It's funny, isn't it? Children raised by gay parents probably won't have any shortage of love, but they certainly will have a hard time going through school because of their parents' sexuality. Is that a good enough reason to prevent them from adopting?
I can actually give an example in this case. My parents are good friends with a gay couple (men) who have a son. This boy is the biological son of one of them, and was carried by a surrogate mother who was inseminated with the old turkey baster method.
Now, both of these men are wealthy and very loving. They have a full-time nanny to assist them and the child will have a very comfortable life in financial terms. Everything will be provided for him and I am sure that he will be given a lot of love.
But when the poor tyke was three days old my parents saw his fathers taking him to the supermarket, and they stood in the freezer section for a very long time. The moral of the story: love is one thing, maternal instincts or plain old common sense go a long way.
