Christians, are kids better off living in carehomes than being adopted by a gay couple?

Children should be raised by anyone who is capable of being a decent, nurturing, loving parent.

I don't care if the parent(s) is (are) black, white, gay, straight, single, Christian, atheist, Buddhist (insert other beliefs here) polygamist, polyamorous...

So long as the child's needs are met, the child feels welcomed, loved, secure and confident, then nothing else really matters.

There are plenty of couples who should never have children, such as drunkards, alcoholics, abusers and losers, yet we never seem to see anyone speaking out against them. It's always that gays shouldn't adopt, or that others should not adopt out of religion or race. I find that ludicrous.

I was 13 years in a care home.

The people who damaged me the most were foster parents having been fostered out once, the police when I was very young having assaulting me, people on TV and even one or two social workers. But when looking back, the most of my childhood was good when living in care. I lived out my youth like most other teenagers. The Law makers spoiled it when they changed the Law in regards to what kids could call those who looked after us. For a long time we called the staff aunty and uncle, but they changed it so that we were only allowed to call them by their first name. This was blow to us as children because forming emotional bonds as children is very important.

But then the bureaucrats business is trouble, so no surprise there.

PS: During the 13 years I saw so many kids being fostered out only to come back worse than they left. Fostering does not work, adopting can work, but fostering does not work.

Uhh. 'All children NEED a father and a mother'. No they don't. They need someone or people to care and love for them. Oh this child is being abused/neglected by their parents but that's okay because they're male and female. This is basically what you people are saying. It isn't about the gender/sexuality of parent(s) it's about THEM. Who they are, how they're taken care of!

They're better off being adopted by a gay couple. Ideally, however, children need both a mother and a father.

@ Kanon hara. Good to hear the views of a dinosaur. Fortunately for the kids many of us abandoned your inhuman way of thinking several decades ago. I thought Christianity was about love not personal prejudice.

There are many non gay couples who should not be parents. So each individual case is different.

I know 2 ladies who adopted a boy and they are great parents!

@The Kanon Hara- I'm on to you- but some still are not. You are an atheist troll, and pretending to be a Christian as you do is pathetic

I can't make a general statement- but I can comment on specific cases.

What a pathetic attempt to justify homosexuality. Let me use your logic.. Are kids better off being left in a home full of neglect or allow murderers to adopt them. You sir are a tool.

no, but I'm not a fundamentalist or hater
