I cannot even believe that this is a debatable topic. Of course a child with Aids should be available for adoption, why shouldn't they? What type of society would be if we only put up for adoption only the "good looking" kids, or the "smart" or even the "light haired" kids. All children deserve a family, whether they have Aids, Cerbreal Palsy, ADHD, or any other mental or physical disability. We are talking about children here, human beings with hearts, feelings, and minds of their own. They did not choose to be born with any complication, so why should they be punished for the way that they are.

Children are gifts from God; they deserve love, understanding, attention, and parents. They don't deserve to be looked down on, discriminated against, or even subjected to humiliation because of the way they were born. When you adopt a child you make a commitment to that child just as if that child was your own. You love them, cherish them, and take care of them. What some people fail to think that they were once children and how would they have felt if they were banned from something life changing because of a lifestyle issue they had no control over.

There are far too many children in this world that need families, and children in large numbers are striving for attention. Recorded neglection of children is at record highs and that's for children with families, so one can only imagine what a child without a family is going through. Is it fair that a child should go through life alone because they have an incurable disease? Call me silly, but in my opinion that triples the reason why a child should have a family. The child deep down inside knows they are not going to live a normal life, so why should you make a child waste have of their life looking for a family and facing only rejection.

A child with a terminal illness needs someone to be with them, to walk with them, talk with them, sit in at doctor's appointments, pray with, go shopping with, go on a family vacation. Here's a question you need to ask yourself, if for some reason you should have a child and should pass away let's say at child birth and your baby was born with a terminal illness, would you wish for your child to live a happy life with an adoptive parent? Would you want your child to be rejected a family simply because they are not in perfect health? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "No". I don't know why this is a topic of debate, there should be no question, there should be no specifications on who could be adopted. Every orphan should have the same opportunity to have a forever family.
