Re: Gay adoption
Wrong. The commonly cited studies that show this contain some serious methodological flaws which greatly detracts from their viability. There are lots of studies that show the benefits of two parent homes and also many studies that show the importance of opposite sex interaction within the family.

Haven't psychologists said that a two parent (of opposite sex) home is the best way to raise a child? It seems like I've read this before. [/ QUOTE ]No they absolutely have not. check out www.apa.org |

Re: Gay adoption
If they're qualified, why not?
There are a large number of children waiting to be adopted. Even if being adopted by a heterosexual couple is better for them than being adopted by a homosexual couple, that's still probably better than not being adopted at all. |

[/ QUOTE ] If so they were obviously heterosexual psychologists. I've had many a friend in my life with a gay parrent (in some cases two!). I even had a friend who's father had a sex change, yet remained married (and in love) with her mother. He is not gay, he just felt more comfortable with breasts and no penis [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Interesting enough his child was one of the kindest people I have ever met. Of my friends who have a gay parent, only one grew up to be gay as well. All are rather well adjusted. Of course my sample size is small. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] |

Re: Gay adoption
If you don't allow it then you cant let any kids get adopted untill they "decide" weather or not they are gay.

Sure. What's wrong with adopting a gay person?
