A question was posed to John McCain about whether he agreed with President Bush's statement that gays should not be allowed to adopt children. McCain agreed with Bush and said he believes that two parents are important for the family to be a success. Therefore, McCain does not believe in gay adoption. Since we already know that McCain does not believe that gay couples should marry, this should not have came as a surprise.
When asked if the only other alternative was for kids to live in orphanages without parents, McCain evaded that question by saying he and his wife are adoptive parents and he encourages others to adopt children in need. He believes the adoption process should be less complicated and fast.
This means to me that McCain would rather see children that are hard to place live without parents in an orphanage or worst because gay couples should not be allowed to adopt. I have met parents, gay parents that is, that have adopted hard to place children only to find out the children only needed love and understanding. The compassion that gay couples have is amazing. They have the time to raise a family and be happy.
One would have to wonder what makes McCain so cold when it comes to children. Since he does not use the Internet much, he must not know that there are so many children out there that need homes, but cannot find parents because of underlying situations. Before he can take a stand against gay adoption, he should get together with his advisers and campaign staff and find out the statistics about children that nobody wants to adopt. .
Someone should really send McCain some information regarding children in the world that need homes and do not have them. Maybe he would have to wake up and realize that he is dooming these precious children to a life without love and compassion. He is denying these children parents to love them and care for them. He is denying children the advantages of his own daughter.
