foster homes /orphanages
basically same thing with a different name
children who lost parents, children who was given up , children who were took away

go to the same place now

I met a kid who had two men has parents, , this kid was so messed up mentally
I never knew at the time about his parents so to speak, but thought sorry for this boy, always crying etc
One day while my oldest was playing on his bike, this boy just started to cry, nothing unusual as he always did.
I went over thinking he had hurt himself instead he told me that he hated himself, he hated not having a mother and hated having two men as parents.
He then used to come round to our house and he would attach himself to my wife, and one day said to her I wish you were my mum

This was when I lived in massachusetts, thankfully I escaped that state and moved south.

That episode speaks volumes and I will never forget it, so when I hear that argument I get high strung, as from being through with not a mother and father,seeing others like me and then meeting this boy only confirms to me just what is needed

A child having two men as dads is wrong and only serves to mess the boy up further in life

Maybe we have different understandings of those terms. I think of a foster home as a private home where a child lives in adoptive parents. I think of an orphanage as a place where children who have not been adopted live under the custody of the state.

As far as child damage, that is largely due to the stigma against gay parents. Of course, that shouldn’t be dismissed, and like I said, it’s definitely preferable to have one mother and one father. Don’t you think the kid would be more messed up he hadn’t been adopted at all? Wouldn’t that make him feel extremely unwanted?
