More dog-wagging rationale.Every single one has exactly one mother and one father who for whatever reason are not able to raise them. This is why a semblance of that circumstance is natural and necessary.Appeal to ignorance logical fallacy. It flies in the face of all of the best science. And children who are available for adoption have neither a mother or a father -and many have been waiting for a very long time.Children need both a mother and a Father, when available. Nothing to do with religion. Just simple fact that women and men are different and children need to learn from both.Some Christians ae making it difficult for gays to adopt kids but MORE IMPORTANTLY they are making it more difficult for kids to be matched with adoptive parents. And when/ where the fuck did I ever say that adoption is the only way for gays to get kids., That is really over the top stupid. Gay people are not sterile. They can conceive children in the same way as many straight people do who may need a little help ,But they should be allowed to adopt for the sake of the kids and because excluding them is discriminatorySo make up your mind. Are Christians making it impossible for gays to adopt? Or as you just claimed do Christians support gay parents adopting children, which is the only way they are going to get kids?
Two parents who love them and who are financially capable of caring for them, is better than most kids get. When my parents adopted me, people said they were too old and it would be better if I were raised by parents more age appropriate. There are no "perfect parents".
My friend was adopted by a "perfect family". Rich, white, business executive, stay at home mother. They owned a family farm but leased out the land and used the house as a vacation home, and mostly lived in a large expensive condo in the city. My friend is a mess. She is one of the most talented artists and designers I've ever met, but her father thought her art school scholarships to study abroad were of no consequence. She designed award winning textiles, wallpapers, and headed up the design department of a large fabric and upholstery manufacturer headquartered in the USA, helping the company to record profits and by setting up a design plan to tap into the latest decorating and colour trends. But despite being well-off and succesful, my friend is haunted by doubts about her value, and fears for her future. She's never been valued by her father and hence, does not value herself, and she's never been able to sustain personal relationships. A professional success, but a personal mess. She would have been better off without her father's toxic input.
