 Pros And Cons
Pros:
The child gets the opportunity to get the
benefits from new parents both in health and
financial support. Since there are many
children that are off for adoption, gay parents
are able to pour all their love for their child
through tangible and intangible things.
Adoptive parents are increasing and are able to
lessen the children staying in welfare
communities. It is also considered as the best
alternative for the foster-care system that
leaves child wanting to have the same family
or attention given by their foster parents while
temporarily staying with them.
Cons:
The couple may raise confused children
especially when they also start their own
family. they will not be aware on how
opposite sexes are living with each other. It
may have a different psychological and
emotional impact on the life of the child.
Children do not grow in an environment not
having well-balanced adults. There are
people saying that children should have role
models from both sexes.
There is no specific reason that shouldn't allow homosexual people, specifically, to
start and raise a family. Raising children and starting a family is something that most
people look forward to in life. Who has the right to take that privilege away from
someone? That's not okay. If you take away the right to raise children from an entire
group of people and name all of them incapable, that is prejudice, discrimination, and
has no place in our democratic society. Also, I hear the argument, "If gay parents
raise kids, won't their kids also end up gay?" That argument makes no sense. With
that logic, all straight parents raised straight kids, and if that were true, nobody
would even be discussing this right now.
