Present me with reason adoption should be legalized and we can talk, presenting me with these are good people is not one. I do not doubt these adults love for the children in their care, and the state is recognizing that these individuals are indeed providing good care for these children by allowing them to live and continue to live with them.... what they are not doing is allowing them to be legally the parents of these children. They are "foster" parents, but not parents at least legally... o(f course I don't think any state agency can tell you who truly you feel your parents are if you are the child in this situation you are going to bond and love as parents those you choose with or without the states ok or permission)... so what is the legal requirement of definition of being a parent? Don't throw the emotion at me, the true legal requirement and definition.... then once that is known a true debate can be made.
This article is about emotion, and it is next to impossible to keep emotion out when you are talking about children without parents I know.
Oh really? We should have to grant equal access for adoption to those who openly practice incest and bestiality; they too can offer a loving environment. What about their needs? I guess they’d be better off as long as it’s a loving, committed and consensual relationship, right?
Putting children in households where perversion is practiced is child abuse.
Yeah, it's a well known fact that homosexuals "love" children in greater proportion than the general population.
But that doesn't mean we should scrifice children to them - even in foster homes.
Shalom.
