Until the kid finds out his parents gave him away. How would you feel? Sorry, I thought I had put that into my mail on this topic. The child is delighted to have so much attention and interacts happily both both the natural and adoptive parents. But then it's not unusual in that society and there is a far greater closeness anyway between cousins. Cousins, uncles and aunts often do a great deal of raising of the young. Some still live in longhouses so they are co-located in any case.

So being brought up by people other than your parents isn't a problem? Have you had the look at the statistics on this? It's a very real and painfully obvious problem. Depends on who your parents are, if your dad is the kind of f**ktard who keeps having kids he doesn't want or can't afford, you might very well be better off raised by your aunt and uncle (who can't have kids and are desperate for a kid to raise). Yeah, its going to come with problems. But that's life, everyone has assorted existential problems of belonging and being they have to resolve. Yeah so your biological father doesn't want you, your biological mother gave you up. That sucks. But you know what doesn't, those two people who raised you, and loved you as if you were their own child. People who are adopted are often curious about their parents, and it weighs on them in life. But you know who almost all of them call mum and dad, the people who raised them, loved them and provided for them. People suffer, no mistaking, but do they suffer more than if they'd been brought up by those parents who don't want them, or can't afford them, or can't raise them. I doubt it. And the kind of problems that come from being in the foster and care system are a lot worse.

Don't know a single unplanned pregnancy from same sex couples. Almost every child is planned for and they parents have to go through stringent background checks and the like to adopt, which obviously failed in this instance. I'm sure the statistics for violent instances like this are far far higher in traditional families. Children needing a traditional mother and father figure is a bullsh*t argument with no grounds. Children need two parents that love them and want he best for them regardless of the parents gender or sexuality. Edited by coulsdoneagle (10 Oct 2017 9.45pm)

I totally disagree with the first sentence of your second paragraph. There are statistics that show that the traditional model has better outcomes compared to any other known model.

The most negative one was sponsored by a US pro-life group. The most positive was an Australian study. I can see nothing substantive in the studies to date. If there is a difference, as has been said before, other variables appear to be far more important.
