Dennis and Tom...say that kids should be allowed to be adopted by gay and lesbian families in order to avoid being put in a foster care child home. No matter who loves who, as long as the kids have a good upbringing then the decisions they make and the homes in which these kids are placed should not matter.
The straight lady(Katie)...says that kids should not be able to be adopted by gay and lesbian families and that they should be placed in mom dad homes only. In this case I believe that the number of children in foster care homes would dramatically increase and that a lot more kids would be left without a home or family.
This is a very tough topic to talk about. My opinion is on both sides I guess. I want to say that kids should be allowed to be placed in gay and lesbian homes ONLY to prevent the numbers in foster care centers from increasing. I was brought up to believe in mom dad homes only and that that is the best way to be raised.
Katie lives by her faith and by her families rules and how she was raised from birth. Dennis and Tom are still religious, but their religion allows there to be gay and lesbian families with children in their church/place of worship.
If I had to pick one side, I would go with Katie. I was raised catholic my family was raised catholic and even their families before them. We have all grown up in mom dad families and households and that's probably how it always will be. We have never really been around gay or lesbian families or even people alone to know what it would be like or to know if they could really give the same to a child as a mother and father together. With that being said, I am not saying everything Katie says is right because I have always been taught to see things with an open mind and meet people with an open heart. Katie sort of holds to her own beliefs and doesn't let the second half of her try and see where Dennis and Tom are coming from when they are speaking about their family. From the looks of the video we watched in class, I honestly think that Dennis and Tom are doing a great job raising their family. They seem to have things controlled perfectly and they show enough love to their kids if not more than some mom dad families. I think I heard that they have a special needs child who didn't talk before being in their family and now he speaks. That to me is absolutely amazing because I work with seven severely autistic boys and they are extremely hard to handle, but it is extremely rewarding. They need more love and attention and care than any other child on this entire planet and if Dennis and Tom can give their little one all that love and attention then I truly believe they know what they are doing and I truly believe that they have the right to have children and raise a family.
