Gay adoption

A multiracial family is made by David and ralph gay couple with three adopted children. For four years we were struggling with the systems in Los Angeles County and in Santa Barbara County. From now, if people ask me ask about gay adoption, I will absolutely say “yes” and strongly support gay adoption. Between 1 million to 6 million children in the U.S. are being raised by committed lesbian or gay couples. In those children, research show has not found a single study showing that children of gay families to be disadvantage. Moreover, a lot of gay parents raise children as successful people. Homosexual parents are also offer safe home, good environment to their children. Children are raised in gay families can be just as successful as those with heterosexual parents, in some way they may have advantage.
Opponents of gay families often argue that such families produce children that are less successful, because children of gay families are more likely to be gay and believe that children raised by homosexual parents are placed at risk for metal, emotional. Being raised by gay parent means that the family unit has an unbalanced ratio of male and female role models in the home environment, you could reasonably expect that this imbalance would spread into the parents circle of friends and the people that the family socialise with on a regular basis. But I do not think those factors are not necessarily true in the real world.
Gay families are often more successful than single parents. They do better in discipline, self-esteem and have less psycho-social difficulties at home and at school. Many children are less aggressive, more nurturing to peers and more tolerant of diversity. Lesbian couples who are parenting together have most often been found to divide household and family labor relatively evenly and to report satisfaction with their couple relationships. Research on gay fathers likewise suggests that they are likely to divide the work involved in child care relatively evenly and that they are happy with their couple relationships (Johnson & O'Connor, 2002; Mc Pherson, 1993).
The gay adoption process is very rigorous, including extensive home visits and interviews of prospective parents. It is designed to screen out those individuals who are not qualified to adopt or be foster parents, for whatever reason. All of the evidence shows that lesbians and gay men can and do make good parents. Gay and lesbian parents are just as involved in child care as heterosexual parents. As I read in the National Organization for Men against Sexism, gay men worked fewer hours in order to devote more time to parenting. What does it show? It shows that gay families are more responsible in looking after their children. At the present time a lot of celebrities adopted children. For example: Elton John. I think everyone knows him and his one of the famous singers in the world. Gay couples aren't different from regular ones. They can also be good and loving parents. The children of gay couples will grow up with pluralistic views about human relationships and about diversity among them. Children will learn to accept and understand people that differ from everyone else, for certain reasons. There are hundreds of grown up kids who were grown up by gay couples, and they loved it. The adoption process is taking a lot of time, if a gay couple is patient enough and is willing a baby that much to go through the long process that means they will try their best to be good parents. The only problem, here is religion. Many religions are against same sex marriages, but that doesn’t mean that people should not have children just because their religion does not accept their way of living. Having different sexuality is not relevant to parenting, at all. The most important thing for an adopted child is to live with a family that needs him. If gay couples are able to give them as much love and attention as any other couples, why shouldn't they have them?

Many children are raised by homosexual families. From the statistic, there are more than 16.000 children who were adopted by homosexual parents and those children are more educated, have more economic resources that children who have heterosexual parents (Maxwell). Studies from 1981 to 1994, including 260 children reared by either heterosexual mothers or same-sex mothers after divorce, found no differences in intelligence, type or prevalence of psychiatric disorders, self-esteem, well-being, peer relationships, couple relationships, or parental stress. Many studies and different research conclude that “children of gay or lesbian parents are no different than those raised by heterosexual parents.”
Most important thing in family is love. Best for children is to grow up in a loving family, and gay couples have the capacities to offer protection and education to their adopted children. There are over 163 million orphans in the world, and those orphans from heterosexual families. Now, do you still think heterosexual families better than homosexual families”? They studied the development of preschool-age children adopted at birth by 27 lesbian couples, 29 gay male couples and 50 heterosexual couples, most in the D.C. and Mid-Atlantic region. The researchers gathered data on child development from parents, teachers and care-givers. Their hypothesis: The development of both child and adult would hinge more on each couple's parenting abilities -- stress, cooperation, laundry skills -- than on their sexual orientation. And that is what they found. Same-sex parents, and their adoptive children, fared just as well as heterosexual families.
Gay parents need to adopt more children because the gay adoption of children removes from the welfare system, thereby reducing their burden on local taxpayers. If more children are adopted by homosexual parents the government does not have to disburse that much money for them. According to a court case ruling in 1997 which compels the state of New Jersey to allow gay couples to jointly adopt children who are trapped in their foster care. There are “about 100000 children in the U.S. foster care systems, but only 20000 are adopted. There is obviously a lack of adopting hoes for the children who are available” (“A court case ruling in Mid-1997-DEC The State of New Jersey.”).
There is no evidence to suggest or support that parents with a gay, lesbian, or bisexual orientation are different from or deficient in parenting skills, child-centered concerns and parent-child attachments, when compared to parents with a heterosexual orientation. There is no legal reason what so ever to prohibit it because gay parents give to children same opportunities as heterosexual parents and as compassionate, caring and suitable parents as heterosexual parents.
