"In the beginning, I was even pig-headed about it," said Mr. Farina, who now has four children with his partner. "I wanted the kids to bond with us. I didn't want any help. In those first few years, I didn't even get baby sitters. I thought, `That's my job.' "

Wish some heterosexuals would have this opinion more often.

I'm actually quite conflicted about this issue. Sure sounds like these guys are good dads. But, homosexuals, either by nature or by choice, are not supposed to be parents, biologically-speaking.

I have a bit of a problem believing that folks who are supposedly "wired wrong" so they have abnormal sexual feelings/instincts can have "perfectly normal" parenting feelings/instincts.

Stories like this (IMO) are more designed to break down the wall of resistance to the Gay Agenda and a tool to help the evil one subvert the Almighty One. Just another oil slick on the ramp which society seems to be sliding down...

Pure propaganda. I'll be back later.

Poor kids.

Although I think it's great that these men are being primary caregivers instead of dumping their children at daycare, it's not natural for homosexual couples to have children. Kids raised by gay parents have a whole lot of hurdles that kids in the traditional family just don't have to jump over.

Am I crazy, or has there been an explosion of "wonderful gay parent" articles in the press in the last week? I'm beginning to think there is some sort of organized plan in the media to push "gay parents are wonderful" stories right now.

My own small town liberal rag ran a lead story Sunday feature article on a pair of lesbian parents in our town. Of course, the two women both have their doctorate and are college professors. They are articulate and very effective in making the case that they are doing a great job raising their adopted 2 year old daughter.

Of course, the article avoids all of the nasty parts of the issue, like your 16 year old adolescent having to explain the 2 mommys to their Prom date, or daddy #1 explaining why daddy #2 just died of AIDS.

"four percentage points higher than for female couples"

This is not suprising, given that the feminazis have been against females staying home to raise kids. What does suprize me is that they are not fighting the "enslavement" of their "girlfriends".

Ray Friedmann, of Portland, Ore., gave up an accounting job at a credit union after he and his partner adopted their daughter, Ceriwen, now six months old.

I just want to know how the hell to pronounce "Ceriwen." Karen? Sarawen? WTF? (But at least it's not Baylee, like the no-chewing chicken kid.)

Homosexuals treat children like a fashion accessory. They are purusing children as if they were a fashionable shirt or belt.

No surprise theis is from the heavily homosexual staffed NYT. This is more on the push to inoculate homosexual marriage from the "marriage is an institution to raise children".

It dovetails with the human rights campaining against the FMA. If you want to protect future generations of children. If you wnat children to be strong individuals. Then having a strong marriage of one man and one woman is the way to go.

The children of homosexuals are going to be guaranteed mental problems in the future.

This is part of a larger campaign. I knew it as soon as I saw the headline. Just yesterday, I posted a piece from the Atlanta papers about two lesbians who claim they are being persecuted by the town's wealthiest country club because they are not considered spouses and therefore their (adopted) children have been made to feel "different." I'm not surprised to see the Times leading the charge on this once again.

Just like to know what people think about this.

Aside from the fact that homosexuality is completely un-natural and goes against every single impulse that has ever brought life to this planet, and aside from the fact that same-sex couples playing house and raising children is just the latest perversion of nature to sweep our socially engineered world, I don't have a problem with it.

a baby is born or woman for a reason..

when we start making up these false and obscence family groups, we are disrupting the evolutionary chain....

and just the thought of two gays taking care of a little boy or little girl is enough to give me nightmares...

because I believe with all my heart that homosexuality is abnormal, that at its heart is promiscuity.

This is freaking me out. They are able to adopt a child, something my husband and I cannot due because we cannot afford me to stay home with said child, and yet they continue to whine about it! I am freaking out on many different levels. These poor children are going to grow up and be whiny and confused individuals. God help us!
