If being a responsible adult is a requirement of a potential parent I think its safe to say many parents would not be fit that requirement. How many women are having "straight sex" with multiple partners and turning their vagina into a clown car with numerous baby daddies that they can't even pinpoint who fathered what. How is this person going to be a better parent then a homosexual couple that's exclusive and can raise their child in a stable environment where you have two loving and constant parents?
It's not like you are inviting the child into the bedroom to watch you have sex so I fail to see why it matters how you have sex as to whether you are a suitable parent. If you can meet all the other requirements of adoption and prove yourself to be a fit parent, your sexual orientation should not even come into play.

Drury the Government does have higher standards for potentual parents of adopted children. As I mentioned before a single adult probably not be considered as an adoptive parent and if they were they would stand far behind a couple seeking a child.
It is fair and proper to look at both a person's medical, financial, and criminal history before considering them for an adoptive parent. The best interest of the child must come first.
I find it funny that there has been so much criticism of the idea that a person's responsibility regarding their own body might be considered when determining how responsible they would be as a parent. Why even assume that would put a homosexual couple at a disadvantage?
