Objecting To Gay Couples Adopt Children

There is a controversial subject about gay couples adopting children. After thinking over and over again, I believe children will grow better with mother and father role models and I oppose gay adoption.

For one thing, from the perspective of family, gay couples are difficult to give children a complete family. First of all, the law just allows gay to adopt children only in the name of the individual, which equivalent to let children in single-parent families, children can’t have the whole love from their fathers and mothers. Then, in the family, the parents set an example to their children. However, if children grow up in the homosexual families, children will be fuzzy to their gender, have conflicts between sex and gender. Furthermore, gay couples can’t be careful to care the children who have the opposite sex. After all, people who have same sex know each other more easily.

What is more, from the degree of social public, gay couples can’t give children a good growing environment. Though gay couples may have true love, most countries discriminate against gay couples. If gay people stand in the perspective of public review published their own identity, and become couples. We may respect their courage. But, if this factor added to adopt children, people will have cold and sardonic eyes on children. Children will be rejected by people and have to bear endless solitude,

prejudice and discrimination. In this growing environment, children can’t fit into society and they will have psychological disorder. On the contrary, ordinary couples can at least give children a normal growing environment.

Lastly, from the point of children’s education, gay couples will face more difficulties on children’s education than ordinary couples. About physical education, every parent must give guidance to their children during the period of gender identity. Because of the model of “two mothers” or “two fathers”, their children are difficult to form the concept of their gender. In the future, they can’t rationally distinguish whether the homosexuality is evil or not. About school education, because of the children’s special family background, they will face exclusion and bullying from their classmates. This is harm to their mental development. In school, they may become “problem students”. However, ordinary couples can avoid these problems.

In order to give children a good physical and mental development, we should take everything into consideration. In gay couples’ family, children will face the stress of family, social public and school. So, about this controversial subject, I firmly insist gay couples aren’t fit to adopt children.
