My 2 Moms

I really don't see any problems with gay adoption. If 2 people are in a committed relationship and want to start a family, why not? I think maybe adoption is the best way, but if they can afford artificial insemination, go for it. (More on this later). This case isn't really all that different than a hetero divorce with child custody issues involved. They are both parents and both should share custody, just like a hetero relationship. And it seems like, just as in a hetero divorce, one parent doesn't want to share custody with another. Deal with it, the child is at stake here, not just your feelings. But, Red Lady, why is this double jeopardy because a gay couple is involved? It's unclear what you mean by this statement.

A family can and should be defined as a couple living together as a single unit, hetero or homosexual. I know of lots of hetero parents who shouldn't have become parents. If these people can nurture and love a child, no matter if they are the same sex or opposite, then the child wins. Just because two people are born with the ability to make babies doesn't mean they should.

Most homosexuals I know came from heterosexual parents.

I agree with the Red Lady about the artifical insemination, it is playing God. What really suprises me is the lack of opposition from the Christian conservatives. They don't like abortion because it's playing God, so the making of babies artifically isn't playing God? I think lots of couples post-pone child bearing until they are set in careers, then want to get pregnant right away, so they opt for artifical insemination. It's more convenient for them, and that is the wrong way to start a family. Having children isn't necessarily convenient.

What I thought was strange about this article, which leads me to believe the biological mother just doesn't want the other mother to have anything to do with this child, is she claims she's questioning her sexuality. She doesn't think she heterosexual, she just may be asexual. Now that's pretty convenient, isn't it?
