The Egoist Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 In Florida? If true, it is good to note that liberty still exists in some parts of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm not sure if I like it or not. What if a kid does not want to be raised by a gay couple? Does a kid have any say in the matter?Sure, most adoptions will take place when the child is a baby, so the kid won't know any difference, but let's say a 12 year old kid is up for adoption....is he just forced to live with two men against his will? That most certainly is not liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never looked at it that way.Still, I think a kid wouldn't mind who their adoptive parents were as long as they could get them away from a life of foster home jumping and dealing with social working bureaucrats. A steady life in a home with people who want to care for you and provide a home for you is better than nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my co workers just adopted and it was a very LONG and drawn out process, if the children are of age to make their own decision it would definitely come out in the process that they did not approve of being adopted by gay parents.
