For some people still to believe that one day one wakes up and choses their sexuality is sad beyond belief.

And being controversial here, in my opinion the so called 'normal' people who worry about predatory homosexuals recruiting youngsters to their perverted club, are exactly the sort of people who harbour secret desires about their own sexual leanings.

I read an article about their little family a short time ago. The children are well adjusted and have two caring parents. What more could they ask?

As far as I'm concerned, if a child is wanted and loved, does it matter?

They do seem well adjusted, if a little spoiled, but hey the Beckhams do that to their kids too.

In my humble opinion, it is prety uncharted waters how do you gamble and say well lets try it and see if it works, all adoptions are somewhat a gamble no matter what sex the parents are, the adoptees could divorce or go to gaol, life is full of 'ifs an ands', the welfare of the children is paramount, and all that realy matters is that a decent monitoring service is in place, 'not to interfere' but as a fail safe back up if things go pear shaped. So why not?

Most child abuse in this country takes place in 'normal' families.

FACT.

We seem to have meandered from the point a little. Gay couples do adopt. This isn't about a law permitting them to adopt or banning them from adopting. It's about a law forcing an adoption agency to place children with gay couples rather than referring those couples to another agency. The Catholic church doesn't want to stop gay couples adopting, they just want to opt out of being the ones who organise it.

If they are abusing children then they are not normal!

Jambutty why don't you write to Louise Brown's parents, and tell them they shouldn't really be enjoying being new grandparents, as their union didn't produce a normal child, and they had to resort to having the world's first test tube baby?

It is wandering, but when reasons are given that such adoptions might produce homosexual children through learned behaviour, that needs to be challenged.

EXACTLY..........................and if anyone here on this forum can show me a normal FAMILY.............not only will I eat my Knickers!!! I will also call them a LIAR!!!!

Family life does NOT come with a book on DO's and DONT's............ you muddle through the way you think right at the time. And I'm sorry............EVEN a LESBIAN or GAY man could do that!!!!

Crack and HIV/Aids babies are available from the Chatholic Aid adoption agency here in California, usually mixed race , I know a lesbian couple who have one of each

Its great for debate.. but laws have been passed by an elected Parliment.. church V parliment.. and there is no way any religion should have the arrogence to suppose they can claim exemption to any elected body.. you voted for a Goverment.. not a religion

Thats a pretty keen statement from a country that proliferated the aids virus to the planet from white american folks

WillowTheWhisp · 26-01-2007, 23:54

So are you saying Mancie that the Catholic church should have no rights?

'Children raised in gay or lesbian households do not show any greater incidence of homosexuality or gender identity issues than other children.'
