Controversial Issues


            
             Children are precious gifts who deserve to be nurtured and loved. There are thousands of children that are born everyday, and parents and family abandon some of them. However, there are plenty of couples who would love to make these children an addition to their families. Traditionally, a husband and wife adopt children. Today this traditional couple has expanded to include couples of the same sex. Same sex couples are often looked down upon; according to societal views, same sex couples are "morally wrong." The issue should be focused on the best adoptive parents for the child. Sexual orientation should not affect whether or not a person should be a parent because homosexual individuals are able to provide everything that heterosexual couples can provide for a child.
             Studies have suggested that same sex parents are often bad parents. This study refers only to the atmosphere of growing up in a same sex household. What does good parenting really mean? Good parenting is giving the child love: nurturing and providing the child with the necessities that are needed for life such as food, water, clothing, and a safe residence. Good parenting does not include anything about a parent's sexual preferences. Society and some laws base their decisions on the gender of the adoptive couples. Homosexual individuals are able to adopt, but a same sex couple is unable to adopt a child. This idea is ridiculous because most people would assume that two parents are better than one good parent. .
             I believe children in same sex families have the same opportunity to develop as children with heterosexual parents. The fact that parents happen to be homosexual has no adverse effects on the development of a child. Studies have shown that in some instances same sex adoptions increase a child's emotional and financial security. According to a few articles, same sex parenting has an affects on the child's peer relations, self-identity, sexual orientation, and their psychological, social, and moral development.
