BCC Gay Adoption Discussion
As with gay marriage, many Americans are divided on the subject of whether or not same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt children. A recent poll shows that 47 percent of Americans support adoption by gay couples, while 43 percent are against it. Ten percent of those polled were undecided. What do you think? Were you bothered by this selection or did you agree with the judge’s encouragement and support of two gay men adopting Baby ACE? Write an essay either in support of or against gay adoption. As you might imagine, this hotly-debated topic is all over the internet. Simply typing, “Should gay adoption be legal/allowed?” will give you plenty of information to consider when putting your essay together. Include 3 or 4 strong arguments for or against gay adoption in your essay. With each argument, supply supporting details. For example, if one of your arguments is, say, “There is no proof that children of gay parents are poorly adjusted,” you might present statistics, studies, or even quotes from authorities on child raising and childhood behavior.
