Brainstorming Essay 3.1

Gay & Lesbian Adoption

I came across the following quote this morning:

UPPORTS EQUALITY GOAL: SAME SEX PARENTING RIGHTS

Obama supports Same Sex Adoption 

Barack Obama Quotes on Same Sex Adoption: "I believe there are too many children who need loving parents to deny one group of people adoption rights. A child will benefit from a healthy, loving home, whether the parents are gay or not." [from the Human Rights Campaign's 2008 Presidential questionnaire]

I'm all for LGBT rights but I definitely see why people would be against gay homosexuals adopting children. In some ways, I agree with the cons because the mentality of the child is at "stake"but then again, the adoption process is so complicated that I feel like anyone who would be willing to go through it, should  be considered to do so.
