Hello.
I am writing as a prospective adoptive parent who would like to ask about questions or concerns that birthparents might have about choosing a family that has two moms, a five year old girl and a twelve year old boy. (I'm certainly NOT soliciting. I would like to hear whether or not you, personally, would choose a two-mom family.)
In our community, we have not had any problems with our children's schools, friends, or friends' parents. Our extended families and our friends support our wish to complete our family.
We are both in our mid thirties and have completed our education. Each of us works in the education field, and we're financially stable. We are not involved in organized religion, but we encourage our children to learn about religion and the history of religions.
We're very involved in our children's lives and education, and we travel as a family in order to learn about other states. One day, we will begin to travel outside of the U.S.
If you were in the position to choose the parents for your baby, would you consider a two-mom family? Why or why not?
I appreciate your candid replies. :)
Take care,
2MomsinGA

Absolutely, I would! I almost did-- but the same sex couple I ended up almost choosing ended up being manipulative jerks and liars. I was unable to find another same sex couple that was right for me, but if I had, their sexual orientation would be completely irrelevant. Two loving parents are two loving parents, and that's what matters to me. I was even more inclined to go with a same sex couple because I feel so passionately about equality and feel like same sex couples probably wait longer for birthmothers open to placing their babies in non-traditional families.
I would be less likely, however, to place with a family with two older children, but that's just because my preference is for my children to go to a childless couple.
No,
I would definitely not have placed with same sex couple. Actually, I wouldn't have placed at all if I knew then what I know now.
Whilst I have no concerns about the ability of ss couples to parent as well as any couple, I would have concerns about discrimination against my child if they were a part of that family. Plus, I strongly believe in the right of every child to have a mother and a father. Actually, I strongly believe every child has a right to be raised by their biological mother and father, so I guess you could say I am against any child being raised by anyone other than their biological parents (in an ideal world, of course).

Isn't the divorce rate something like 50% and aren't more kids being raised by just their moms or grandmas? The definition of family is changing in this country and many, many children do not grow up with a mom and a dad. Isn't it just as good to have two people who love them more than anything in the world and who give them all the time and attention they deserve?
