I have nothing against Lesbians but I am adopted and have struggled mentally with finding myself. I am now 50 and have finally just about got my head straight but my parents are very distant so maybe no matter how much love a person has to give a lot of understanding is needed also on both sides!

Hi smile! :D

If you think that your legal rights on your name have been infringed, do not worry, I can reincarnate with another nick. If not, I will be delighted and smiling sharing it. When I registered I did not realize it. :oops:

In my opinion I have loved my parents for what they have loved me, they have taken care of me and... About the biological question I have not thought too much, well I hope that they were having a good time in my conception. :wink:

From my experience like father, there is a pride of "this one is my blood" but it reasoning this thought it's possessive and takes to the classic mistakes in the relations paternal - filial. The children are independent beings. As father I continue believing that one is my blood, because they have assured it me. :roll:

For definition an adoptive family has to guarantee its capacity and will to take care of a child, this not always happens in a biological family. The family in which we grow has to see with the luck. The society has to protect the children and to take care in order that the processes of adoption diminish the possible traumas. I think that an adopted child grows with major doubts. Yes... :(

Smile, I hope bring a little happiness into your life, :)

And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
There are leaning out for love
And the will leaning out for love"

I'm all for women priests. If those women who choose a religious life want this then I don't see why they can't do as good or a better job than the men Just being a nun is a bit like settling for being a nurse when you really want to be a doctor. Not that I would personally consider any of these professions myself
My wife asks me to use my access to give her opinion. :(

She agrees in the equality of opportunities between man and women.

She wants to specify on the roles between nurses and doctors. There are two different professions with different vocations. One works to take care and other one to cure. They exist conferred a doctor's degree on nursing in some countries. The nursing is not one profession lower than other one. She's surprised because in UK the profession of nursing is very recognized (pre Margaret Thatcher).

Probably you already know it: she is a nurse. :wink:

My opinion, five months after the debate:

A marriage can adopt a child if it guarantees his care and love.
A marriage is formed by two persons, we shouldn't look at their sex.

To look at the sex :shock: to judge is rude, is sexist.

I agree very with many things that have been said, the extreme sex isn't only of homos, the injustice of the courts in the custody against to the father (in Spain also)...

The need of two roles in the family is the only question that seems to be objective in against the adoption. This need is not clear at all. Neither all the heteros can assure these roles. Any way, there are more important needs to valuing.

In relation to the religion, they were never agreeing the homosexuality. This does not owe the current leaders, comes from his former roots. There is no possibility of revolution or reform. :x

not that i disagree. you are most probably right, but you have no scientific proof for that.

i don't realy see how it would do much harm if a child WOULD develop homosexuality. when you say the line above, you are asuming that being gay is bad. it's not.
Let's look at it this way: if sexuality is something that's developed through influence, wouldn't everyone be straight since it's most people grow in heterosexual familys? ;)

And I'm sorry if it seemed that I think being gay is a bad thing. It wasn't my intetion at all since it's not how I think.
