This is a touchy topic, Florida has an issue with this because that entire thing with Rosie O'Donnell, was a mess. I think that with the amount of children the the foster care system that after a person is screened , and the moral are evaluated. as they do in the home study process, that this should not be an issue. I live in Atlanta, and there are over 2000 children who need a "Forever Family" and who is to say that a gay or lesbian person can not properly parent a child.

We often here about there being a molestation in the foster homes and in 95percent of the cases it is not a sax sex issue. it is a supposed hetro matter. Also I think that the overtone of the matter is that it is the assumption that all gay and lesbian couples are role playing. I.E. one have to be the man and one has to be a woman, that is so not true. I know personally of people here in Atlanta, who have adopted and they treat there children like there very own seed. There is no difference. Children are reared to understand this as they are presented to them. I think you can raise a child knowing that mommies and or daddies are different from other families. and they can be respectful of the matter..

No to clear some myths up. I do believe that these couples need to choose there affections a little better. Meaning all of the kissing and cuddling and things of that nature not to add confusion to the matter, or embarrassment to the child. Not all people are understanding to the lifestyle, I don't think it is a choice, I think that people are what they are. Children raised in a gay home can become just as successful in life as any other. Actually , in the black gay community there are more educated individuals and thus the push for the children is there. It also prepares them for the world as you do encounter many types of people.

so I think society thinks the gay lifestyle is all about sex and that is not true. They a people to and they love, hurt and bleed just as a heterosexual person. So to limit them is not fair and if they can provide a good life for the child they should be given the opportunity to do so. If it is the desire of the state or agencies to foster some different laws with regard to this matter I can respect that , but baning or not allowing it I think is unjust. If they can provide a good stable home , there sexual orientation should not be a factor.

A good life can be given to a child regardless of if they have a same safe parent structure or not. I
