Best Answer

Child abuse only exists when a child is being harmed. As long as the gay couple who wishes to adopt treats their child with love and care and respect, that child is not being abused.

What are opponents view of gay and lesbian adoption?

Who would the "Opponents" be, those who don't believe in "adoption" as a whole? or those who only don't support "gay and lesbian" adoption? I think that children should be kept with their families only using adoption as a very last alternative. If parenting cannot and should not be done, then legal guardianship should be the next step. However, there are many foster children who need homes, and I think gay and lesbian's should be allowed to open their homes to foster children and youth. I do not believe adoption is a way to "build families" adoption should be about providing security to a child who needs it. Some of my other friends in the adoptee community feel that a child deserves a mother and a father, since that's what they lost and I can understand the meaning behind that. If a child is born to those, the child should have them if looking into adoption for the best interests of the child. However, I haven't come to that whole conclusion yet, because I feel like the child should remain with them. That giving them a second set of mother and father isn't the same as their natural parents. Some children cannot go back to their natural parents due to abuse and neglect at which point the family is broken. I think if a gay / lesbian family has a home to offer in this instance, then by all means allow them to open their doors. I don't support newborn / infant domestic adoptions or international adoptions for any parents so in my opinion for that, gay / lesbians shouldn't be allowed to adopt then either. Not because of their sexual preference but because the adoptions are so unethical and anti-adoptee.
