Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

Must pass rigorous background checks. Must have been co-habitating atleast 10 years. Must be atleast 35 years old. Must have reasonable income. Must open trust account for child for $1M.

Yes, but I think they should have to go through more of a thorough process to see if it is a good idea. I don't think every same-sex couple should be automatically permitted to adopt. Are they in a long-term, very stable and loving relationship? Are they going to provide a balanced view of the sexes - nothing wrong with being gay, but are they going to raise the child in a home that reveres both sexes. Are they adopting the child for the child's sake or for theirs?

Yes. There is no reason to believe that a child is better off with straight couples.

They should have a right but not the same.

Adoption is baby-trafficking. Selling human beings for profit is immoral. Adoption should be replaced with permanent legal guardianship.

So if I believed that I am Elizabeth Is the Queen of England I would be, at best, tagged as irrational and delusional. If I am a man who believes he is a woman, I am not delusioal. I am gay. Reminds me of a story. After God created human beings Satan scoffed and said he could do better. On the day of the demo, Satan scooped up a handful of dirt, at which point God says, "Dude! get your own dirt!"

No, adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples. However not just any straight couple as I'm sure there are better suited gay couples than some straight couples.

Yes, so long as the couples involved are deemed to have a balanced approach to child-rearing and education and are not radical Lesbian (or gay male) separatists who despise the opposite sex. I say this as a gay man myself who is an uncle but has, for the moment, and since I became an adult, no desire to be a father to any children, adopted or biological.

Only if one of the same-sex partners is the parent or legal guardian of the child concerned.

For myself as a gay man, I do not believe in denying the right for other other queer couples to adopt children, however I would have a difficult time in accepting this reality for myself, believing that a traditional family structure is much better suited to be raising children.

It really depends if they are able to fully parent a child and do both jobs the mothers and the fathers job then yes but if they’re just babying the kid the next generations of men will be week because they wont have actual men ready to dicplin their children correctly

ehh if i was being adopted i'd want a mother and father, but if they are both loving and in a stable relationship i suppose there's no problem.

yes but the child should be checked in on as they should have both a female and male figure they can look up to

Pass, the same background checks as straight parents, and it should be the child's choice by the age of 5 whether or not they want those people to be their parents. (Without persuasion, a child's intuition shouldn't fail).

I'm in general disagreement with promoting gay family child rearing. I think children need both a mother and father. Sadly, many fathers are absent and many mothers choose bad mates. Is an adopted or IVF child better off in a calm, loving gay household than an abusive, violent hetero household? Most likely, yes. But I would hope the gay household tries to get an adult of the opposite gender involved in the child's life. Some gay households, especially lesbian households have a real hatred of men and they should NOT have children until they address their baggage.

Only if they've proven to be capable parents who can provide for the child in all aspects of life. Such as education, financial, medical, care, etc.

Individual opinion

no it is gay and im straight ash

It shouldnt be a thing!!!! GAY MARRIAGE SHOULDNT BE LEGAL

only if God says so

Yes, as long as they are able to adopt.

Children should be engineered through cloning.

Yes and adoption should be incentivized over having your own kids

Yes, as long as the child has influence from someone of the opposite sex, such as a male or female grandparent, aunt/ uncle or nanny.

Yes because they should have the right to adopt any child if they are gay

Yes, and straight people who can have their own children should not be allowed to adopt

No, that's child abuse

Also no idea

I say yes, however we need to review and adjust the regulations as necessary as I sure all aspects are not universal and should never place a child at risk - which itself may need to be redefined.

This is tough. I feel a child needs a male and female I think to grow emotionally more equally from views from both sides. But that doesn't mean a guy couple can't give a child a great life and upbringing

again i do not care leave me out of it

Yes as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples - and also go through extra assessments to make sure the child would have proper balance at home

I think every child deserves a loving and nurturing home. But only after strict background checks!

I believe that a son should at least have a father or a daughter should at least have a mother, whether it's 1 or 2. It's not a matter of having homosexual or heterosexual parents, it's a matter of the child having someone they can relate to.

Yes, gay couples and infertile couples should be prioritized by adoption agencies

As long as they caring and loving parents who cares. I don’t agree with it same sex marriage based on my upbringing but bible is clear on this stuff. Stay out of it and let God judge them in the end. As long as no one is hurting or harming kids

As long as a couple passes all required checks straight or gay, then couples should be allowed to adopt. A child needs to be cared for, nurtured and loved. One's sexual preference has no bearing.

Yes, but only if they are held to same scrutiny as a straight couple

Adoption is trauma

Yes, if there is shown to be a solid extended family with good opposite sex active role models.

Abortion is murder of children. This is immoral.

They should be allowed, however, mother and father is the proper household dynamic.

If it is developmentally healthy for the child, it is ok with me on a physical world view

the couple can adopt but a religious adoption group can refuse to cooperate

I prefer not to answer.

Gay couples should have the right to adopt children but straight couples who can not have children should be prioritized by adoption agencies.

Yes, but straight couples should be first in line to adopt

Yes but I believe the mother and father structure is best for the child

Yes, but they should only be able to adopt children of the same sex as them. So that they will be able to guide the child through the changes of puberty.
