Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

A child musts, in terms of being raised, need a Father and a Mother, it creates a conflict in their behavioural upbringing if they are exposed to two fathers or mothers, social hierarchy and family dynamics are effected and the LGBT community has gained infamy in exposing children to Adult content and indoctrinating transgender idealogues within said children before mental maturity can take a hold, destroying the sanctity of their youth.

I believe it is the natural order to have a Mother and a Father. Same sex couples cannot naturally produce children together. The roles of females and males are different but equally as important.

A child needs a masculine and feminine parent, gay couples wouldn’t work. Also they are insane, introducing their 3 year old to pronouns and changing their gender, would you get a 3 year old get a tattoo?, no obviously not, don’t let them get their willy chopped off.

the ony thing that matters when it comes to a child growing up is love,support and saftey any sexuality can provide that

Even with background checks, critics argue that children benefit from having both a mother and a father, providing distinct male and female role models for healthy development.

If a couple adopt a child their lifestyle will rub off on the child making them more of a chance of becoming gay or trans or at best very confused. A child needs a father and a mother.

Logically and scientifically only a man and woman together can reproduce. Anything else is illogical and not possible.

Children raised under a homosexual couple will be raised without either a mother or father figure, leading to poorly developed skills in different areas of life.

The most prominent factor that applies to child development is love, care and safety. The issue resides in the fact that majority of development studies are in the past and dont have mixed gendered parents as a sample due to the limited number of available couples, mostly down to the legal parameters around LGBT couples. To think that the identification or the sexual orientation of a parent has no influence or regard to their ability to raise a child. As long as the couple can pass all the checks a traditional can, then they should have every right to raise a child.

A mother and Farther relationship with children works best. I don’t now have anything against gay people but a mother and father each have a different unique part they play in a raising of a child. I prefer the traditional idea of having a tougher father who’s outdoors compared to my mum. I know I would prefer a mother and father to have raised me

Father and mother figures are the most important aspects of a child’s early life. This should not be compromised.

I am not for same-sex adoption. There are high rates of abuse, especially sexually in these situations and I believe the mother-father family structure is best for the child’s development and our culture.

Gay couples shouldn't have priority over straight couples, but they should still be allowed to adopt children

Research has shown that children benefit from having both a mother and father in the household. It is irresponsible and borderline child neglect to intentionally deprive them of this.

It just doesnt sit right with me. Sexuality is different from nuturing children in mainstream society. Old fashioned? But not wrong

There is no reason why two women or two men can’t raise and love a child in the same way a straight man and woman could. As long as the child is loved and treated like their own I don’t see an issue with having two parents of the same sex?

All adoptive parents should prove they are fit to take care of a child no matter if theyre straight or gay.

Everybody should have to pass a certain amount of background checks to adopt a child. It is highly imperative that all children are adopted into a home that is guaranteed to be beneficial to them.

I don't care about a child's parents gender/sexual orientation as long as the child is cared for appropriately and is being taught good morals that will benefit society.

i guess i agree if that homosexual couple has good background checks they have every right to adopt a child as their own , however i do believe on psychological factors on sexes can impact the child
but i think it wouldn’t benefit the child’s life but lgbt couples have the right and option to adopt

the fact is within a child they must have a father figure from an actual male and a mother figure from an acctual female to develop and become a meember of socciety that funtions properly and not to have any issues

LGBTQ parents are not natural and the child does not deserve to be bullied or go through such trauma. It’s weird

I disagree, i think LGBT couples should not have adoption rights as it could put the child’s childhood in danger

I don’t agree children deserve a mother and a family and lgbtq couples will be stripping them away of this

The probability and occurrence on adopted child molestation is much higher in homosexual couples. In addition, Domestic violence is much higher in homosexual lesbain couples, therefore the child may be more in danger of physical domestic assault. Lastly, the child may now grow up with the appropriate psychological needs fulfilled, or a twisted worldview if raised by homosexuals.

It has been shown in many studies that a stable mother and father is essential for a child. The Bible states that righteousness upholds a nation.

Unless due to uncontrollable circumstances children should be raised by both a mother and a father. This is how nature intended the human race to raise their children. Same sex couples lack the stability that a healthy family unit made up of the opposite sex have. Children that have same sex parents are at a disadvantage and are prone to bullying and possible sexual exploitation.

A same-sex couple often confuses a child when they begin interacting with others, in the terms of family and relationships, perhaps even tradition or society. This could also lead to them being seen as abnormal or pushed away from certain groups or sub-cultures within education or future work spaces, this can significantly impact views on others and mental health.

Males can't brest feed or relate to physical challenges female children face when they are developing.

LGBT couples should only adopt if they pass the same background checks as straight couples doesn’t make sense, because all couples already have to pass the same checks

It's not about background checks, children require a maternal and paternal figure in their lives, especially in early development, to fully mature properly.

