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

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.

I believe a family structure with a mother and a father is the best for a child but I also think as long as a child is in a good loving home gay couples should be able to adopt.

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.

I don't see why not as long as your able to take care of a child then who cares of what gender you like decides on that.

If they allow their child to make their own choices of how they want to be in terms of being gay or not.

Yes, as long as they're trustworthy and not abusive.

Yes, though I believe a mother and father are superior.

Yes but I believe a mother and father family structure is better for a child

No, studies have shown the superiority of the nuclear family, though, if certain measures were taken such as some sort of female/male nurturer then absolutely.

Yes, but a Mother-Father figure is the best for the child's development

gay, lesbian, and infertile couples should have priority as they cannot produce their own children

Gay couples should have priority over straight couples in adoption

neither should be able to

If they can back flip yes

It should be based on the viability of the parents

If no straight couple is wanting to adopt

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.

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

only if God says so

Yes and adoption should be incentivized over having your own kids

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

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!

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.

I don’t agree with it, however if the parents are in a stable loving relationship, I don’t think that freedom should be taken away either.

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

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

allow the child to pick what they'd prefer.

I don't think there should be gay couples but I think they have the right as straight people.

Maybe. It's not my decision.

no forced choices of preferance

have first picks

No. If their gender are the same, then it means it will be more harder to become like normal couples.

yeS YES YES YES YES

Yes, because I want as many children as possible out of the foster system. Gay parents are better than the system.

Yes, Same sex couples should receive adoption priority in order to enable more people to have families

Yes, but only if they are the only option for the child to be adopted.

Adoption should be determined by the adootion agency. Take the government out of the equation.

Yes, and they should have the exact same process to undergo as a straight couple

I think children that are adopted should also have the right to choose.

I don't support gay marriage in the first place, and in my opinion, there shouldn't BE a gay couple to adopt said child.

More research needs to be conducted on the effectiveness of same sex parents in comparison to traditional family structures.

I believe that the mother and father things is good for the child but it is the couple's decision

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

Yes, as long as the child agrees to be adopted

A kid should not be implemented by ideas that are not their own just because their parents are gay or lesbian

As long as they are protecting the child’s innocence and not talk about it until at least high school. I’m perfectly fine. It’s just too much of a subject to teach young children.

Adoption is morally wrong.

Let the kid they adopting decide

The kid should choose if he wants a gay couple as parents.

Yes, as long as they don't brings the same sexual orientation or they don't do any impact to the children's future.

Gay couples should have the same chance to adopt a child. They need to go through the same process as straight couples to apply for adoption.

we shouldn't have those couples

Gay is just messed up I as a christian do not belive in such things this rediculous.

Males shouldn’t raise females

Yes but I do believe that if children want parents of the opposite gender then there’s an exception.

If it’s a safe home an people

Raising a child is hard enough without putting the child through so much adversity, some gay couples may manage very well, others will fail like traditional couples. To be fair to the child there would need to be a large amount of ongoing support offered until the child is ready to leave home. This would be expensive but might be a worthwhile investment as many gay couples are kind and loving.

As long as they allow the adopted child to choose to their sexual preference and treat the child with care

Spooder man

If they can do a back flip
