No, adoption is not a right; it is a privilege
@5BMY9784yrs4Y
Yes, gay couples statistically have more stable families
@5923ZB44yrs4Y
I believe gays are people and God says to love all people. If they are able to care for the child in a better manner than the child's biological parents, then I say it would be good for the child to have someone who will love them.
@59LDCB54yrs4Y
Yes, Research has shown that Gay couples make excellent parents.
@59DKLW94yrs4Y

@gtbensa4yrs4Y

What in the name. That's like telling a five year old to never go back to their mother, if they don't understand why you guys are both men or women and don't understand the production of human. Explain to them at least, if you don't see if and they are uncomfortable with the situation, please for your adopted son or daughter dress up like a men or women so they don't feel uncomfortable. Do it for them if they feel this way. I know this might be a terrible thing to ask of you guys.
