I was sitting here thinking about how gay men couples could get babies if they could not adopt from an adoption agency. They could have a woman friend carry a baby for them, but I feel like this could create ethical issues. What if her insurance pays for her medical bill during the pregnancy, but it's not even her baby. Is that wrong? Then I realized that maybe they could still get a child (for lack of a better word) but legally they still wouldn't both be able to have the same rights for insurance and everything else because the courts wouldn't recognize both of the men as parents. So the problems that you have to get around just keep coming up. It seems like a lot of emotional situations to go through, some dealing with ethics, just to have a child. I never thought about it before, but even if you don't go through adoption agencies it is still going to be difficult for gay couples to provide for their children, because of legal issues.
Legal issues seem to be the only problem. If someone is willing to give their child to a gay couple to take care of, then the law should not interfere with what the biological parents of a child want. Maybe when a child is given up for adoption, put into a will for care, etc., the parents could specify if they think it would be alright for their child to be in that environment.
