I know a lot of people slam on GLBT couples adopting children but I think they are wrong and shortsighted for doing so.
Some of the worst parents can be straight parents.
I know a gay couple who adopted a little boy (mother was on crack and other drugs, suffered from blackouts and neglected the boy) and I can say with all certainty that this little boy is in one of the best homes a loving couple can provide. I have never seen someone demonstrate so much love for a child as these two men. My significant other and I were invited to this little boy's first birthday and you could see the love in this home.
All you had to do was look into that boy's eyes and know he was LOVED by his gay parents!
Many people say negative things about gay couples because they are ignorant to what goes on in a gay home. If these people knew how much scrutiny gay couples are under when they adopt children, and agencies do allow gay adoptions, they would know that a child couldn't be in more capable hands. I would much rather see a child in this typ2000e of home environment where they are loved and cared for than in a home where one or both of the parents has/have a drinking and/or drug problem.
Had that gay couple not adopted the little boy, he would have been exposed to all sorts of drugs and possibly have been exposed to something a child should never be exposed to such as child molestation by one of the biological mother's partners(did I forget to mention she also was promiscuous?).
I am tired of hearing people slam on GLBT couples for wanting to provide children with happy, and yes, healthy homes.
For all those GLBT couples that have adopted children and are doing a good job of raising them, keep up the good work!
Through all the negative garbage, there are some people who applaud you for all of your hard work-and it is hard work! -

You are absolutely right. The idiots out there think that the child will grow up having something wrong with them. I'd rather have a gay couple adopt a child than have its crackhead mother or father raise them. God forbid a gay parent home could be loving. Better yet, how about these holier than thou idiots mind their own damn business. Worry about what goes on in your own house instead of someone else's.
One poster said that Candis and her hubby's daughter would be screwed up. Typical moron.
Good luck to her entire family!
The hardest thing to do is to let go of somebody you really care about. PCD
