Putting children in households where perversion is practiced is child abuse.

My partner and I adopted two siblings 15 years ago after their bio parents were convicted on multiple counts of injury to a child, indecency with a child and drug related charges. At the time of the adoption, the boys had physically recovered from their injuries but emotional scarring took years to overcome. My partner and I worked hard, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on medical care, psychiatric care and private schools but more than any thing provided them with love and support. Today both are at the University of Texas earning 4.0 GPA's while majoring in chemical engineering and architecture. If we had not stepped in and adopted our boys they would either be dead, in jail or would have been raised by the State of California on your tax dollars and very likely would not be a successful and well rounded as they are today.

Before you question my perversion you may want to ask a child that was adopted by gay parents what they are thankful that they were adopted. However, if you are totally opposed to gay parents adopting children you should adopt children of your own.

God bless you and your success in raising what appears to be wonderful children. My point is that your situation is not the “ideal” for children to be permanently and legally assigned to and to do so knowingly is abuse, hard cases make poor law. You may think these children would have not turned out as well as they did without you, and perhaps they may not have, but you prevented the opportunity for the “ideal” family to have that happen. I’ll pray for you and your partner to find reparation.

Sorry, but the child is hardly the expert on this subject. Even if you did "rescue" this child from someone who has a mental disorder, you simply pulled him out of the frying pan to put him into the fire.

There is help for your disorder. You should not be required to seek it, but you should before you are allowed to adopt.

Shalom.

I commend you and your partner for a job well done, you have done better for those kids than alot of biological parents can do nowadays.

Im not sure exactly how I feel about homosexual adoption though. In the case mentioned in the article where a gay couple has been raising a boy for all 10 years of his life I would see no problem with it provided it is what the child wanted too. However, if Im not mistaken (and I certainly could be) a large percent of pedophiles are homosexual. That is NOT to say a large percent of homosexuals are pedophiles. I would be concerned to see a gay man or woman walk into an adoption agency looking to adopt a complete stranger though. (I dont know anything about adoption policies, especially concerning how much time a potential parent has to spend with a kid before adoption.) But I would think a pedophile could control his or herself long enough to complete the adoption process then have a free for all with their newly adopted (and quite possibly troubled or confused) kid.
