While I believe that a straight, mother & father, living together as man and wife in the same house is the best possible way for a child to be raised I also believe that 2 loving people who truly want to be parents is far and away better than a child living in a facility or being moved from foster home to foster home until he/she is just too old to be in the system anymore. Children just want to be wanted and loved. Following the same criteria as a straight couple would go through, of course, no special treatment for fear of descremination, or being p.c. they have to meet the same requirements. I'll probably get a lot of scripture thrown at me about gay lifestyle and homosexuality but it's really never bothered me. I've never understood why what 2 people do in the privacy of their bedrooms matters to others. If 2 people are committed to each other enough to want to adopt I say good for them. Yes there will be concerns and difficulties that other adopted children wouldn't have to deal with and it all needs to be handled very carefully. But isn't the important thing the fact that a child will have a home and a family, be wanted and loved and cared for?
