Ok I have a serious question here:
When a gay couple adopt a child, don't u guys think the child will grow impacted heavily by the non-traditionl family he/she has?

Can it possibly be worse than a single parent family with only a mom or a dad? Or a kid being raised by warring parents who openly hate each other but "stay together for the kids"? Or a kid being raised by extended family?

My opinion is that the only "normal" way to raise a child is with a loving mother and father in a "Mayberry" setting. Unfortunately for the vast majority of kids in north america today, thats not how they are raised. We do the best we can with what we have.

I meant to compare that to an "ideal" two parent family with ideal husband and wife relationship. not no waco family.

Nope.

When people adopt a child, they are scrutinized carefully before they can adopt. Biological parents aren't checked out like that . . .

And look at all the screwed up kids that come from dysfunctional heterosexuals marriages. Can gay people do any worse than that? Probably not . . .
