Gay adoption C2 (corrected)

Nowadays the number of gay couples who want to adopt a child is increasing. Should they adopt a child if they want though? These would be the different reasons for and against for this controversy.

They argue that they have a relationship which are more stable than many heterosexual marriages, thus giving adopted children a secure emotional home. Moreover this in an era when many children are raised by single parents. There is a shortage of adoptive parents; many children wait to be adopted because they need the affection that they never had. Gay couples only want to form a happy family like whoever. Furthermore the idea of gay adoption is a discrimination, based on sexual orientation, which would not be acceptable in other contexts such as employment.

People who  don't agree with this issue argue that schoolmates of the child would make fun of him. Many people are 'Christian' and they follow the 'Christian' teaching which don't agree with the homosexual relationships. Moreover, children raised by gay parents are offered only one partnership model and are therefore (some argue) more likely to be gay. A sufficiently large minority simply find gay parenting 'wrong', maybe because lesbians and gays have other ideas or manners which aren't well regarded for the children education.

To sum up, although maybe there are lots of children who want to be adopted, gays and lesbians adopting wouldn't be the same as a heterosexual family. I don't say it because they are different from the others, but because actually the child would have many troubles with the society in which we live.
