That poor kid. I can’t believe that this is now an issue.

Amazing.

We aren’t supposed to talk about certain things, such as instability in homosexual relationships. But it’s quite possible this woman won’t be in this child’s life long term.

In that case, all her angst will be a moot point.

I have, more than once, asked friends who think adoptions by gays are no different than adoptions by a married, heterosexual couple, this question: why do you have the right to decide that this child doesn’t get to have a Mother and a Father?? I have asked friends who have no children yet think it’s fine for a child to have ‘two daddies or two mommies’, if the had benefited from have a MOTHER and a FATHER. I never get answers to these logical questions. Gay adoptions are NEVER about the child. They are always about self-centered adults wanting THEIR WAY above all else. And the children suffer. I actually had a Lefty friends say ‘well, we know that gay relationships are much calmer than heterosexual relationships’. All I could say was ‘You’re kidding, right?’. I’m done with the arguing. They don’t care about anything but pushing the edge of the envelope further and further. Decriminalizing pedophilia is the next step.

Does this woman ever stop to think, that years ago , what she is able to do would not have been permitted in the first place? Any appreciation for the fact that life for homosexuals has really opened up, society is more tolerant, etc???? Any realization of that??

Also, she has to understand that, homosexual marriage presents these difficulties, because they can’t be biological parents together. In traditional marriage, we can make the legal assumption about man and woman being biological parents. In a homosexual situation, that legal presumption is impossible.

I’ve often wondered how children who were born through a sperm bank felt. Does anyone do studies on this?

My mother and father were married when I was born. For reasons I still do not know to this day, she abandoned both of us when I was about 10 months old. So even though I was not adopted nor the child in a same-sex relationship, I can fully attest to the lifelong hurt, lifelong yearning, and lifelong anger that comes with not knowing both one’s mother and father. Nothing and no one can answer the questions a child has about what amounts to a non-existent parent.

I’m sure gays have a bunch of bull that evil white heterosexual couples don’t want to adopt children. All liberals have lies they pull out at a moment’s notice.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If a woman remarries, her new husband becomes the stepfather of her children from the previous marriage...

If the original husband/father is dead or disqualified by the courts to father his children, the “stepfather” can adopt the children and become the real new father...

but until then he is the stepfather and not legally the father...although the children might call him Dad...

same process...

so what’s the problem ???

That “woman” is way too selfish to be a parent.

Agree. The story about the lesbians in Oregon should dispel all notions that ‘gay’ relationships are calmer than straight ones. Sedate the kids and then drive everybody off the cliff so you all die, is not what I would call good parenting.

You reminded me of something...

Using DNA adult illegitimate children are connecting to their birth fathers and half siblings...

What happens when this child finds his or hers years later ???

I remember doing a ride along with an officer in Laguna beach and he was showing me all the homosexual bars and hangouts. He told me there were more domestic abuse and homicides in the homosexual community than ay other. I was taking a ton of psychology and nursing classes back then and nary a word in the colleges. I suppose the gaystapo but a gay stop to those numbers.

At the heart of any homosexual relationship is mental aberration brought on by some “deadly” sin — pride, selfishness, etc. It’s become politically incorrect to even identify mental illness if someone to someone who is sexually deviant in “certain” ways, however.

2 Timothy 3
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

Oy. I went through a hell of a lot more to get my child and I’m not complaining. If only I were a lesbian. I could lie here and whine like a beached dolphin like this b.
