Should single people to allowed to adopt?
This website fights for the equality of unmarried people and it discusses whether or not unmarried people should deserve more equal opportunity of being able to adopt a child. it explains first that there are so many children waiting to be adopted. Then the website also talks about how unmarried people actually want to adopt.
I really do not understand why adoption agencies are refusing to adopt children out to same sex couples, or single people because if someone is going to love and provide for that child, what does it matter who they marry? The number of children who are looking for a loving family is endless, so many children need to be adopted.
If the couple is same sex or single and make the requirements to adopt then why not. There are so many children in foster care that are waiting to be adopted. It shouldn't matter a persons sexual preferance to be able to adopt as long as the couple loves and can provide for the child. It also shouldn't matter if one is single. Again as long as the person can love and provide for the child there shouldn't be a problem.
Being married should not have any precedence over those who are not. Love is a universal concept that everyone has to offer. Women no longer need a man to provide for them, so why should one have to be married to love and care for a child? Especially if the willing parent has no issue providing the means to support the child. It is better than just leaving the child in a system that gives them no actual emotional support, which only contributes to abandonment and self-worth issues.
Personally I think anyone who is willing to tell themselves that they want to take in a child that is not born from their blood line and care for that child as if they are then all power to them, there are too many children out there that don't have homes and are put in the system until they age out and I think equality for single people is the right thing to do.
