Seems like this kind of thinking isn't just confined to the right.

Yesterday you were agreeing with Keith Vaz, and now Putin. Are you becoming a commie?

[anneasquith]

who me !!!!!!! :)

Gromit

I didn't know that Keith Vaz was a commie.

Talk about 'Reds under the bed'.

[anotheoldgit]

Gromit

Come to think about it, where have I ever said that I agree with either of these individuals?

[mightyWBA]

I still think Stalin was worse than Putin.

[tonyav]

And Lenin was worse still, WBA ;-)

[mightyWBA]

Yep...The boy Putin has a long way to go..

Is it better to let children spend their entire childhoods in orphanages, rather than be adopted by loving same-sex couples?

Not sure that's entirely wise.

[MrsLulu]

I often wonder what the children think when they are old enough to understand. That their Mommy is actually a Daddy........

Would two heterosexual men or two heterosexual women be allowed to adopt?

[aelmpvw]

heterosexuals don't tend to have partners of the same sex

Never heard of "the very best of inseparable friends"?

They do exist you know, they don't have to be sexually attracted to each other.

[jackthehat]

And are these 'best of friends' likely to want to adopt and raise a child together, AOG?

[anotheoldgit]

jackthehat

Who knows, the question I ask is would they be allowed, if they wanted to?

[jackthehat]

Single people are certainly allowed to foster children, whether that extends to adoption, I'm not sure.

But I suspect that any child, in your hypothetical scenario, would become the 'ward' of one of the dear-friends rather than both.

[sandyRoe]

I didn't think Putin was a left winger.

Of course i have aog but i've never heard of them wanting to adopt children

Obviously a politition with sense at last. Growing children need & require one of each parent 1 man, 1 woman, end of.
