasons to why it is wrong.

    Well you remember what happened to Dick Chaney.. He mouthed off about Gays && then had to eat some crow when his daughter said she was gay.. They can be just as Loving as the next person.. What goes on behind closed doors &or open doors should not effect us as a public view.. Can Not Ever Judge A Book By Its Cover..
