Ok, the main thing here is my concern is the idea of "right" being the basis of this. When it comes to adoption, the ONLY concern should be who would be best to raise the children. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS HERE. When children become some sort of accessory that is used to enable a person to have their "rights" or get "life satisfaction" or "purpose" it is so incredibly backwards, words have a hard time describing how self-serving and wrong it is. Children aren't pets one has for gratification, or to "get love". And raising children is a responsibility that needs to be done, for the betterment of everyone here. But, keep on arguing from a "rights" mindset, and children become playthings which are used to meet the longings and whims of adults.

I don't get the point here, infertile straight couples adopt kids for the same reasons u mentioned, why doesn't that apply to them and apply to gay couples?

My criticism is a criticism of a ethics system based on rights, rather than something else. I see parenting as a priviledge and a duty, not a right. What I saids would apply to them also, and anyone else who wants to be parents. Being a parent isn't a right. You also see teenage girls getting pregnant, because they feel they have a right to become a parent, and feel that having a kid would address all the above I mentioned to. Do teenage girls have a right to become parents?

no they don't and they shouldn't. i will never adopt a kid because there is a slight chance it would effect him but I am not a physcologist and people shouldn't use that as an excuse to ban gay adoptions. I mean if they really care why are widowed women allowed to raise their childern on their own?
and parenting is a duty , I agree but most parents fail their duty , why they weren't denied the right to have kids?
