To all you who say gay couples shouldn't adopt - how would you feel if I said Polish people shouldn't adopt?
Why do you compare apples to oranges? The question is about GAY couples and you try to manipulate it to get your point by comparing gay couples with "ALL POLISH PEOPLE". Compare UK gay couples to Polish gay couples.
It's not apples and oranges - you seem to want to deliberately exclude an entire segment of the population from adopting. I agree I should have said "how would you feel if I said Polish couples shouldn't adopt?". Maybe you also think black couples should never be allowed to adopt? Or Jewish couples? Or Catholic couples?

Just because gay couples can't have their own biological children doesn't make them unfit for parenthood - or do you think infertile couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt either?
So why healthy and fertile gay couples cannot have their own biological children? The nature - that have been working for billions of years on this planet - has decided it is not possible and no good for the human population.
I wasn't talking about gay couples conceiving biological children, I was talking about them adopting children. Do you really think adoption should be reserved for only those who are able to have biological children of their own? Do you not think this would be rather limiting in terms of the number of adoptive parents as well as rather difficult to enforce?
Do you think that a drug-addicted, alcoholic single mother who keeps popping out kids and doesn't really care about them is better for a child than a respectable gay couple who want children so much that they are willing to go through the difficult process of adoption to get them?
This should be about what's best for the children. I don't think excluding people just because they are unable to conceive naturally (or whatever other prejudice you may care to throw at gay people) is a very intelligent way of looking at it.
