Gay couples need psychological counselling, not children.
Lulz. It isn't a psychological problem. Prejudice however, may warrant a little visit;
Re: Same sex couples adopting children of other ethnic backgrounds
Last weekend, I was out with my nieces. We were taking pictures at an indoor park. There was a white gay couple there with a black kid.
My 4 year old niece was playing and the little boy came over too. After a few minutes, he went back to his parents...the gay couple.
I was watching her, she was watching them...a little confused. I quickly distracted her but she kept glancing back.
Thats just a first time...there will be many more instances like this one. And very soon, there will also be questions.
How do you explain these things to your children and are they acceptable?
Our religion says no but our insaniyat says its okay.
Re: Same sex couples adopting children of other ethnic backgrounds
You assume the unadopted muslim kid would practice Islam if left unadopted (on what pretext do you assume this?) You also assume the adopted muslim will become nonpracticing if adopted by non-muslims.
To want to leave your child unadopted for fear of the child losing his/her religion is convoluted. If you, as a parent have "taught your kid well enough", then the child practicing Islam shouldn't be a matter of concern. If it is, you've obviously not done your job pal.
On the pretext that child would grow up in a muslim orphanage. I clearly stated that earlier. And yes, no matter how good a job you do on say a 5 year old kid, that child obviously will not end up a muslim if adopted by non-muslims.

Oops, I missed that. Apologies. What if the child is of older age, about 10 and has a sense of religion. Your answer will remain the same? I just find the concept of remaining unadopted for such a reason unfair because it may possibly rob a child of great parents because of what the couple's personal lifestyle choices are.
Also, I wasn't thinking of specifics (so your muslim orphanage clause was missed). But say there wasn't a muslim orphanage for your kid to go to. Then what?

Yep. And I am also prejudiced against pedophilia and zoophilia, and for same reasons. But that's diverting the thread. Let me know contact of a shrink that might help me.
Re: Same sex couples adopting children of other ethnic backgrounds
So, some people are against Muslim kids being adopted by non-Muslim (AKA gay) parents. BUT!
...aren't all babies Muslim by default? So technically, no gay adoption? Very clever.
