Heard This; Is It Accurate?

[OmaHusker]

Yeah, and why would we want a loving couple to raise some of the thousands of kids in foster care when they can't have their own...

I didn't say we wouldn't, I just said there's a difference.

[OmaHusker]

Studies done by various universities believe about 80% of all marriages in history have been between 2nd cousins or closer

That's a pretty high number. Hard to believe.

How else should I read this?

So if you are good with gays (and others) raising adopted children, don't you think it'd be better for everyone if they were in a stabilized relationship that's approved by and fully integrated into society?

I think all children should be raised in a safe, loving home.

Good to know.

And isn't the safest, most secure home provided by two people who are married?

Depends....most abuse cases come from married couples rather than single parents.

Not always.

[cm husker]

Not always.

How about generally?

Do you support or oppose same sex couples adopting?

That statistic would surprise me greatly, especially if the single parent significant other is live in. The only way is see it as possible is that a majority of kids are still raised in 2 parent households and/or one member of the married couple is willing to report abuse more often than a single parent.

I support children being raised in a safe, secure, loving environment, even if by Martians. Grok?
