'Gayby boom' shows no sign of slowing

[Prov1322]

It's dinnertime at the Barton household and Madilyn's turn to say grace. Holding her parents' hands, the 5-year-old races through the blessing: "God-is-great-God-is-good-Let-us-thank-him-for-our-food," she says breathlessly.

"Whoa, Madilyn, not so fast," her Papa admonishes gently. "Please do it again."

Twin sister Marilyn giggles as Madilyn recites the prayer again, this time slowly. This time, both Papa and Daddy smile approvingly.

Night after night in their two-story Orlando home, Craig and Don Barton and their adopted daughters follow a routine familiar to millions of families. As a gay couple, Craig, known as "Papa" to his girls, and Don, the man they call "Daddy," may not be apple-pie traditional, but, like most committed parents, their daily lives center on their children.

The Bartons are part of the "gayby boom," an explosion in the number of gays and lesbians who, at peace with themselves and their place in society, are choosing parenthood through adoption or reproductive technology.

"There was a sizable boom in the 1990s, but today it's a groundswell," said April Martin, author of The Lesbian and Gay Parenting Handbook. "There is a seismic shift in the number of gays and lesbians who feel parenting is a real option."

This is so wrong on so many levels it's hard to know where to even begin to comment...

Thank a Democrat. This wouldn't exist (at least legally) without them.

[paulklenk]

Well, isn't that special!

[Paul Atreides]

I've noticed there are a lot of traditional things (marriage, families, church, prayer, etc.) that liberals approve of.....only as long as homosexuals are the ones doing it.

[Dan from Michigan]

Pathetic.

No thanks.

LOL! Beat me to it. My alternate response was 'Barf'.

You don't have to drink an entire bottle of lemon juice, to know it's sour.

That's strange...since it is illegal for sodomites to adopt
children in Florida. Do they live in Florida? I didn't bother reading the article.

Since when does illegality or immorality stop the Sodomites from their evil and despicable deeds?!

These poor kids will be messed up for the rest of their lives.

[bluebunny]

I just don't know how in good conscious these states can allow them to adopt children. The world is so messed up now.

[Godebert]

"These poor kids will be messed up for the rest of their lives."

Yup, they'll be democrat voters for life.

[Regulator]

You forgot the Barf alert

[wallcrawlr]

Oh great!!! Parent day and open houses at the school are going to get real interesting.

How many times must Jesus say this about harming children?

Matt.18:6

[6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mark.9:42

[42] And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Luke.17:2

[2] It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Need I mention what God says about homosexuality in the Old Testament? Or in the New Testament?

Now the sodomites want to throughly confuse children with their unnatrual behavior.

"These poor kids will be messed up for the rest of their lives."

That is a fact. NO study needed to determine that.

[tbpiper]

They say daughters tend to marry men like their fathers. In this case, that means they would mary gay men. But that won't work cause no gay men would want to marry an icky ole girl.........yep, I'd say there going to be messed up.

[JSteff]

Or for that matter, from the judiciary supporting them.
