Well, to grow up with heterosexual parents is the natural way for a child. As we all know, two people of the same sex cannot procreate human life in a natural way. I also said that the child has no choice if it wants to be adopted by gay parents or not. It would be decided over it's head. But growing up with a Mom and a Dad won't do the child any harm. It's the natural way and it's ment like that, so I'm on the save side on that. And where the heck did I say that gay parents can't love a child like "normal" parents? Of course the kid wouldn't encounter social problems if it lives in a perfect world, but this world unfortunately does not exist.
IMO this is a serious decision letting gay parents adopt a child. You show how open minded you are by fighting for gay rights, but you seem to don't mind the child's life and the influence on it's development.

I also care for the children, it might not always be a god idea to assign a child to a gay couple, but this aplies to hetro's aswell. I want the gay couples to be happy and give them the right to adopt a child but i also want to make sure that the child growsup in safe enviroment, i do think however that these 2 things can be achieved at the same time.

ow and about the perfect world thing: most of us (dutch) respect gays, there are a couple of fools too that say that gays are sick etc. but a huge majority respects gays. If gays are accepted then children with gay parents will often be accepted too (well some kids might make fun of the kid, but kids like to make fun of eachother, they will make fun for of "strange looking/acting/... parents too).
