Imagine that you are in the play ground of a park; you meet a lovely couple who bring their children there to play like any normal family. The only difference of this “family” is that both the parents are in the same sexuality. In other words, they are homosexual couple with their adopted children. Well, what would you think? In my opinion, I think it is totally OK. Actually, in the modern society, which emphasizes human nature rights and freedom, nuclear family with married father and mother is no longer the only acceptable alternative. Homosexual rights have been widely discussed on the diverse aspects in many countries. Homosexual adopting is one of the most controversial issues. In my opinion, I agree the homosexual couples adopting children for that they are nothing more than normal couples like everyone other couples who pursue secular happiness and seek for forming a family with whom they loved.
First of all, no evidences or researches show that homosexual people are unsuitable for parentage. As a matter of fact, good parenting is not influenced by sexual orientation. Rather, it is influenced most profoundly by parents’ abilities to create environment of loving and nurturing home, which abilities are nothing to do with sexual orientation. Let me clarify, Yes, some homosexual adopting do make problems, but we should take it as single cases instead of evidences. Actually, not only homosexual but heterosexual adopting has possibilities to have problems. As a result, I agree that adopting system should be well-examined but not from the aspect of sexual orientation. We should agree that homosexual couples do get capabilities to raise a child.
Some people might worry a diverse sexual orientation would influence children’s identification toward relationships. Yes, it is a reasonable concerning. However, in fact, children who are raised by heterosexual family still have possibilities to be homosexual tendency. We couldn’t blame on the homosexual parenting. Some researches even showed that homosexuality is affected by genes. The result suggests that several genetic regions may influence homosexuality. (http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/news/20050128/is-there-gay-gene) Consequently, the sexual orientation of children is not affected by parents’ sexual tendency no matter homosexual or heterosexual. Furthermore, in my opinion, I think homosexual parents, in some degree, give their children a more lenient mind toward the sexual orientation issues. In other word, they are more tolerant and would not become homophobia. Actually, I think they can deal their sexual predisposition properly with less hesitation and uncertainty.
In our own country, Taiwan, have no law especially focus on the homosexual issues. However, civil law in our country regulate homosexuality can register their marriage despite it is annulled. Our law civilly makes a expediency which a protocol (人權保障基本法草案) says homosexual can legally adopt children, but on the other hand, according to current civil law, homosexual marriages are annulled. That is, homosexual couples in Taiwan who want to adopt children are civilly acceptable; nevertheless, they need to adopt the children with individual titular. To be simpler, they can book to be partners with legal children adopting but annulled marriage. I think it is quite complete and show that our country ensure people with nature human rights. Yet, comparing with the law, our society is too conservative to accept the ideas of homosexual family, which I think should be improved.
In any democracy countries, the Constitute declares that men were born equal with basic rights, which include surviving, preserving assets, freedom of public speech, and most important of all, the right of pursuit of happiness. Homosexual couples are no more than ordinary people who just want to get along with the men or women they loved and form a family like everybody else. Consequently, we shouldn’t and couldn’t ban or limit their rights no matter in the aspect of law or in the moral standard of society. After all, homosexual people are just like us, working hard and searching for the secular success and happiness. As a result, I am hundred-percent agree with homosexual adopting. How about you?
