Homosexual couples wants the same rights in society with the heterosexual couples. That is becouse they breath the same air, becouse they go to work like others, the pay their fees like others, they have jobs, carrers they bring their contribution to the society too. They say is only their problem their sexual orientation, they are free to make love with anyone they consider and people should not jude them. And maybe they are right to ask for social acceptation as long as the gouvernaments take their money too. But a real family could never be made by two men, or two women and an adopted child. They can do everything they want, they can love anyone they want, they can choise everything they want in their lifes but they just CAN'T decide a child's destiny. They can decide ONLY for themseves.
Homosexual people know that a good part of society blame them and they want to adopt babies knowing that babies will be rejected by the society becouse of them. Growing up a baby, is not the same thing with growing up an animal. It is not only about food, drinks and clothes. Growing up a child is more than that is making that child ready for having social relationships, you teach that child how to be accepted between others, how to get well with people everywhere he will need to go in life. You have to make him ready for life, ready for others becouse a human being cannot live alone. He will live among others and others will jude him (although it is not their bussines), they will decide for him in many situations and their words and actions could hurt him, can ruin his life. I think homosexual people should think about times when a child will go to school. If mature people are rude sometimes, intolerant and willing to hurt, then what about kids? What could an adopted kid do in a classrom, in a school when all the others will ofend him and his parents, when other kids will speak bad to him and hurt him? What should he say then? What should he do? How will be possible for him to explain to so many kids that he has no fault? How will that kids understand that, the adopted by homesexuals one is as normal as they are? why should a child pay with his childhood for his parents sexual orientation? When you love a child you think about his future too, you think about his happiness that depends to others. Parents mean a lot for a baby but when the baby grow up parents are not all anymore. He will need friends, classmates, neighbours, he will need to be respected, apreciated among others like him. Unfortunaly a happy childhood doesn't depend on parents only. It is not enough for a school kid to be loved by their parents. Their love and affection, the food and the clothes wont satisfy him anymore when he will go to school and others will ofend him and abuse him day by day. Think that is possible for him that one day to be ashamed with his family and juding them for adopted him. Maybe sometimes the shame and loneliness are worst than anything else.
I didn't want to talk here only about the baby's perceptions when he will see that his family is so much different from others, and i didn't want to coment what a homosexual couple will teach their adopted child about life and family. I wanted to write only about the adopted baby's childhood and happiness. I really hope that the homosexual people will think about it.