Children shouldnt be put in danger of being in contact with the animals of the LGBTQIA+++ whatever group. All lbtg whatever's should be deported or killed and banned from being near children.

Roman Catholicism is simply true and right, the world is that way. Subsequently the performance of homosexuality is a sin, and cannot make a good family. If you were to use an example of a homosexual couple which did appear to be a good family, my response would be Matthew 7:15.

No, there is absolutely no way that a child should ever have to experience the consequences of having to be raised by 2 dads or 2 mums, furthermore it is not normal for a person to be in the lgbtq community and therefore they should not adopt children, it is immoral and disgusting for them unhumans to adopt

Children raised under a homosexual couple will be raised without either a mother or father figure, leading to poorly developed skills in different areas of life. also the LGBT nation is a disaster for the recent years

A child of our glorious nation should be set up with the best options to enhance their capabilities in the future. Having 2 parents of the same sex would hinder the child's progress potentially brainwashing them into homosexuality or maybe even as far as transgender. Any of these is ethically wrong for any child young or old to be forced into a situation like this. The children of out nation who unfortunately have lost their parents shouldnt be punished further will exposition to enemies of the state. Our nation stands tall and we should be firm on these issues affecting the children of out nation.

Kids adopted by lgbt people lack a father or mother. This will lead to them being scared to ask sexual questions

Two dads or two moms cannot provide the same level of care or same styles of nurturing and love a child gets from a mother/father upbringing. While many on a superficial level will say "yes they can" are referring to a feeling of love or the idea of raising and providing for a child but not the deeper level of nurture that children receive when they have one father and one mother. There are qualities that are taken from men and some taken from women and when that happens a child is well rounded, understands roles in society and life, and learns what to look for in a mate one day…  Read more also. If they are deceived by the idea that two moms or two dads gives them all of the emotional needs they will get, they will have a warped view of what to look for in society and in a future mate also. We can also say, to be fair, two women cannot reproduce and neither can two men. There is a reason it takes one of each to actually make a new child.

Children are often happier in same-sex households because the relationships tend to be healthier. Why should we take this away from them?

a proper family needs the loving support and care from the mother and the money, rules and protection from the father and gay couple cant produce both.

LGBT is not identified by this countrys law they should not exist because this is a country where everyone is seen as equal and not better than this or that person so you dont get special rights and it should be men and woman who fornicate and not women on women and men on men action

No a child deserves to have a healthy home life and it is impossible for a child to have a good home life without a mother and a father

As long as same sex couples and straight couples go through the same checks and there's no discrimination against neither of them, same sex couples shoule be able to adopt a child.

Same-sex/LGBTQ Couples are seven times more likely to adopt and foster children than differently gendered couples Which was increases children’s chance of adoption. Indeed 25% of all UK adaptions last year were to lgbtq couples. Office of National statistics

The right home is not automatically one man and one woman for s child. Should ve about the person applying and not their gender

if a homosexual couple are living in an environment that is unsafe for the raising of children then they should be denied the right to adopt.

Straight couples divorce, get convicted of child abuse etc etc, It is not a cast iron guarantee of a happy family. they ability to provide a safe nurturing environment is more inportant.

"The majority of the 2.9 million lone-parent families in 2022 were headed by a lone mother (2.5 million, 84%), with lone fathers now accounting for 16% (457,000) of lone-parent families."
Which shows that the fathers are less likely to take on the majority of care and responsibility regardless of if we want them to be part of the family unit.
Same sex families are a very small minority and should not be so savagely scrutinized purely on the basis that all parents should consist of a mother (female) and father (male). "Same-sex cohabiting couple families account for 0.6% and civil-partner couple families (both same sex and opposite sex) account for a further 0.6% of all families in 2022."

It’s important that when being adopted, children are ensured they are being taken into a safe home where they can be raised well.

Children are known to suffer without a mother or without a father figure. Having LGBT parents would continue this. They need both a mother and father figure in their lives.

Having a mother/father figure in life is important, and I believe that children should have a mother and a father figure

Why wouldn't they be having the same background checks ? Shouldn't everyone be subject to the same checks.

Children function best with both a mother and a father. Restricting adoption for gay couples is not about them being gay, necessarily. I'd say the same for single parents trying to adopt.

They are safe and will give the child a good home as good as a straight couple, possibly even more open home

A child requires nurturing from both genders. I believe each gender has it's position in a child's life where although not impossible, it's very unusual for one sex to hold the qualities of being a parent than that of two.

E.g. A father speaking to his daughter about her period - this is something that if possible should be handled by the mother. This is not for the parent but for the child to feel safe and understood in a vulnerable time.

