Yes. There is no reason to believe that a child is better off with straight couples.

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?

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.
