Civil Partnership Bill (1 Viewer)

[shower another shower]

Nothing against the civil partnership call me prude but I have an issue with two gay guys adopting a child. I say that as a mother of 2 kids.

I know i am gonna get a lot of abuze 4 dis...

Umbrella at the ready

what about two gay birds?

Did you adopt your kids? If not then the fact that you've got some has nothing to do with the validity or otherwise of your opinion, it's about as relevent to the debate as the fact that I keep chickens.

"As a mother" That reminds me of something... a Dara O'Brian sketch I think.

I have an issue with your issue. I say that as a brother of 4 kids

With regard to the same sex/opposite sex adoption issue... well, I think there should be no discrimination with regard to who can adopt a child, at least not until there is some kind of control put on who can biologically produce children. Adoptive parents are not the problem, it's the unsuitable breeders that need to be dealt with.

All parents, whether biological or adoptive should have a responsibility to ensure that they properly care for children in their care, and ensure that those children are treated with respect and learn to respect others.

2012 news: all irish people are neutered and purchase babies from the beautiful people sperm bank

 

[Squiggle]

I edited it to explain. I mean people who are either incapable of, or uninterested in, taking care of their offspring.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I edited to make mine even more ridiculous

As it pertains to Irish born adoptions the biological mother in some, or at least mine in my sister's case, choses who gets the kid (okay that's not been the case with the Catholic Church, but they're not giving any kids to gay couples even if they have the option to do so), if the woman choses to give her kid to a gay couple to raise what business is it of anyone else?

Anyway, I'm not really mad on the idea of framing adoption as a gay or straight issue, it's a children issue as they're the most important thing to consider when it comes to adoption.

Haha, not quite what I was getting at. Just annoys me that people get up in arms at the idea of a single person, or, heaven forbid, "the gays" having the option to adopt a child and create a family, while they merrily turn a blind eye to generations of teenage single mothers who aren't even capable of taking care of themselves. No need for proper education, sex or otherwise, but people without functioning ovaries, or a sperm donor, shouldn't be allowed to create a loving home for a child.

What issue do you have?

 

[Lili Marlene]

You know, I don't think blairwitch is going to put up a good defense, janer-style

 

[blairwitch]

What issue do you have?

I think it's a bit much, I know it must be an inherent prejudice that i guess I have to deal with. Maternal influence and all that...

 

[washingcattle]

So is it okay for two lesbians to have a child ?

 

[Lili Marlene]

A bit much what?

What about single fathers or mothers? Or those who've had a parent die? Either way, if the kid is loved they're not any less off than those with 2 parents no matter the gender. In fairness, those who want to adopt are usually those who can't have kids of their own, which means they actually WANT kids. Chances are those adopted would have the same level of (if not more) happiness and love than those of 'normal' families. imho, of course.

Oh and "it's a bit much" is not an explanation. It's barely even a sentence.

I'm one of those old fashioned gals who thinks that a child brought up by a mother and father is natural and normal. Is that a better explanation?
