Robyn Mezzio(Edison) Should Gays Be Allowed to Adopt? I Think Not

My Mom once taught a young man who came from a homosexual home.  He had not a mother and a father; but, two mothers.  I don’t know about you, but one mother is enough for me.  I truly love my mom, but, I don’t need another one.  It is kind of good that my father is rather uninvolved in every little, microscopic particle of my life.  Anyway, this pitiful, little boy was always confiding in my mom about how he wished that his mom had never split up with his dad and how it was so weird to have parents like he had.  His real mom was the softy and his “other” mom was the strict, disciplinarian he learned to dread.  He often begged my mom to give him another chance because he was afraid to confront his “other” mom.  Also, it was no better for the poor thing at school.  He was whispered about behind his back and made fun of because of his unfortunate circumstances.  6th graders are like that.  They knew that he had lesbian parents, and they taunted him about it at times.  As though it was his fault!!  He did not have any choice in his lifestyle.  He told my mother that often his two moms’ gay friends, both male, female, and uncertain, came over and that he was used to them, even though he sometimes felt uncomfortable around them and hated to watch them kiss, including his own mother kissing another woman.   So————–I would not like to see this happen to kids on a common place basis.  Sure, his mother didn’t adopt him, but the scenerio is the same regardless.  I believe that it is wrong and agree with adoption agencies who are picky about who is allowed to adopt a child.  Adoption agencies are careful about not only the education and economic level of a couple that is seeking to adopt a child, but they conduct home visits, ask multitudes of questions to the couple and many people that they know, to include family members and employees and also the couple’s spiritual leaders.  They require letters of rescommendation and health records, both physical and mental to weed out possible problems and check each persons legal records and fingerprints.  They do not want any poor, sick, or crimals to adopt.  There are too many parents who want to adopt a child so they are very selective.

It is better for a child to be placed into a traditional woman / man, straight home.  This is the best scenerio for the child.  This way he will be happier because he won’t have to face the confusion that is inevitable to happen when a kid has gay parents.  You know, I said earlier that I wouldn’t really dream of having two moms; well, I would run away if I had two dads.  That would be sooo  worse.  Especially as a girl, I would feel like I had no one to turn to.  Every girl needs a mom.  Who would teach me about being a girl—-a flamer??  There is so many reasons that a girl needs a mom and there are many reasons why a boy needs a dad.  Also, a girl learns how to relate to members of the opposite sex, by having a parent of the opposite sex!  So does a boy.  Think about it.   Living in such an environment from infancy would cause a child to see the family unit in a very dysfunctional way.  It would probably cause him or her to become accepting of homosexuals  as a valid lifestyle and could help determine his own feelings of sexuality.  He could end up choosing the homosexual lifestyle for himself.  Then, again, with homosexual parents, there is more of a possibility that one or both of them may contact AIDS or Hepititus B.  That would be sad.  There could be a multitude of personal and mental problems to follow.  One source reports that 30% of suicides occur among gays and lesbians.  Doesn’t sound so “gay” to me, right?  In conclusion, I must say that I am glad that my parents are not gay!!  If yours are, I am so sorry and I hope that you won’t try to adopt if you are gay.  It’s just not right!!
