Because a child deserves to have parents that love him/her rather than sitting in foster care for the rest of their youth. 2 men or 2 women can take care of a child just as well as an opposite sex couple, and far better care of a child than the state ever will.
The children of gay parents thrive and turn out great.
In the absence of a legitimate reason to forbid it, yes, they should be allowed to marry and adopt children.
Assuming you mean children, the answer is no. Only married couples (homosexuals are not allowed to marry) or singles can adopt children.
As of 2017, gay people can technically adopt in all 50 U.S. states, but they are still routinely denied in some states. Single people (gay or straight) are allowed to adopt in all states except Utah.
In Germany, gay couples are allowed to have registered partnerships. One of the benefits of these registered partnerships is that they are allowed to adopt their partner's biological children. However, as of 2014 they are not allowed to adopt children outside their partnership.

Yes. Same-sex married couples may now adopt children in Utah, pursuant to a decision of the Utah State Supreme Court dated October 23, 2014.Yes. Sexual orientation does not prevent single-parent adoption in Utah, but cohabitation outside of a legal relationship is a bar to adoption. Following the legalization of same-sex marriage in Utah, same-sex married couples should legally be allowed to adopt children.
Although a single gay person is allowed to adopt a child, it is unclear whether a same-sex couple can legally adopt (either jointly or "second parent") a child in Wyoming.
I don't think you can. You either has to be single or married to adopt. Just living together is neither. if you are in a samesex relationship and has gone through partnership might be possible though.
Yes. Anyone who can provide a good home to a child should be allowed to adopt. Gay people and single people have proven to be exemplary parents.
