How it is it any different when a child has a single parent? I get it, it is better for the child if they have a mom and a dad BUT so many children only have one mom and grow up great. So what if they have two mom’s but no dad’s – does not mean they won’t be great!

As much as I disagree with their personal choices, I have very little issue with homosexual couples adopting. Why? I guess because we all have things in our lives that make us less than perfect parents. Kids need to be loved. Has anyone read the book “Martian Child” ? True story about a single, gay man adopting a troubled kid. AMAZING BOOK!!! The movie version changed the plot to be a single widower for some reason. Both are well worth reading/viewing.

Wow. I just cannot believe this! (I’m a social work student right now actually.) Since I am recently a birth mother too, this is a topic I am big in! I HONESTLY was considering a couple like this for my child! They can parent too! They can be GREAT parents! I think people fear them also because they fear the couple will be pedophiles. Come on! The couples just want their chance at having children tooooo!

And gee, there is such a line up of people waiting to adopt teen boys. Hello.

And I find it so stupid that they prosecute hate crimes in the US yet legislate descrimination as perfectly fine.

And, my kids made false allegations against potential adoptive parents once. The parents were kept from being able to adopt again but they continued to foster-there is a double standard and you really have to wonder why that is.

I'm glad this child got to keep his family.

Anyone see the child abuse story on Oprah this week? Those girls live the next suburb over from me in Ohio. They were drugged and horrifically sexually abused and video taped by their friend’s father during sleepovers. This man was a “typical” suburban husband and dad. This guy has been labeled as the most active downloader of child porn in the USA. Gay/lesbian does not equate with pedophile nor does straight/married necessarily equate with non pedophile.

I’ve made some “Real Mom” and “Real Dad” shirts and put them on my cafepress store.
