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

No

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

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

No, and gay couples should not be able to adopt children

Yes, but adoption laws should be harmonized with access to IVF for gay and straight couples, so that lesbian couples must meet the same requirements for using IVF as gay men for adoption.

Children require mother and father symbol in life

criminalize homosexuality

No offence but im homophobic

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 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.

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

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, 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

Yes and the same should be considered for single parents

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

no, they should have more rights than hetties

the kids should be able to decide

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

Gay people should be Executed, homosexuality is a sin

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

Gay people should be euthenised. Heil!

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.

let them do what they want
