The right...I guess I should have explained further. The right to adopt is a statutory right where as the right to parent one's own child is a fundamental right.<BR/><BR/>I think with Thomas Atwood it is the moral majority that wants to rule the kingdom of adoption. Gay adoption activists want to make it a fundamental right. It is not a fundamental right. In this respect, they will lose their argument. I agree that its discrimination. Just like adoptee access is discrimination. We are treated separately under the law. Gays like the other races in America are now being treated separately as well. If the right to adopt becomes a fundamental right, then we all will be judged as to who is the fittest parent. That is my biggest concern. I don't think the moral majority should be the sole discretionary on this topic. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if this is not a test for our generation. If the bible says its a sin but the bible also says its not our place to judge. I know my husband will disagree with me but I believe that all should be treated equal under the law. If an adoption agency takes federal funds then they should honor the same laws. <BR/><BR/>I recently watched the movie "Gone Baby Gone." The mother is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Her brother arranges to have the child taken and to be raised by a former police chief. Her brother makes the decision that she is not fit to raise her child. A private detective figures out the entire scheme. He loses his wife in the process because he decided to call in the state police into the situation. He made the right decision in the film. It may not have been the best decision but it was the right decision because it wasn't up to the brother nor other law enforcement to make the decision in an illegal manner. Life is complex. We can't violate the rights of other human beings just because we don't like their life style.Amyadopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954658047614318238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-75825775437448843782008-08-03T14:18:00.000-05:002008-08-03T14:18:00.000-05:00I gracefully disagree about the statement there is...I gracefully disagree about the statement there is no right to adopt. I think it is falsely abused by the NCFA et al. to push their discriminatory agenda. <BR/><BR/>I believe there is a right to adopt, there is just no right to receive children based upon an adoption application.<BR/><BR/>Just before reading this post, I wrote something about this very topic on my own blog: <A HREF="http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/20870" REL="nofollow">The right to adopt</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
