Same sex couples, regardless of their race, sexuality and gender, should legally be allowed to adopt children.

Homosexuals and heterosexuals alike have parental instincts and are as interested in beginning families and raising children. A family should be based on love and trust, if these two elements are present in a relationship, homosexual or heterosexual, there would be no reason that the environment the couple creates for a child...
