    the potential problems are the issues the kid grows up with. you keep trying to bait me into saying something stupid or prejudiced against gays. i'm not because i'm not. i don't know how to go about it. that's not my expertise.

    ^this was your first post, a fair one i might add. then this thread turned into a "debate", one you're bent on "winning" and you choose a side and argue it like a rabid dog. oh, i see, this is your expertise.

    there are studies that show that babies through a certain age must have a mother and a certain amount of exposure to a mother to develop correctly - and a man is no replacement for whatever reason.

    There are developmental issues here.

    It's one thing if a child is with one of their natural biological parents, but for a gay couple adopting a baby - there should be some concern. An older child is probably not much concern though.

    That being said, I think having two gay parents is preferable to having no parents at all.

    if true, it would be an issue if folks were taking babies from available moms and forcing two dads on 'em. as to the question of providing parents to orphans, totally irrelevant.

    so you are just arguing for arguments sake?
    wow, you are lame. some people actually have feelings about the issue.

    its funny to me that you have some issue with me because i argued one way, and then you say i have issues. i don't even know you. its just an opinion. you have issues so much you want to continue this silly conversation, i know i play a part in it, but i don't know what you're trying to get at.

    i have no issues with you personally but realize that you're running some kind of game and don't really have an opinion. the devil's advocate, how very original.

    dude, just because i think there are other issues to weigh, doesn't mean i don't have an opinion. that's stupid, and closed-minded, what you accuse me of.

    this is complicated topic, there are multiple issues to consider. welfare of kids being first and foremost. that encompasses the need to be adopted vs. the situation you're putting them in.

    my welfare of the kids point was responded to, i responded back. and lastly, most of this debate involved batman trying to make it something that it wasn't about.

    Fast forward to ------> a little boy, sitting at a big table wearing a party hat, taking a deep breath to blow out the candles on his birthday cake ... and he's alone.

    What did he wish for?

    That's BS

    You're couching your homophobia with some lame ass "save the children" rant. You've been doing it the whole thread.

    another pyschoanalysis, you guys should start a practice. you think there issues to be considered in gays adopting kids=homophobia. stick to your day job

    there is no right to adopt
