Arguments Against Homosexual Adoption

Superior Essays
“Adoption is about finding families for children, not finding children for families “says Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao. They 're many orphans in the world, but there are just not enough families or parents to take them in. There aren’t that many families who can and will adopt children, whether it’s; they can’t support them or they just don’t want to deal with children. People are fear of change, and change is not always bad as people think it could be. For example, some would say that it could cause psychological problems that it isn’t natural; it is supposed to be a woman and a man they say that homosexuals wouldn’t be good parents. It is not just because of that, also; of religious reason people are against of homosexuals adopting children. Everyone should have the privilege to adopt a kid regardless of their sexual orientation if they are ready to have a family and take care. The most argument saying people would say “you wouldn’t want your kid to be bullied because their parents are homosexual and that they are going to turn just like them.” As a result, many kids get bullied not just because of that, of course, nobody want to have their kids to be bullied. That’s why when noticing that your child is being bullied, try talking to them or take them to a therapist. It’s good to always ask them how their day was because yeah, nobody wants their kids to be bullied and not doing anything about it, but that always happens to everyone not just because having parents that are homosexual couples. “Several organization-- the National Adoption Center, the American Medical Association, American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, that having gay and lesbian parents does not negatively affect children.” Sexual orientation, parents are likely to provide supportive, healthy homes as any heterosexual parents. They argue about homosexual couples adopting they think the child “is denied either a father or a mother." However, people are forgetting that homosexuals are the same they have families which include their parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and many others that the children can be influence they will have other people in their lives and help them. There is just no specific reason that homosexual couple shouldn’t be allowed raising a kid and starting a family is something that people look forward to in life. Nobody has the right to take someone else privilege away. That is not okay; everyone has the same equal rights. I hear arguments about that if homosexual parents raise kids; their kids would end up gay. The argument just doesn’t even make sense. A lot of times homosexual were raised by heterosexual parents so why would a homosexual raising a kid be any different? This proves that it doesn 't matter what sexual preference a parent has it matter on how good they raise their kid and prepare them for the real world. No one has found that there’s any kind of significant psychological harm incurred by kids who grow up with lesbian or gay parents. There are logical reasons to allow homosexuals to adopt, but for some reason are not enough. Some people are just so close minded is like they don 't even know that thousands of children are in …show more content…
Having parents with the same gender doesn 't change who they would be. It would actually teach them something about it like an open mind about who they are, and respect others for who they 're. It doesn’t matter about the parent if having a homosexual parent and a heterosexual parent.
They are just the same they also deserve children if they want to adopt a kid. It’s really sad when some ignorant talks about someone being attached to someone with the same gender; “they could hurt the kid” just because they are not the same as them, and that they will confuse the kid. Everyone is the same we are all human we have the same equal right. They should let them adopt regardless of their sexual orientation. I doubt that they would want to adopt a kid when they don’t even know the responsibility in taking care of a

    A man who is single has the right to adopt and the same goes for a single woman. If a married heterosexual couple wanted to adopt, they are more than welcomed to, as long as they are competent of caring for a child. A heterosexual couple is capable of being able to pretty much travel anywhere in the United States to find an adoption agency willing to help them. Sadly, that’s not the case for a couple who are of the same-sex. Due to religious beliefs of certain adopting agencies, a state law not allowing placement with LGBT parents, or a policy of placing children with married couples only, one-third of agencies in the United States can reject a gay or lesbian applicant.…

    Adoption implies an opportunity to be desired, adored, and appreciated despite the flaws you have, removing the misery of living alone and placing the blissful feelings of being surrounded by a family. Annually, thousands of children enter the foster care system and wait with anticipation for their chance of having a family again.

    Maybe even why shouldn’t they adopt, is it because the way people might think a child will feel or about it or is it just society judging another way that people are living their lives? The answer on my opinion is that they should be able to adopt. The way that I think about it look at how many children are getting taken out of the system, look at how many children are going to have families and really look at how many lives lesbians and gays are saving just by the fact that they actually want to have kids. So bottomline of the matter is that they can’t accidentally have child, this child is planned and wanted. I don 't believe if children are raised correctly, then he/she will come out any less fine than any other child raised in America, regardless of their parents sexual orientation.…

    Considering the facts that support there are no differences between children with same-sex parents and children with opposite-sex parents, the controversy behind gay adoption should not exist. Considering that the evidence is so overwhelming that The American Psychological Association passed a resolution stating that it, “opposes any discrimination based on sexual orientation in matters of adoption, (including child custody and visitation, foster care, and reproductive health services) and supports the protection of parent-child relationships through the legalization of joint adoptions and second parent adoptions of children of same-sex couples” (Burkholder). There are so many children in the world who need homes, so if a loving couples want to adopt being gay or straight should be…

    While the cost to adopt a child is also high, it is often less of a financial burden because the LGBT couple will not have to pay for the hospital bills seeing as the child has already been born in some adoption cases. When it comes to fostering children, the process to obtain a license to foster is often times overwhelming and cumbersome, making it more likely that a family will choose to adopt as opposed to foster a…

    In my opinion, any type of adoption for a child is a good one. Homosexuals are human after all, they do have the capability to love a nurture a child. The argument that other sexual acts could be considered immoral does not hold true in my opinion. Many couples use contraceptives in their lives because it is there choosing to do so.
