Wow, awesome. You're for the government taking the child away from (in this scenerio) a perfectly capable mother because she chooses to sleep with a women instead of a man. You'd rather this child have a chance to grow up in a broken system, and be forgotten about.
You wouldn't want to be adopted by a gay family
now since you've already been raised to dislike homosexuality. Being raised with it from birth is completely different.
I don't want to be raised by a French couple, because I don't speak French. Children born of English parents shouldn't be adopted by French people because they won't have a choice and won't ever be able to understand their parents.
Some of you are acting like those of us that are pro-adoption for gay couples are saying that any gay couple (which of course is an STI-ridden sex-monger, hungry for weekend orgies) should have the right to scoop any child up they see and raise them to eat the flesh of humans and cast spells on those opposed to their way of life. Any couple looking to adopt a child should go through the same extensive background checks as anyone else. The only difference is sexual orientation should not be relevent. Because it's not. The standard of parenting is based on who you are as a person, not who you sleep with.
I'm sure you can be an intelligent person. I don't know you well enough to make that judgement, but I really hope we have less "
children who may very well grow up to be just like me." because if we don't, human rights will never take such an important and harmless step forward.
