An adoption shelter is not a long-standing place. Wouldn't anyone want a child to live with a happy, love-warming family than a place that would not let this child adjust at all? The child can be moved around to many homes or even different cities. Being in a home in which they can assure themselves that they will not be picked up in six months or so, puts a child's mind at ease. Gay couples would make sure the child has food, shelter and the education needed to move on in life. The child would be able to go to school just like any other normal kid. .
When it comes to adopting children, people have to go through many steps before having the custody of a child. Adoption agencies have to make sure that they are placing this child in a decent home properly fit to have a child. Although gay marriages are illegal in some states, many couples do live together in their own homes. After a homosexual makes the decision in wanting children, the couple also has to make sure that they have a stable job and home as well. As a result of this, stable income will be coming into the home. This will assure that the child will have his/her basic necessities. Having met the requirements of adoption agencies, homosexual couples should not be denied the right to adopt a child based on their outward appearance. They want to be a happy family of their own.
There are of course certain issues in which a homosexual couple is better off than a normal couple. Take for example divorced parents. Many children who live with a mom and dad do not always get what they need. Perhaps the parents are separated and have shared custody of the child which allows time for both parents to see the child. They are not living in a stable home. Gay couples who are in a stable relationship do not have to go through share custody. A secure home is what this homosexual couple would be able to offer rather than the normal divorced couple.
