Orphanage or gay parents

[Me Myself]

Whats better for a child to grow in?

In an orphanage, or in a gay parents family aproved by a competent social worker for meeting the economical, emotional and psychological requirements to have the child ?

 

[Trey of Diamonds]

Gay parents of course.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Obviously an orphanage. Being emotionally stunted is way less of an abomination than being part of the gay agenda.

Let's ask kids adopted by gay parents and kids stuck in orphanges.

We can't. Children adopted into the gay lifestyle have been brainwashed into acceptance and complacency.

The question might be better asked:
"Which is better? Kids to grow up in an orphanage or with parents?"
There's no legitimate reason to throw the "gay" in there.
Parents can be good or bad, independent on their sexuality.

Nicely put.

I prefer parents tested by competent social workers than those non-tested (even when even then stuff may happen)

I do agree, their parenting skills are independient from their sexual inclination.

By the way, orphanages are no longer used in the United States and instead we have the Foster Care system.

From the Wiki

United States
Orphanages are no longer a part of the American adoption process, but do still play a significant role in the process of adopting from many international countries.

Following World War II, most orphanages in the U.S. began closing. Over the past few decades, orphanages in the U.S. have been replaced with smaller institutions that try to provide a group home or boarding school environment. Most children who would have been in orphanages are in these Residential Treatment Centers (RTC), Group Homes or with foster families. Adopting from RTCs, Group Homes and foster families require working with an adoption agency.

There are still a few orphanages left, mostly catholic.

I am not sure I get it. What happens to the children no one wants to adopt or care for a while? when there is no stranger or relative that cares for them enough?

In which conditions and places do this unwanted children live?

The foster care system takes care of them. Not well but it does make the attempt.

Which tend to be the conditions of a "foster care" ? conceptually, how is a "foster care" different than an "orphanage" ?

Group homes are still around though, with mixed levels of quality - mostly good, some not so good, a few very bad - just like foster homes.

True, but does a group home count as an orphanage? I know its similar but I thought it was different for some reason. The wiki said something about boarding schools as well which was new to me. Still, the primary solution is the foster care system. I'm not sure if it is considered superior to the old orphanage system or not.

I saw your link but I honestly don´t know the difference. What is mostly emphasized is that the foster care reallly tries to get this children some other home.

Beyond that, what I read is that in most cases kids simply dont get enough attention in there for their most important stages of development, not because there are bad intentions, but simply because they cant, each child needs enough personal interaction and direct care for healthy development.

The difference is an orphanage is a facility the holds a large number of children that are cared for by staff members. The foster cares system places children in volunteer homes so that they are cared for by someone filling the role of a parent. Does that help?

They're not quite the same things, and some are targeted towards kids who are particularly troubled, while others are more like 'overflow' for the foster care system.

They're typically run by a couple who reside there and are like... um.. dorms with RAs kind of? But still more family-ish than that. So instead of 100 kids in an orphanage, it's like 16 kids in a dorm with a couple.
