I believe they should have the same rights, however I believe a mother and father family provides the best base for a child

 @9JCN7VTanswered…2mos2MO

No, but, I do believe that lesbian couples have better chance of raising kids under a female and male role

 @9J6SMBCSinn Féinanswered…2mos2MO

I don’t see saying no as fair as there is too many babies in orphanages yet I think it’s is very wrong for a child to grow up with same sex parents

 @9G7FZP6answered…6mos6MO

Neither, the emphasise should be what is in the best interest of the child not the sexual orientation of parents. I would probably say though in most instances a father and mother would be in their best interest.

 @9FF3CYCRepublican Sinn Féinanswered…6mos6MO

If the straight couple have tried for a baby and failed countless times they should have priority over 2 who cannot conceive a child.

 @9F2CKNYanswered…7mos7MO

I think the can adopt once every couple who biologically can create life trough the act of sex have been offered the opportunity first, a man and a man or woman and woman can not naturally produce a baby so the man and woman couples who can naturally produce but are having difficulty's should be offered.

 @9BJNKFBanswered…11mos11MO

Gays are more likely to be affiliated with narcissism so this creates higher chance of exploitation of the system and higher sexual deviance. There should be more checks before and after to show mental stability and a safe home environment. Non gay couples should be prioritised but kids homes are rife in sexual abuse and lack nurturing guidance so its better to have the option there than not

 @98X3W2Qanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples

 @99V72GYanswered…1yr1Y

Should the rights of the ends government ruled and could leave more gays in new Zealand HAMILTON EAST and power with Ireland grounds graves

 @98LNH74answered…1yr1Y

I truly believe that having 2 fathers cannot be healthy for a child’s growth. A mother’s love, intuition, and connection to a child is a different case and those I would be somewhat inclined to be against two males raising a child.

I am though totally open to changing that view.

Yes but as long as it doesn’t force religious institutions to change their ethos.

 @95P62SNanswered…2yrs2Y

If the child doesn’t mind not having a mum or a dad and having both mum or dad

 @8PNXRFQanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples and the mother and father family structure is best for the child.

 @98QMMVYanswered…1yr1Y

Yes they should . Have the same right to adopt but I think important to have the role model of missing gender from the parents freind so they have. A grasp of what a mum and dad is

 @92RG4SLIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

Ideally I believe a child should have access to both a father and a mother. However, where this is not possible, gay couples should be able to adopt children.

 @8PNXKGJanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but i believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child.

 @8FKG387answered…3yrs3Y

I believe they must be chosen by a mother or the child and if they want the couple then its fine

 @8YP37XZFine Gaelanswered…2yrs2Y

although i think its important to have a mum and a dad gay people should still be able to adopt aslong as they provide the needs required its nice also so everyone can learn about eachother family and how its not always man and woman i do feel like the child that is adopted by a gay couple dont have the same developmet

 @8Y5WTXGanswered…2yrs2Y

 @8XSVGX7Social Democratsanswered…2yrs2Y

No, and I don't believe adoption should be legal for anyone given the exploitation it's based upon both domestically and internationally

 @8TNRMMNanswered…3yrs3Y

No-one has "adoption rights"; adoption is about what's best for the child not the adopter.

 @8RR3B8NRenua Irelandanswered…3yrs3Y

If there is an option between sending a child to a straight couple or a gay couple providing that there is no mental issues with either of the straight couple it should always be the straight couples child as you need both a father and a mother figure in their life

 @8RQ5ZYPanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, gay couples having children should be normalised and encouraged, if they have the same capabilities with children as heterosexual couples

 @8SW57DKanswered…3yrs3Y

I would give heterosexual couples priority, but not completely exclude gay couples, especially if they are related to the child

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Does the need for more adoptive families in many parts of the world affect your perspective on who should be able to adopt?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Thinking about the idea of 'traditional family values,' how do you see these concepts adapting as society changes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If a child can be provided a stable, loving environment, what significance, if any, do you believe the sexual orientation of the adoptive parents has?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How do you think your own upbringing would influence your view on whether gay couples should have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What personal qualities do you think are most important for adoptive parents to have, and are these related to sexual orientation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How do you think historical attitudes toward LGBT individuals might impact their rights to adopt today and how has this changed over time?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Can you think of any reasons why a gay couple might be more or less suited to adoption than a straight couple?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Reflect on the role a parent's gender plays in parenting; does it matter if a child has two moms, two dads, or one of each?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If the ultimate goal is to provide a loving home for a child, how do you think the sexual orientation of the parents factors into this?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How might the experience of a child raised by gay parents differ from one raised by straight parents, if at all?

 @8RW9BNQanswered…3yrs3Y

The rights of the child are what matter and should be the focus of any debate on ‘adoption rights’
