You didn't even read the her postChild abuse is what happens when the kids biological(straight) parents abandon their kids.
100,000 children a year eligible and waiting for adoption- virtually all abandoned by their biological parents- you know-the people you believe that should have kids rather than gays.
33,000 of those kids wait 5 years or more to be adopted.
23,000 foster kids age out of the system each year with no family to provide financial or emotional support.
Tell us why you would prefer that kids be kicked out on the street when they age out of the system- rather than have gay parents who want to be their forever parents?
Why is adoption so hard in this country that couples adopt Russian or Chinese children? Why are qualified heterosexual couples denied American adoptions so gays can adopt? Why isn't it easier to remove parental rights of drug addicts or prisoners so children will be released for adoption?
Well I figure you really won't accept the answers- but hell I will waste my time answering you anyways.
The reason why Americans adopt Russian and Chinese babies is because
a) they want babies- not older children and
b) because there is no 'return policy' for foreign babies- the mother can't change her mind and claim the baby back in a month- something which does happen in the United States. I know families who have adopted both ways.
Are any 'qualified heterosexual couples denied American adoptions so gays can adopt? Show me some. Please go for it.
As far as why isn't it easier to strip kids of their loser parents? Generally our society defers to the biological parents- almost exclusively heterosexual- over other willing but non-biological parents.
Then you understand that biological parents have NOT abandoned their children. They are not in a position to care for their children. They usually try to get them back.
Gays are perverts who live a perverted lifestyle. They should never be allowed adoption or custody of their own children. There's no argument about that. A child given to the care of perverts grow up perverted themselves. Children are much better off in orphanages then in same sex households.
I dont know why these 2 women had so many kids...unless the kids were siblings. The kids were asking neighbors for help. Too bad these complaints werent followed up on.
You are wrong about being better off in orphanages.. Im not championing same sex couples...but it seems smarter to take each couple on a case by case basis and determine parental fitness that way.
"The United States is facing a critical shortage of adoptive and foster parents. As a result, hundreds of thousands of children in this country are without permanent homes. These children languish for months, even years, within state foster care systems that lack qualified foster parents and are frequently riddled with other problems. In Arkansas, for example, the foster care system does such a poor job of caring for children that it has been placed under court supervision. "
A Crisis in Adoption and Foster Care
Right now there is a critical shortage of adoptive and foster parents in the United States. As a result, many children have no permanent homes, while others are forced to survive in an endless series of substandard foster homes. It is estimated that there are 500,000 children in foster care nationally, and 100,000 need to be adopted.2 But last year there were qualified adoptive parents available for only 20,000 of these children.3 Many of these children have historically been viewed as "unadoptable" because they are not healthy white infants. Instead, they are often minority children and/or adolescents, many with significant health problems.4
There is much evidence documenting the serious damage suffered by children without permanent homes who are placed in substandard foster homes. Children frequently become victims of the "foster care shuffle," in which they are moved from temporary home to temporary home. A child stuck in permanent foster care can live in 20 or more homes by the time she reaches 18. It is not surprising, therefore, that long-term foster care is associated with increased emotional problems, delinquency, substance abuse and academic problems.5
In order to reach out and find more and better parents for children without homes, adoption and foster care policies have become increasingly inclusive over the past two decades. While adoption and foster care were once viewed as services offered to infertile, middle-class, largely white couples seeking healthy same-race infants, these policies have modernized. In the past two decades, child welfare agencies have changed their policies to make adoption and foster care possible for a much broader range of adults, including minority families, older individuals, families who already have children, single parents (male and female), individuals with physical disabilities, and families across a broad economic range. These changes have often been controversial at the outset. According to the CWLA, "at one time or another, the inclusion of each of these groups has caused controversy. Many well-intended individuals vigorously opposed including each new group as potential adopters and voiced concern that standards were being lowered in a way that could forever damage the field of adoption."6
As a result of the increased inclusiveness of modern adoption and foster care policies, thousands of children now have homes with qualified parents.
You know that many of the children in the foster care system are not available for adoption. You're aware of that, right. The parents are in prison, in the hospital, in rehab, they want their children, they just can't have them right now. Right now just seems to go on for a life time. But the children are not in the adoption system.
It is estimated that there are 500,000 children in foster care nationally, and 100,000 need to be adopted.2
But last year there were qualified adoptive parents available for only 20,000 of these children.3
