I keep reading articles about same-sex adoption and it's starting to make me wonder a little bit. I know that I believe in it because I believe that it is what is fair for the parents who are adopting. I am, however, starting to wonder more about the children in these cases. I feel like the children who two moms or two dads could get teased more than other children. I also feel like being teased as a child is natural. I happens to almost every child there is, I was teased as a child. I wonder though if it will bother those children more, because it will hit so much closer to home. It looks like I'll need to look into how the children in orphanages and foster homes are treated, like if children pick on them more. If that is true it doesn't matter either way.
In some ways, I feel like the more advancements we make to give homosexuals more equal rights the better off we will all be. If they could get married and adopt and live normal lives it would be wonderful, and the children living in their lives would have no problems once society finally accepted all of it. There are so many people in the world who are homophobic it is ridiculous, and that does not help the children coming growing up now from not accepting homosexuality. It is okay to be how you want to be and live how you want to live. But will the children in same-sex adoptions find out the hard way?
I do not think this is enough uncertainty for me to oppose same-sex adoption, but it does however make me want to look at some things more closely.
