Other types of adoption

I want to start by saying this is just my opinion and we are all entitled to them, and to each person their own.

Anyhow, I was surfing the web to find things on the recalled toys and then when I was done I decided to see if the Seattle times had ever run an article on adoption and to my surprise they did just recently.

This plays a diffrent view on adoption and I find my self okay with the topic and I also see the challenges that can be faced in a situation. First off my hat goes off to the people of the same sex who choose to pressue adoption to help fill their dream. Second to the moms out there that go aginst society and give these couples a chance to parent. Its nice to know they have groups where they can come together and talk about the challenges that they face as parents.
I hope the biirth parents are involved somehow so that the child knows both sides of the story just like any other adoption.

So I would like to know how other feel about this.

I'm not for too big on Gay adoption Or intentional surrogacy. But I am glad that they have support groups out there..but really just for the birthfamilies and adoptees..They are the ones that are going to need it the most after experiencing such a tremendous loss.

Thanks for posting your views. I agree that it is the adoptee that will face most of lifes challanges. I mean they are already facing the fact that they are adopted and trying to figure it out then to have to try and explain to people why they have two of the same parents. I personally would not go that way.
