Or "to be loved" or "to be cared for" or "to have someone I can rely on".

I doubt when you go to a care home and ask a child they have a checklist of requirements, wants and needs.

In theory they are, a care home isn't exactly a proper home, just a glorified hotel with long stays really - no freedom.

nobody said they had a checklist what i said is based what i think the majority of the kids would say and those 3 u said sammeth. i agree but its making me out to be a gay hater when im not i just dont think gay adoption is fair tis all

I don't think you're a gay hater, you have a valid view I'm just the opposition. I'm appreciative that we're in a country that sees it my way :P!

At least you're honest, it's not gay hating, it's just a belief and you do come out with some valid points, some children will say they want a mum AND dad. It's just one of those situations where it probably does eventually depend on the child, but because theya re so young they won't really be able to answer for themselves - would they know what's happening and would they be "Okay" with it.

Technically speaking, it should be fine for them to adopt. Socially though, it may cause hiccups.

i've actually tried to be careful in this form not to come across as sexest, by only saying 2 fathers and forgetting about the mothers. mb. The kid at my school who left and is now home schooled beacuse he got bullied about having two parents of the same sex, had two mothers, so i guess it applies for both men and women.

i havnt really got much more to say without repeating myself and making me look stupid to above i also went to school with someone who had '2 mums' his BIRTH mother turned lesbian and he had a step mum via his mum he didnt neccasarily get bullied but people used to say so'n'sos mums a beefy lesbian jus for a laugh
