There are no laws that preclude anyone from concieving a child, regardless of the circumstances.

Prohibiting this is a slippery slope and reeks of Communism.

I have to visit those sites, I dont like too, but drudge won't even link to the more fringe right wing stories.

So, are any MM or FF couples willing to drop sexual orientation definitions and live closeted as "sisters" or "pair of uncles" to everyone they meet or does adoption have to be "gay adoption?"

Who's fragile little mind are we trying to protect here? Lesbians aren't sisters by any stretch, a female couple yes, but not sisters.

Gay people have been having and privately adopting children for a long, long time. Nothing new here.

Are hetero couples willing to drop their sexual orientation definitions and live as brother and sister or a pair of cousins to everyone they meet? There is no such thing as a "gay" marriage license, or a "gay" adoption.
I have never met anyone that introduced themselves as "gay" or "straight". We introduce ourselves, our spouses, and children just like everyone else. We don't run around with a badge that says "I'm gay".

You have been told this repeatedly. Why do you think that we all wear our orientation on our sleeve?

Exactly the in your face attitude that cause push back and belief adoption is not about the family you twos want to create, but more focused on the statement "we're gay, look at our kids, nya nya."

One might infer that you confuse sexual orientation with sexual molestation of minors. How very sad for you to jump to such a conclusion.

What about nature Vs nurture?

My children have turned out to be wonderful people. All three are excelling in every way. That is because we stressed the importance of a good education, and being compassionate human beings.
Your children may have, but many don't. If you don't know the donor WELL, you can have no idea what to expect of the children produced. You could have got one that was predestined to be psychopathic in nature, it wouldn't matter how much you nurtured it, it would still happen.
