People have accidental births, abortion complications, and other social situations that cause children to be left for adoption. LGBT+ people are willing and wanting to adopt a child in need into a caring family.

People that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community can be just as good of parents as straight people. In fact, there are probably many LGBTQ+ couples that are BETTER parents than straight couples. Sexuality does not determine your ability to parent.

If the couple loves each other and can raise a child to be a good person, provide for them and be a good parent, their sexuality shouldn't matter.

People in the LGBT community are HUMANS, just the same as anyone else, we are all genetically humans so there is no reason to take away rights over preferences. doing so could influence segregation in the future and possibly start public riots or against the goverment

Too much money is spent to put children into the taxpayer-funded system. Not only would it be fiscally responsible to find loving families for these children, but morally responsible as well.

Allowing LGBT individuals to adopt is not only a matter of equality but also significantly benefits children and society. Studies show that children raised by same-sex parents thrive just as well as those with heterosexual parents, benefiting from stable, loving homes. Same-sex couples are seven times more likely to adopt children than opposite-sex couples, and they often adopt children who are harder to place, such as older children, children with special needs, and minority children. This willingness helps reduce the number of children in foster care and provides them with loving, stable homes.

Any straight couple could potentially harm or not be a good fit for a child, but we go through the necessary precautions to make sure the household is safe and the environment is good for a child to live in. What is the difference with a gay couple? They can provide the same values and rules to raise a happy, smart, and healthy child, and would teach them that all families are different,

I have a sister who is in an LGBT relationship with a new baby and they love that child just as much as any straight couple I have seen. The child will grow up in an extremely loving and happy home despite certain societal oppositions, if love exists in a home that place should be able to raise a family.

"In Canada, there are more than 30,000 children waiting to be adopted
Only ~2,000 children are adopted each year (https://cafdn.org/)"
Does anybody think foster care is seriously better than being adopted into a well vetted, loving family?

89.0% of child victims are maltreated by one or both parents. I think they should be put in any loving home regardless of the adults sexuality

Was your parents sex life a big part of your childhood? Something that came up regularly in conversation? I think kids just want to feel loved and cared for.

LGBT couples who adopt children won't affect the way that child grows up. Yes a father or mother will be missing from the picture but there will be people who act like a mother or father figure.

This is an inefficient way of thinking in that a child will not know what kind of life they are missing at a young and age and is not thinking of population growth with the growing rate of homosexual couples.

They should be allowed to adopt as long their beliefs wouldn't be extremely different than the majority of the population.

"The polls had also revealed that 70% of Canada's population had agreed that "same-sex couples should have the same rights to adopt children as heterosexual couples do," and that 76% had also agreed that "same-sex couples are just as likely as other parents to successfully raise children"."

I firmly believe that advocating for LGBT adoption rights is grounded in the principles of equity, impartiality, and the paramount interests of children who require nurturing and secure homes. As reported by CYC-online (n.d), Canada is home to approximately 20,000 children who are legal wards of the state, yet only 1,200 of them find adoptive families each year. Given these statistics and the inherent intricacies and inflexibility of the adoption process, particularly concerning same-sex couples, it is crucial to consider the positive impact of granting LGBTQ+ individuals and couples the oppo…  Read morertunity to adopt.

In 2013, 13% of same sex couples had adopted a child, as opposed to the 3% of opposite sex couples. This goes to show that by eliminating same sex couples to adopt, you are allowing more children to be in foster care rather than a loving family.

There is no evidence to say that children of LGBT families are impacted negatively at all by the orientation of their parents.

Allowing gay couples to adopt children will lower the stigma towards the LBGTQ community, and teach the future generation that no matter your sexuality, you have the right to a family.

This is important because gay couples can't control who they love or their dreams of wanting to start a family, continue their bloodline, or just have a child.

If someone has transitioned to the "other side" they have traded away their true person, meaning they should have no right to anything. They should be forced to an anti-LGBT camp to be cleansed of their wicked ways. Then after 5+ years of cleansing, they would regain their previous rights and then, and only then, regain the right to adopt someone.

Several studies have shown that the sexual orientation of parents doesn't affect the well being of their children. Research published by the American Psychological Association has found no important outcomes for children raised by same sex parents compared to those who are opposite sex couples raising children. Also, not allowing LGBT people the right to adopt a child is considered discrimination.

Out of nearly 30,000 children eligible for adoption, only around 2,000 of those children are adopted each year. Why would we risk lowering that number? Gay couples aren't any more likely than straight couples to be dangerouse.

Yes if trans people can't have kids and if they want a kid to rise they can't make one they need to adopt them, and they should be able to no matter what and other people not apart LGBTQ cant have kids because of problems so what makes it different if the people are LGBTQ.

they can adopt because they are helping and taking care of a child and helping them grow and be a good person.

They are adults and the child might miss out on a father role/mother role or a "normal" life, but better than being parentless and in an orphanage with no hope to being in a family and being surrounded by love.

The right to adoption should be based on your ability to properly raise a child and to bring a functioning, capable grown up into our world. Not a couple's sex, or sexual orientation.

The way the child is raised might even be raised safer because the parents both understand each other.
