It could cause some of the same problems as single parenting. That's my concern.
Adoption is different from having children biologically, since it's already restricted by states.
What problem would it cause? I grew up in a single household and I have no problems I know tons of people that grew up in a single households and have no problems. I know people who grew up with both parents and have done stints in jail. What's your point?

none of what you posted has any scientific backing. Just because a child is from a single parent home does not mean they are going to have problems and just because a child has both parents does not mean they are going to be perfect and have the best upbringing. Show me scientific data done by universities,psychologists,sociologists, and cultural anthropologists that states otherwise

That's from #1 on the list.
Single parents are a hell of a lot different then gay couples parenting. In single parent households there is often more financial stress not to mention the stress of being the sole parent --- in other words, no hope for a 'hand off'. Plus most single parents date which brings further complications.
Homosexual couples who adopt are - like hetero couples that adopt - financialy secure and emotional stable. In other words - no dating drama going on.
I hate to break it to you, but really comparing single moms to married homosexual couples is wrong.

I understand, but there is a legitimate concern that lacking a parent of either sex may be a factor as well.
It's not all about finances.
I should add that my mother was financially stable as a single parent, but I still would have given anything to have had a father. I missed out on a lot.

ok? big deal a child growing up with both mommy and daddy whom scream at each other every day, mommy is never there, and daddy has a drinking probably will be fracked up too. It doesn't matter if kid is raised by two chicks, one guy, heterosexual couple or a whole damn village it has more to do with the environment i.e how they are being treated, are they having their basic needs met etc. that will determine that childs future.
edit: by the way the article you posted states that it is environment and how the kid is raised that causes the problems

What would Wanda think if someone wished for her "kiddies" to fail?
That kind of thinking only takes place at liberal type banquets like the one she told her "joke" at. Only liberals think of things like that and she is not only homo but also very liberal.
