End of gay adoption ban spurs start of 100 new families in South Florida
South Florida Sun Sentinel ^ | October 2, 2011 | Georgia East

Like so many parents, Jessie and Cooper Odell spend their days helping their 8-year-old with homework, taking him to the park, playing football or attending church on Sundays.

But their journey to becoming a typical family was anything but routine.

"Until recently I always felt like I had to look over my back,'' said Jessie Odell, 39, a Palm Beach event planner who has cared for the boy since July and is finally able to adopt him. "God has finally given us what we've been fighting for.''

Why can’t they adopt a dog from a shelter rather than permanently screw up the mind and life of a kid?

I’m sure this was based on rigorous research as to what is best for the children. /s

I bet a republican religious hetero couple is viewed with more suspicion. If you’re a gay muslim leftist couple it’s assumed you are virtuous.

What a load. You're supposed to lick that up America. It's another "in your face" moment from the homosexual movement.

Sorry, but a "group" of adults, children with two Mommies/Two Daddies do not a family make.

Ahhh,, but what about a group that has either a single male/female configuration? Wouldn't that constitute the status of a "family? NO! If the single parent is gay, the term "family" would not, should not, apply.

Libs are thrilled they have a new group of lab rats children to run homo experiments on. If I had been an orphan I'd have preferred to be raised in a institution than by faggots. Are the kids even given a choice or are they just considered booty plunder?

We’re pretty liberal when it comes to adoptions here in Texas (after all, we don’t want to be considered ‘heartless’)...

Texas
Permits single GLBT adoption. Joint adoption unclear. Second-parent adoption allowed in some areas.

Suggestion for everyone

Would you call Marxists “smarts”? HIV carriers “healthies”?

Stop calling homosexuals “gay”. It’s a marketing term, nothing more.

Most of ‘em are whiners, miserable, and as a group they have demonstrably higher rates of depression and suicide. They are definitely not ‘gay’ so don’t get fooled into calling them that.

“Homosexual” is descriptive and accurate. It’s time to reclaim the language.

How many of these kids will be scarred for life? At least one little preteen kid in Kalipornia is being forced into a sex change operation by lesbian “parents”.

Yep. God gave you over to your reprobate mind a la Romans Chapter 1.

Congratulations. Faggot.

“Until recently I always felt like I had to look over my back,” Isn’t that the normal position for at least one of them!

Poor kids I feel sorry for them. I pray that all of them will come to understand their “parents” proclivities and reject them outright!

Just me, but I feel so sorry for those children to be raised in such a home.

It's not just you, I would say about 97% of moral Americans believe this is an abomination for homos & lesbians to adopt kids. I cannot imagine how messed up & dysfunctional these kids will end up, being exposed to "dad kissing & hugging the other dad" (or mom kissing & hugging the other mom"). Romans 1:18-32 clearly points out that homosexuality & lesbianism are the final degradation in reprobate human behavior & vile sin, before God completely turns them over to their own ultimate reprobate immoral behavior & consequences.

There are some statistics out there that claim these adopted children of homosexual parents are 7 times more likely to be homosexual adults than the general population - which crushes the “nature vs nurture” question.

Anyone have a citing about this?

Does anyone know if the means homo couples may be allowed to adopt or that they must be allowed to adopt? In otherwords, what does this impose on the religious adoption agencies in the state?

I'm drawing blanks on internet searches.
