Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

They should have a right but not the same.

Yes, but I think they should have to go through more of a thorough process to see if it is a good idea. I don't think every same-sex couple should be automatically permitted to adopt. Are they in a long-term, very stable and loving relationship? Are they going to provide a balanced view of the sexes - nothing wrong with being gay, but are they going to raise the child in a home that reveres both sexes. Are they adopting the child for the child's sake or for theirs?

NO , because the children's right overwrites their adoptive wishes.

Must pass rigorous background checks. Must have been co-habitating atleast 10 years. Must be atleast 35 years old. Must have reasonable income. Must open trust account for child for $1M.

Adoption is baby-trafficking. Selling human beings for profit is immoral. Adoption should be replaced with permanent legal guardianship.

So if I believed that I am Elizabeth Is the Queen of England I would be, at best, tagged as irrational and delusional. If I am a man who believes he is a woman, I am not delusioal. I am gay. Reminds me of a story. After God created human beings Satan scoffed and said he could do better. On the day of the demo, Satan scooped up a handful of dirt, at which point God says, "Dude! get your own dirt!"

No, adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples. However not just any straight couple as I'm sure there are better suited gay couples than some straight couples.

Yes, so long as the couples involved are deemed to have a balanced approach to child-rearing and education and are not radical Lesbian (or gay male) separatists who despise the opposite sex. I say this as a gay man myself who is an uncle but has, for the moment, and since I became an adult, no desire to be a father to any children, adopted or biological.

For myself as a gay man, I do not believe in denying the right for other other queer couples to adopt children, however I would have a difficult time in accepting this reality for myself, believing that a traditional family structure is much better suited to be raising children.

Only if one of the same-sex partners is the parent or legal guardian of the child concerned.

Gay couples should have a better chance of adopting than straights

Why are these even questions anymore? Yes gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples. For everything.

Yes. Straight couple should have to go through the same hoops and screening gay couple do. Being a man and woman does not make a couple automatically a better choice for adoption. Every adoptive parent should undergo at least a year of registered therapy to assess a parents readiness, emotional maturity and ability to parent an adoptive child. Spoken from the viewpoint of an adopted child of straight parents but has seen much better adoptive parenting from LGBT friends and community.

Yes, adoption agencies should not have any grounds for refusal or any different policies just because a couple is of their partner preferences.

Gay couples should not be a thing. It is for the heathens and goes against the Bible.

as long as the child is okay with it.

I think that some gay couples can be just as good at raising children as straight couples, though I am opposed to the idea that somebody can have two legal fathers and mothers

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy at allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Sure? I mean they are human and they can but the life the child gets is very different to straight couples.

Yes, only if there are no available straight couples

No there should be no gay in the world

No, due to how the odds of a child being successful in a home with a mother and father dynamic.

No i don't think that two individuals of the same sex can raise a child of the opposite sex for example two men raising a girl there needs to be balance. Also the child being adopted would have no choice to either choose gay parents or straight ones

Yes, sexual orientation should not be a determining factor in adoption cases at all

there should bee no gay people in Canada

It really depends if they are able to fully parent a child and do both jobs the mothers and the fathers job then yes but if they’re just babying the kid the next generations of men will be week because they wont have actual men ready to dicplin their children correctly

ehh if i was being adopted i'd want a mother and father, but if they are both loving and in a stable relationship i suppose there's no problem.

yes but the child should be checked in on as they should have both a female and male figure they can look up to

Pass, the same background checks as straight parents, and it should be the child's choice by the age of 5 whether or not they want those people to be their parents. (Without persuasion, a child's intuition shouldn't fail).

I'm in general disagreement with promoting gay family child rearing. I think children need both a mother and father. Sadly, many fathers are absent and many mothers choose bad mates. Is an adopted or IVF child better off in a calm, loving gay household than an abusive, violent hetero household? Most likely, yes. But I would hope the gay household tries to get an adult of the opposite gender involved in the child's life. Some gay households, especially lesbian households have a real hatred of men and they should NOT have children until they address their baggage.

Yes, as long as they’re not leftists. Only right wing homosexual couples can be trusted to not groom their children into the woke leftist cult.

Yes, but should have an opposite gender person involved in the child’s life (I.e child is female, being close with a grandmother, aunt, etc.)

I think it is important but no because what about the kid they could be Muslim or another religion that doesn't include gay people in there community

As much as I support couples like this, a child needs a mother and a father to learn different aspects of life

Yes, but cannot push a gender or pronouns onto their child from a young age, creating confusion for the child.

Adoption should be child centred not adult centred. Biological families should be supported when in crisis. Adoption should be last resort and if possible kinship adoption and not strangers. Children should not be trafficked for the wants of adults.

Yes, but make sure that they aren't the type that will purposefully try to assimilate their child to be lgbt

Gay couples should not even be possibility, let alone raise a child to be like them, that’s ridiculous

Yes, gay couples must have the same rights to adopt chuldren because it is beneficial for both. Children, who are without family need anyone who cares them and also every couple either gay couples want their heirs.

Yes, but the individual giving up the child should have the right to choose same-sex or straight couple as caregivers

No, mother father family structure is best for a child and adoption agenies should prioritize straight couples over gay couples

i think it depends becuse i dont really care what people do but at the same time i think they shouldnt be allowed

I don't see why not as long as your able to take care of a child then who cares of what gender you like decides on that.

As long as they don’t force lgbtq rights into their kid and let their kids have their own feelings it’s fine

Yes just don’t destroy the mind of children enforcing that they are anything but straight brainwashing them

I believe Gay couple can have the same rights as long as they don't abuse or try to force their gender or sexuality expectations on that child, it is a form of mental abuse and should not be tolerated.

If they allow their child to make their own choices of how they want to be in terms of being gay or not.

Yes but there should be a quiz or a confirmation that they have the right needs for the child

they should have the right to
