Homosexual Adoption

It’s been argued that homosexuals should not be adopting children. Many people believe that children should only be adopted into heterosexual families. This idea is argued upon a few reasons.

Many people believe that if a child is brought up into a homosexual household then they are significantly more likely to be gay themselves. I find this to be completely false. Like anything relating to being gay, you can’t choose it. That means whether the parents are straight or gay, the children that are meant to be gay will be. They don’t choose it because they see how their parents are. If that was the case there would’ve never been any homosexual on earth because the parents were always heterosexual. This idea is so stupid. There is also apparently ‘research’ to prove that idea. The ‘research’ fails to come to actual evidence of the claim.

Another idea is that it is an unnatural upbringing to be brought up by homosexual parents. The support to that is proposing the idea that nature and animals show only a mother and father. But we are humans therefore we have larger brains. We are more sophisticated and intelligent than animals. This means that we can open our mind to seeing that having homosexual parents is okay.

Those against homosexual adoption also claim that that a girl brought up by two men will fail to be feminine and a boy brought up by two men will fail to be masculine. I believe this statement is also wrong. Generally in most homosexual relationships there is a ‘girl’ and a ‘guy’. With men, one or the other is likely to be more feminine and with women, one or the other is likely to be more masculine. This shows that even though both parents are of the same gender, they can teach their kids as if they are any other straight parent. Plus, there is usually at least one close male (or female) of the lesbian (or gay) couple’s family. They can take advice or have that person come and help out every now and then.

I believe that a child raised by homosexual parents is just as okay as being raised by heterosexual parents. Gays are some of the most loving people to come across and would do a much better job than the heterosexual parents that are horrible parents.

After all, a child in adoption home just wants to come home to a loving family. That’s exactly what they would receive if a homosexual couple wanted to adopt that child.
