And there is no right for you to stop them from adopting. I know several adopted kids with same sex parents and they are more grounded, well adjusted and "normal" than a majority of kids from straight couples.
WS&C, for all the debate going on here, the only thing that's really happening is a little kid's having a birthday party and his parents are inviting other little kids over for it. It's been happening forever. Going isn't giving your tacit approval to gay adoption or ancient potlatch ceremonies or satanic ritual or anything else. It's just a birthday party. Worrying about social stigma and homosexual marriage and all that is something you can do with other adults. This little boy is going to be far more ****ed up by throwing a birthday party that no one shows up for than anything else. P.S. making a b-day present of assless chaps is very bad taste, in case you were wondering.
One set I've known for 16 years. Their daughter just got accepted to NYU law school. Another couple of boys I know are on their second adoption and are all coming over for dinner on Saturday. They have a 5 year old and are about to adopt a two year old. The five year old is home schooled and just got accepted to St James prep in New York (one of the more prestigious private schools in the city. All of them are bright, outgoing, happy kids and their parents are very open about their relationships and are not ashamed about their circumstances. Oh and they all have tons of friends
thanks for shaing, sounds like success stories, i'm sure they fared alot better being adopted than not. edit: you know that's all you had to say instead of the homophobia attack
sorry about the attack pgabriel. It one of the reasons I've stayed out of this thread. It's just a pet peeve about the misconceptions about gays and kids, whether adopted or biological.
The bottom line should be what is good for the kids....nothing else matters. And back on topic, it would be GOOD for the girl to go to the birthday party.... DD
His 1 responsibility is to his child and he is about installing his values on his child as he wants it is not PUNISHING his kid it is protecting his child from what he feels is a potentially harmful situation Whether you agree with his sentiment or not HE SHOULD PROTECT *HIS* CHILD no matter what you can argue about his views. . that is something different The read i get is that in protecting his child . . IHO . . he will offend these people and he does not want to offend them . . but he does not want to participate in something he feels is morally wrong and may cause some discomfort in HIS household *HIS* responsibility is to *HIS* household 1st, foremost, and always My Advice is simple. . he should do what is in *his* best interest he needs to think it through but at the end. . it is HIS INTEREST HIS CHILDS INTEREST that are paramount Rocket River
