And it's typical christer behavior. Hatred and pushiness. There are a few exceptions around, but not many on CED.

Would you hate your grandchildren if they were gay?
What if your son/s is/are gay and living a miserable life because their father would hate them for being gay?

Or is it all about you?
For someone who is so well-adjusted you sure have a lot of hate
on your mind.

Who is sky-daddy? Have you missed your meds today?

Some of the so called "Christians" on this board care more about actively preserving their myopic and hateful worldview than about children. They are themselves the very definition of evil.

Again with the hate and evil. You must be having a bad hair day. Do you hate everyone who disagrees with you?

It is not natural to be gay. The human race would extinct. Gay and lesbians shouldnt be allowed to adopt. That's morally wrong.

Just imagine if the child walks into their room and found the 2 men doing it. OMG that would mentally scar that child for life.

A foster home is a bizillion times better for a child. Just imagine if 2 sick man adopt a boy, and they touch his private parts when the child is young and vulnerable. There is no way a social service worker would find out about the abuse.

"Bad hair day?"

Sweetie pie, if you're that concerned with my hair, may I suggest you so some serious introspection?


I'm sorry your opinions on the subject are vile and abhorrent to thinking people, but that's just the way it is. An abomination to rational thought and discussion. I don't know if you and your compatriots CHOSE to have that thought process or if its inbred, but it's your CHOICE not to do anything to better yourself.

I have quite a few friends involved in foster care. one was raped by her foster father at 15. case was dropped b/c she recanted, but that's not to say it didn't happened (it did, she was scared to proceed and still, 12 years later, regrets not going forward). one boy I knew had been bounced around a dozen foster homes, from Boston to Harvard Ma (check a map, these areas are NOT close to each other at all) by the time he was 14. another girl I knew lost her fairly stable foster home after her foster parents went through a very nasty divorce and ended up in a group home for girls that made the group home from "White Oleander" look like fun time at Disney World (drug use. check. cutting. check. molestation. double check).

obviously, not all foster kids endure this, but in the end foster care is NOT a home. even the children lucky enough to have foster parents (not all of them, esp. when it comes to kids w/ emotional and physical issues. these kids often end up in group homes until they age out) know deep down that it is not home. how can you sit behind a screen and actually spout off nonsense that it is better for a child to possibly spend 18 years of his or her life w/o anything resemble a family?

Individuals who were in foster care experience higher rates of physical and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.[19] In a study of adults who were in foster care in Oregon and Washington state, they were found to have double the incidence of depression, 20% as compared to 10% and were found to have a higher rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than combat veterans with 25% of those studied having PTSD. Children in foster care have a higher probability of having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and deficits in executive functioning, anxiety as well other developmental problems.[20][21][22][23] These children experience higher degrees of incarceration, poverty, homelessness, and suicide. Recent studies in the U.S., suggests that, foster care placements are more detrimental to children than remaining in a troubled home.[24][25][26]

and these kids sure had it good in foster care, huh?

In memory of Children protected to DEATH by CPS.

unless you're deeply homophobic, you can't honesty think such a life is better for child versus living w/ a person/couple who genuinely want to adopt a child, regardless of their sexual orientation, can you?

ETA: another link focusing on children who've been abused and killed while in foster care.

http://www.caica.org/index.htm

given the shear number of kids being murdered by foster parents and in group homes (never mind abused, neglected, and otherwise traumatized), how can you possibly think such a condition is better than being in a caring, loving home w/ a couple who care for them, regardless of the sexuality of the parents?

Are you insane? Now you are equating gays with pedophilia! The vast majority of pedophiles according to FBI stats are straight men.
By the way Florida was the last state left in the nation to ban gay adoptions even though a gay couple could be foster parents! How bizarre was this law?

So, when you disagree, you must lash out with insults. I'm glad you are so rational.

You are the one resorting to name calling. Bet you wouldn't be so insulting face to face.

buddy, put aside your hurt feeling and feel free to explain, after reading my post, how foster care is preferable to being adopted by a gay couple. are the Dontel Jeffers of the world really better off in foster care vs being potentially adopted by a gay couple?

I'll wait... (or is spewing out nonsense and hatred easier for you?)
