People may ask them self, is it acceptable for a homosexual marriage to adopt children? Would children be affected mentally being adopted by a homosexual marriage? Does it make the child happy? Some people say it’s better for a child to be in a gay marriage home than in foster care homes. In the other hand, other people say that it’ll affect children mentally and will be raised in the wrong way. In an online blog, Alpen Gideon describes the discussions people have over homosexual marriages adopting children. One of the discussions is that the child could become gay for being raised by a homosexual marriage. Parents are the role models that the children look up. I do not agree that kids being raised by two of the same couples will turn out to be gay. I’m not saying that every child will become gay, but they will be affected someway. In the other hand, the children do have a disadvantage. Kids that have a mother and a father are going notice the difference. That doesn’t mean that the children are worthless, although they might be treated differently. Children are picked on when other children know that they are being by the same sex marriage. This is not good because it will cause the children confusion.

He had no one to teach him how to fix things, how to take charge, and how ... ... middle of paper ... ...t every child has the opportunity to be adopted by either same sex or different sex marriage. I do believe that every child should be happy and be with parents that care for them. Works Cited Gideon, Alper. “Gay Adoption Statistics.” The Gay Law Report. Gideon, Alper, 12 Mar. 2012.
