For or Against Gay Adoption

against - The child will become a homosexual.

for - Studies have proven that this statement is false. Many children from heterosexual families have also been known to become homosexuals.

against - As a (teen daughter) she would want to talk with mom about teenage issues such as dating, relationships, when to become sexually active vs. postponing it, birth control, etc., and a (teen son) would want to talk with dad.

for - Children can find positive mother/father figures within you’re family members or friends

against - Children should have a mother and a father as role models.

for - It is not just the parents who influence a child’s behavior. Society also plays a role in their upbringing.

against - In an area that does not readily accept gays and lesbians, the child might be socially stigmatized or get picked on

for - Children get picked on at some point in time, and it is usually about something else (something physical) like being chubby or looking different.

against - If the adoptive parents were men, parents of the child's potential friends might subscribe to the common but erroneous belief that gays are likely child molesters, and forbid their child to associate with the adopted child.

for - It has been proven that more heterosexuals molest their children.

against - It's not natural for gays to adopt.

for - In which case, single people and couple's who can't conceive through sex shouldn't adopt or have a surrogate-it's not natural.

against - homosexual relationships don't last very long.

for - Neither do nearly half of straight marriages.

against - In some areas, both members of a gay couple adopt the child and are considered legal parents, but in others, only one person can adopt the child (because a child is legally considered to be capable of having only one father or one mother). If the adoptive parent dies, the child is an orphan and may be removed from the custody of the non-adoptive parent.

for - Wouldn’t the same thing happen if a single parent adopted or both parents in a heterosexual relationship became deceased?
