for everyone

With so many children needing GOOD parents, why are LGBT people being denied the right to adopt children? I just dont understand this--I cannot.

Please support the ALCU in its efforts to give LGBT people full equality--as any other parent has by default.

also why are LGBT people unable to adopt children when the so-called "good" parents are abusing and/or killing their own children?!?!? (Read my post "My Broken Heart")

I myself was adopted by the "right" so called parents. I was exposed to much abuse that I do not wish to get into here and I hope all understand that - but the sad simple truth is that no one knows what is anyone's heart when it comes to adoption. It should NOT be any reflection to someone's sexual preference, race, religious background, or any such. It should be on the fact that ALL involved want a child for the right reason.
But sadly at times it is a crap shoot. I know that sounds harsh, but it is true. Some people enter into adoption for some odd reasons, and they expect this perfect infant/child and when they don't get what they expect they seem to forget about that promise that being a parent is thrue the good and bad.
And one last thing I am not saying what has happened to me is what always happens - there is abuse in many homes in this country from ALL types of people.
I hope I have not offended anyone with this post.