It is scientifically proven a child has the happiest and most for filled life with a mother and father figure.

they will raise the child in an inproper way, and they will grow up thinking they too may be lgbtq because their parents are influencing them and it is not the way and living thing on earth is raised

No, they would need more extensive background checks to see how they would influence the child maybe even force them to be lgbtq

Children developmentally need a mother and a father, and so children should be placed with the best possible family configuration. Two women may be wonderful parents, but neither of them can be a father (and vice versa).

Children should only ordinarily be placed in the care of couples who are Sacramentally married in the Catholic Church, homosexual relationships are a perversion and Children deserve a mother and a father, not to be subjected to a perverse relationship.

Iv never heard as much rubbish in all my life (LGBT) What a load of rubbish !!
You're a man or a woman.End of !

Deprive a child of a mother or father so that the parents can live out their selfish desires has harsh consequences for the child and will shape their whole life. Also, the sexual abuse rates are much higher among the LGBTQ community. Kids need a mom and a dad.

No it shouldn't gay couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt
I cant give a percentage but a majority of child rapes are commited by gay people or couples

I dont care , they're gay and that is disgusting and wrong. So that environment is negative for the child as they wont be getting the attention or resources that a NORMAL couple will give them

IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE EVERYONE IS HUMAN SO THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN THE SAME, BAD OR GOOD.

A same-sex couple can never provide a child with both a mother and a father. The evidence is clear that children need both a male and a female parent.

It is morally wrong for a kid to be adopted by a gay couple, they are subject to bullying and harmful concepts from an early age that would differ who they become rather than if they had been adopted by a mother and a father.

What if they have no form of identification, making it impossible to pinpoint the county/ region they're from. this means we have no past record of them, so no background check can be ran

Children where possible should be raised in a home with a mother and a father. Men and women are different and it requires both to raise a child.

Same-sex couples should not automatically be allowed to adopt because raising a child requires a traditional mother-father structure

The adoption of a child by gay parents deprives the child the right of a household with a mother and father, both of which are necessary for the child’s growth and development as a character.

No, same sex couples can not offer the same well rounded family set up that straight couples can offer. For example a child has the right to have a mother and a farther figure from birth, especially those who have been abused by their birth parents and are up for adoption and for multiple reasons.

A child's opinions shouldn't be stretched to one side, and should be offered a well rounded view of the world. It is not natural for same sex couples to have children, and their is a biological reason for this! Adoption is not the solution and isn't widely available for everyone, even straight couple with particular struggles in life. Adoption should be carefully though out with the child's best intentions, giving them a future with less chance of confusion over sequality and bullying due to this, especially at a young age.

Christian heritage should be respected in this country, ideas on the nuclear family should be sustained to not warp the western world any more.

All people who believe they are LGBT whatever should be banned from having their own children or adoption to stop the spread of the disease. Children should hot be brought up in an abnormal environment that could damage their mental opinions. LGBT whatever rights should be revoked in this country as well to let them see what people actually think of them instead of being protected by the communist labour government.

Homosexuals are statistically far more likely to commit sexual crimes against children. Also, children need both a father and a mother present in order to have the optimal upbringing. This is also supported by crime statistics, as offenders who grew up with one or none of their biological parents are more likely to be convicted.

Gay adoption will cause unintentional unnecessary phycological harm to the child as they need both a mother and father figure

Although that is a good point, and I am not doubting a gay couples ability to run a family. I disagree with that sentiment. Mainly because, the traditional Mother and Father structure is of paramount importance to the growth and learning of a child. I am not saying that LGB couples couldn't run a family; I am saying that it would be better for the child if they didn't.

Children need both a mother and a father, two people of the same sex is not helpful for the child's development, for example two men being parents to a girl have no concept of what it feels like to have issues only girls have, for eg periods

As long as they would be competent and loving parents, noone should stop them purely because of their sexual orientation - I'd rather a child has good LGBT parents, than bad straight parents.

While it's true that traditionally the concept of parenting has been tied to a man and a woman, it doesn't mean that this is the only successful parenting model. For example, single parents, regardless of their gender, have successfully raised children, demonstrating that a well-rounded upbringing is not strictly tied to the gender of the parents. Furthermore, there are various skills and characteristics that make a good parent, like love, patience, understanding, and the ability to provide a stable environment. These qualities are not exclusively tied to one gender.

I believe that children brought up with LGBT parents might have that pushed on them more, and they may also suffer in their social life at school because of this.

It doesn't matter whether they are criminals or not. The point is it's still harmful to the child's upbringing.

Father and mother figures are the most important aspects of a child’s early life. This should not be compromised.

Adoptions should be allowed for heterosexual parents who cannot conceive or parents who want to foster children who have been abandoned.

A child comes from a woman and a man, therefore only a female-male pair should be able to adopt one as their own. I'm not against same-sex relationships but posing as a straight couple is ridiculous.

Any person who expresses any form of LGBTQ qualities in public should be deported/ sent to a British gulag
