Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

The healthiest children physically and psychologically have male and female role models. As such, non-straight individuals should be allowed to adopt if they can demonstrate reliable role models will be made available to the child of the opposing sex otherwise priority should go to straight couples who meet the same adoption criteria. If there are not male and female role models available then non-straight couples should be allowed to adopt, rather than leaving the children in the system.

they should only be allowed to adopt other gay people to get them out of our homes

Yes, but its not the government's prerogative to dictate who can and can't adopt based on sexual orientation.

Only if they are in a fit condition to raise a child

Yes, it is evidenced that planned same sex parented families score higher in child health, family cohesion and education when compared to unplanned heterosexual parented families

Adoption has become about being politically correct, appealing to a loud minority in our community and the adults wishing to adopt for their own benefits more than the child in poverty... this is an injustice and an abhorrence

Yes, reproach shows there is not deficit in children raised by gay couples as opposed to heteronormative couples and in fact children raised in diverse households have better social understanding. A family is a family and all children deserve one.

Yes but need background checks same as other couples but also not allowed to take child to any adult things like drag shows and pride parade.

They should be screened harder on their stance on raising a child and a child needs a strong influence from both a male and female role model

Sure but they shouldn’t be allowed to use those weird pronoun terms and say that the kid is non binary and all that stuff

as long as the parents are not abusive and have no criminal records or have recovered from their past

Depends. I’m personally not read on the trans topic, but I do understand gay, lesbian, and bisexual. In the case of latter, I don’t have an issue with them adopting kids but with the former, I don’t understand it so I’m neutral on it - no opinion.

i support the pirate party

I think yes but they need to be able to have a stable and loving environment for the child to grow up. Like straight couples you need to be able to provide for a child.

Let them choose for themselves

Yes, but I would always try and get a straight couple where possible as I believe it is better for that child and their mental health in the long run.

Yes, as long as they have a mother/father figure ready for proper child development

Religious Organisations should have the right to refuse adoption to homosexuals. (Only if they want)

yes, but adoption agencies should prioritise offering children to straight couples before gay couples

Criminalise homosexuality

gay people can only adopt gay children

gays die exept lil nas x

Yes but, I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child No, and adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples.

Gay people should be euthenised. Heil!

It should be the adoption agency decision

Yes, gay couples can adopt as long as they aren’t trans and aren’t pushing non binary, gender neutral rubbish on society and the child

Children require mother and father symbol in life

This isn't that relevant in Australia as only a small number of additions occur. What we need is to legalise surrogacy.

a stable and loving hetero couple is ideal due to different gender roles but a stable and loving gay couple is always prioritised over an unstable foster system

A stable and loving heterosexual family is ideal due to different gender roles, but a stable and loving homosexual family is better than an unstable foster home.

In child adoption, when all other suitability factors remain equal between candidates, preference should be given to heterosexual couples, but not at the expense of a child to be adopted, into a loving home.

yes, but prioritise straight couples

Yes, Having a home is better than being in Foster care but I believe it is better to be in a house with a mum and dad.

Should be the kids decision to pick straight or gay parents.

I believe LGBT couples should get adoption priority. Straight couples can wait their turn since the system is a big failure.

Yes however adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples

Obviously Yes.

I say NO . I am a Christian and I know God loves EVERYONE...including babies aborted...so why don't we start a program that woman who are going to abort have an opportunity to save their child and give him/her to the Gay couple who will love the child as their own.

This will then stop mental health issues with the mother who has regret in the future for killing her child. It will stop the murders of beautiful children who are alive in the womb and it will give Gay Couples the greatest gift of a child to bring up as their own...it seems to be a Win Win for all involved.
The Mother would not have murdered the child . Maybe she should also be paid to give birth to the child by the Adoptive parents to be $10,000.
Lets not feel for the woman who is pregnant most of the time it is bc she chose to have sex...Lets be honest. Let be PRO LIFE.

only if they have a direct blood relationship with the child being adopted

Yes, but they should prioritise straight couples

No, and I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child in most cases

Yes, but priority should be for straight couples.

They deserve more rights

Only if they provide a good life for their child

If the child is comfortable with having gay parents

Adoption is about the rights of a child to have two parents. Not about the rights of the adults

Yes but only if it can be shown that children have positive opposite-sex role models closely involved with the upbringing. Some sociological traits are passed down through the different genders and both are required for healthy mood regulation

if they got raped then they should be able to abort, if not then they should not be able to

No, a child has the right to both a mother and a father, while not always an option, it is the ideal.

Depends, if a gay couple is more safe and loving than another straight couple then yes.

I think it honestly just depends on if the parents are good people and will raise the child to be a kind and compassionate person, not on the gender or sexual orientation of the parents

Yes, why are we even suggesting otherwise.

It depends on the case. If the child is that young they are not able to make a choice then it should not matter whether or not it is a same sex or different sex couple adopting. If the child is able to make a choice, and chooses that they want a heterosexual couple raising them instead of a homosexual one, then that should be respected and given. Whatever the child wants, and is best for the child should be done.

No this goes against God

God created man to marry a woman and Homosexuals are an abomination to him

If the family approves it

Yes, not allowing gay couples to adopt is discriminatory and everyone should have the ability to adopt a child.

Of course! its not like they have a choice! if they want kids they cant just make or summon one. I dont think kidnapping is right either

Only if the child is at the age where they can decide if they want a gay set of parents.

As long as the child that is being adopted is okay to have gay parents then that is fine.

The Bible says they are Homosexuals and have no rights

Yes As long as they can support the child.

They should get none in the name of god.

Yes and no but it comes down to if the kids are ok with it.

they can do what they want

Yes, but prioritise opposite sex couples

Only if the birth parents have agreed for the adoption of their baby to gay couples.

Q3, but keep in mind that children often need a mother and father figure and lacking one can result in potential mental health issues, a troubled experience of childhood, and i'm going to go out on a limb here and say the chances of a child with same-sex parents being bullied in school is way higher for multiple factors.

adoption yes, surrogates no.

Yes but the child should get a choice.

Depends on the preferences given by the mother or father who places the child for adoption.

bro leave me alone and talk to your daddy

yall are so mcf rude god damn deese mfs onlky wanbna be happy

u really think i care aboutr gay bois

their decision, i will not interfere

Yes, although I believe a mother and father family structure is preferable.

Yes, and they should be prioritised over straight couples

yes i believe same sex couples should have the same rights as long as the child has the influence of the other gender as a role model in some form (Aunty or Uncle, Grandma or Grandpa)

i am neutral

Yes, but mother father families should have prioritisation

I don’t believe in abortion

i do not want to ans

Yes. Obviously.

Yes but i feel like the child should be of age to make their own choice if they would feel comfortable with it

criminalize homosexuality

No offence but im homophobic

Yes, but I do personally believe mother and father families are better and more stable for a growing and stable social economy. Adoption agencies should prioritise mother and father families first.

No, if it comes down to an infertile straight couple trying to adopt, the infertile straight couple should be prioritised. If both straight and gay couples are trying to adopt out of choice, it should then be the same.

Yes and the same should be considered for single parents

no, they should have more rights than hetties

the kids should be able to decide

I support it, but I would be interested to know the influential and psycholigcal impact it may have on a childs development
