I’m going to cave in and actually answer a featured question.  Can you believe it?

The featured question isn’t really the right one to begin with.  The first question you need to answer – the question behind the question – is, “How do you feel about the adoption of children by loving, capable parents?”

I think most of us would support it.

There are tens or hundreds of thousands of children out there who desperately need loving, capable parents who will give them the care and support they need to reach their full potential in life.

If you support adoption of children by loving, capable parents, then why would you let untold numbers of orphans go unadopted, stuck in the foster care system, instead of tapping into same-sex couples as a source of great parents?

Is “one mommy and one daddy” the best type of parenting model?  Given the 50% divorce rate of different-sex couples, the patterns of adultery, sexual discrimination, and spousal abuse, I can’t see that being a different-sex couple is necessarily a good qualification for being an adoptive parent.

Tawn and I have talked many times about the possibility of raising children.  Without a doubt, we would be much better parents than untold numbers of jacked-up parents we read about in the papers every day, or parents that teachers like my sister tell me about.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
