letting gay couples adopt children means forcing gay lifestyle and gay parents on the children, and I don't support that

Alex, I think that is an ignorant statment to make. You think its ok for homosexuals to get married, but you don't think its appropriate for them to adopt?WHY?
Do you have any idea just how many children there are in foster homes and adoption centers just waiting, dying for a loving family to take them into their home?
I know first hand, because my aunt and uncle were medically unable to have children on their own, so they decided to adopt. After waiting for paperwork, and verifications,and backround checks to go through, they were able to go to the adoption center to choose which baby they wanted to take home. When my aunt got home, she broke down in tears because of the condition of these types of places (they adopted from Russia because the waiting list for a newborn was too long in Canada) and the way the children are treated there. They were basically tied to the sides of the basinette because the volume of babies far exceeded the amount of hands they had to take care of them.They were only fed once a day because the adoption centers do not recieve enough funding to feed the children properly.
Anyway, I dont understand why some people have a problem if two capable, loving, caring individuals (if they are homosexual) adopt a baby. Wouldnt you rather be raised by two loving people (regardless of their sex) in a good home, then be tossed into some foster home and left to rot, with subpar supervision, and no one on one attention?? Just because a gay couple adopts a child, it doesnt necessarily mean the child will turn out to be gay, and if they do, SO WHAT. Why should it bother you? Every gay person I know what raised by STRAIGHT parents.
Anyway, carry on. This is just my
