As society gradually moves closer towards tolerance towards homosexual couples, the issue of single-sex adoption has been brought to people's attention. I think that there are various issues that pertain to single-sex adoption. Firstly, can the child be brought up the same fashion as he or she would be under the care and guidance of heterosexual parents? Do you feel that a child needs to have clear gender role-models?
In terms of schooling and socialising with other children, I personally think that from my experience through school, it is likely that a child with 'two dads/mums' is likely to be bullied. Do you think the child could become a target for bullying? This then raises the question about whether it is morally right for a child to be raised in this manner. I am not sure how I would handle the news that my child/children are being victimised because of me, as I'm sure that any parent would agree with.
Please try to be as honest as possible here. I'm really looking forward to seeing what people think.
