Anathelia vs. PurpleDove
Adoption and Same-Sex Couples
The issue of adoption for same-sex couples is something that has come to the forefront of society due to the public debate of gay rights. Proponents of this issue say that society is changing and that the traditional family isn't the only acceptable option. With the growing number of single-parent families, it would actually be a good thing for children to have two parents, regardless of their sex. Those that oppose this issue say that the traditional family is something that society should hold onto. They also use the argument that same-sex couples wouldn't naturally be able to have children on their own, so that makes them unfit to raise children together.
Should same-sex couples be allowed to adopt children?
