What are some religious arguments against adoption by same-sex couples?

Answer 1

Many religious people believe God designed the family as including a man and a woman for various reasons. The chief among these is the furtherance of the human race in a safe, structured environment where the roles of a man and those of a woman could be jointly given to their offspring. However, there's much debate over whether this traditional family system exists anymore with single parents and gay couples having families.

More recently, Psychology and Human Behaviorist have discovered the unique contributions of each parent. Many who oppose same-sex adoption believe an adopted child in a same-sex relationship would never be given these unique character traits of traditional marriage partners, although there is debate over whether whether the evidence to support this opinion exists

Answer 2

Since adoption is a civil matter handled by the courts and governed by civil laws, religious arguments are irrelevant and will not be considered by civil authorities in the adoption process.

In the United States, we have separation of church and state. However, we do not have separation of busybodies from other people's business. In short, if you believe that adoption of children by same-sex married couples is an abomination, or some other hateful term, then by all means, please do not jointly adopt a child with a partner of the same sex. Problem solved.
