I think if heterosexual parents can end up with gay children, then gay parents can certainly raise heterosexual children. The studies have shown that there is no greater risk of sexual abuse or a tendency to become homosexual if the parents are homosexual. The bit about pedophilia, etc. is crap, IMO. Do you know how many children are sexually abused in a traditional family setting? It's sickening.

I would rather have children adopted into (any) loving home than be pushed around the foster system only to be booted out into the streets at 18.

I'm a Floridian (now) and I think the anti-gay adoption law sucks.

AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!


I lived in a home in which there was extended family and my father was VERY active in my life after he divorced my mother and I still went through some very traumatic things. There are too many children in the foster care system and I am quite sure they really could give a rat's behind if they had 2 mommies or 2 daddies. We need to get off of this Ozzie and Harriet/Huxtable thought process and recognize that family doesn't necessarily mean mom, dad and 2.5 children. That is one ideal but not the only one. The most important things in determining a good family is stability, unconditional love and an unwavering desire to give your child(ren) the best home life possible.
