I watched some videos in youtube about gay family, how they live with their children, and how they run their life as gay parents. I encountered a youtube user depfox (probably owned by the couple). I am touched by their videos.
They adopted a baby girl and a 5 year-old boy, named Daniel, who has a medical condition cause by his biological mom's alcohol consumption during pregnancy. His mother was negligence and obviously alcoholic. The mother alcohol problem caused the poor little boy to have a condition of which the left side of his body is underdeveloped. So, the left side of his face was not normally formed. He has difficulties in uttering words perfectly, he has one leg shorter than the other, and he also has lots more of other medical conditions and actually had several surgeries. It has been few years now, and i can the boy is doing very well, living in a perfectly healthy, happy family.
But still, there are some people, who were mindless enough to say that gay couples should not adopt kids. They said that kids deserve to be with a mom and a dad, living in a happy family. But we have to know that we are not living in a perfect world where every kids have a loving mom and dad. We are not living in a fairy tales ( even in fairy tales there are abusive father and mother). There are lots of kids out there, abandoned, neglected or abused by their own biological parents. Just two days ago in the newspaper there was a man physically abused his child. I feel terrible for these kids and i want each and every one of them to live in a loving environment like what this gay couple gave to Daniel. I am happy that Daniel doesn't have live with his negligence, alcoholic biological mother. I am hoping the unfortunate kids out there, with or without parents, can have a happy life Daniel is having.
To the homophobic people out there that saying gay couple should not adopt children because of the lack of fatherly or motherly figure in the family and any other ridiculous reason: in Daniel's case, the gay couples are actually mending the harms caused by heterosexuals. The gay couple is giving the unfortunate kids a chance to be fortunate and live the life they deserve. My dad, he never had the chance. his mother hated him and his father neglected him before they finally divorced. He stayed with his grandmother (who was also negligence) for a while before living alone in a boarding school for his entire school life. Where is your loving heterosexual parents? Where is your fairy tale world? What kids deserve is not a mother and a father, but to be loved. It does't matter if it's mom and dad, dad and dad or mom and mom. Love is love.
Today, after seeing the child abuse news in the tv, my mom said that she would treat her grandchildren equally. Then i asked "even the adopted grandchildren?". To my delight, she smiled, and said "yes, even the adopted grandchildren".
