MADRID, Spain (LifeSiteNews.com) – In light of a pending vote in the Spanish Senate on same-sex marriage HazteOir, together with the Spanish Forum for the Family and the Institute for Family Policy, has published and distributed an in-depth report on the effects that being raised by same-sex parents has on a child. The report, entitled “Report on Infantile Development in Same-Sex Couples” and available only in Spanish at this time, gathers and compares information from a vast number of studies carried out on the issue.
HazteOir, concerned by the apparent unquestioning acceptance in Spain of homosexual adoption, hopes that the wide array of information provided in the report and its extensive bibliography will prove to the Senate that homosexual parentage is harmful for children.
The president of HazteOir stated, in light of the findings of the report: “In no way can a couple of persons of the same sex be judged suitable for adopting a child. Considering the findings of this vast bibliography we are obliged to protect the minor and say that same-sex couples must not be allowed to adopt children.”
The report contests that the majority of the studies carried out which have concluded in favour of same-sex parenthood betray an egregious lack of scientific rigour. Most of the studies show a strong bias to one side.
To prove this the report analyzes the nature of the individuals who have been responsible for the various studies carried out thus far, demonstrating that the vast majority are either homosexuals themselves, or active in the gay-rights movement. Into this category fall all six of the six most prominent psychologists of the American Psychological Association, which, unsurprisingly is one of the organizations most strongly and vocally in favour of homosexual adoption.
In compiling and comparing the available data from these studies, as well as more objective studies, the team of first-class psychologists and sociologists which penned the HazteOir report have noted prominent and disturbing trends.
Among children raised by same-sex couples, the report notes a significant increase in low self-esteem, stress, confusion regarding sexual identity, an increase in mental illness, drug use, promiscuity, STD’s, and homosexual behaviour, amongst others. Furthermore, the report shows that statistics have brought to light the fact that same-sex relationships betray a much higher instance of separation and break-up than heterosexual relationships, increasing the likelihood that the child will experience familial instability.
The Spanish Association of Pediatrics firmly backs up the findings of the report, stating that a “family nucleus with two fathers or two mothers is clearly dangerous for the child”.

Even though I can understand your anger and the FACT that homosexuals offend children 10 times more than heterosexual adoption....BUT me thinks your tagline "Homosexual adoption=free sex-toy for perverts" kinda goes over the top of conservatism and lands you in the DU troll category.
Cool the rhetoric or meet the kitties...

The tagline may be going overboard a little, but I don't agree with your last statement here at all nor with homosexuals raising kids or adopting.
As a teacher (and many teachers will say the same thing), I know that generally, the most well-adjusted kids come from a traditional, two-parent, involved family. I haven't needed any studies to come to this conclusion. Actually, nobody should.

Oh my, don't get me wrong, the practice of perversion is VERY detrimental to being a parent.
Orca on the other hand sounds like a DU plant who wants to fly under the radar and post extremest/skinhead rants that gives FR a bad name.
That's my only concern.
I think you are right and so does the Spanish study.
i don't know why people are so critical on here, alot of people on here seem to have alot of hatred and prejudice towards gays and why... what is it that they have done to any of you have all of you people on here been sexually harrassed or seduced by them which i doubt.
you don't have to agree with the lifestyle but you should have the decency to accept the people after all what consenting adults do in private is their own buisness.
ohh and comparing homosexuality to bestiality and pedophillia is obscene because there is a big difference and that is that homosexuality is mostly between consenting adults where as bestiality involves sex which the anaimal can not give consent so therefore it is rape the same applies to peodophillia children are to young to give consent and are not ready for sex so therefore it is also rape.
it's like comparing heterosexuality to rape and incest which is also obscene.
