Adoption
 

Groove wonders what Accywebbers think on the issue of gay couples addopting...Although they would be just as competent as heterosexual couples, is it right to have a child brought up by a gay couple?

Re: Adoption
 

Working in the town centre and seeing the number of unfit hetrosexual parents who leave a lot to be desired I'd say they can't do any worse.

Re: Adoption
 

Regarding heterosexual parents in the town centre, can totally see your point Dave

Re: Adoption
 

nothing at all wrong with gay couples adopting, 2 parents are better than no parents no matter what sex they are

Re: Adoption
 

Groove thinks certain kids with homosexual parents will get some stick off other pupils. We all know how cruel kids can be...Groove thinks this factor has been overlooked by fellow posters.

Re: Adoption
 

my sister in law and sister in law have a daughter they are the same as other parents they're just both women. kids get picked on for all sorts of reasons, are we going to stop kids wearing glasses,having ginger hair,being different to the rest of the herd in case they get bullies?

Re: Adoption
 

Why?

Re: Adoption
 

Groove thinks word on the playground would be 'suchabody does'nt have a real mum n dad, suchabodys mum and dad are lesbos'...not grooves views, merely grooves presumption on this issue.

Re: Adoption
 

Mavis Davis thinks Groove will be left in the orphanage.

As no one will be that desperate for a child.

Re: Adoption
 

What about the kids of heterosexual parents who get teased because their daddy has another girlfriend?

Re: Adoption
 

Do you think children are born thinking these things? children dont care, they are taught that things are 'wrong' and 'different' they dont form those views themselves (usually) there are different variations of normal and it would be a much better world if these variations were accepted instead of attacked.....

Re: Adoption
 

...and all the kid has to do is threaten the bullies that "my dad will get your dad". Some of the todger do.....I mean 'women with same sex partners' that I know would more than hold their own in a fight with a man.

grooves mum is still considering abortion :eek:

Re: Adoption
 

Na I think his mother through the wrong bit away;)

Re: Adoption
 

My concern would be that the child would grow up thinking that being gay is "normal" and are more likely to grow up to become gay themselves. In a similar way to fact that if a child's parents smoke the child is more likely to take up smoking as they see it as the "norm".
