Are kids of LGBT couples more wanted by the parents?

[LightHouse89]

I've heard that around 1 in 5 LGBT couples have children but I'm not sure whether those children come from a previous opposite-sex marriage or from adoption/IVF.

well of course children don't pop out of vaginas.....storks bring them randomly in the middle of the night.

I think some of these children will have future psychological problems.

Do you suppose that you could explicate a little further?

I know a woman who was fostered and brought up by two lesbians and she was utterly hopeless with men. These women were extreme feminists who probably gave her a depressing outlook on female-male relations. However, she came right in the end, serving in the Royal Navy for some years before settling down with a man.

However, her life would have been far worse had she remained with her birth parents, most inadequate persons, unkempt, unwashed, and living and abject poverty and alcoholic squalor, whose irresponsible actions resulted in a total of eight babies popping out of the mother's vagina, the youngest dropping out onto the lavatory floor, slipping out with a little plop as a sow might give birth to a piglet.

All of those poor children were taken into care, to be fostered or adopted, one after the other, which shows just how unthinking and unfeeling those two miscreant heterosexuals really were.

I have seen this many times; useless heterosexuals, drinking, smoking, taking drugs during pregnancy, knowing that their unborn child might be damaged physically, and taken away from them at birth. The results are emotionally, physically and neurologically-damaged children bearing the cost of their birth parents' selfish shamelessness.

There seems to be an assumption that there is an inherent virtue in heterosexual relations. There is not. Millions of unplanned and unwanted children are born, and many born to parents who are incapable of caring for them, financially or otherwise.

I draw your attention to this news story:

• Vile product of Welfare UK: Man who bred 17 babies by five women to milk benefits system is guilty of killing six of them
  
  
• Mick Philpott treated his children like cash cows generating £60,000 a year in benefits
  
  
• He plotted to set fire to the family home with his wife Mairead to frame Philpott’s former live-in lover Lisa Willis
  
  
• The gamble was to save the youngsters, win back custody and get a bigger council house
  
  
• After he was convicted, it also emerged that ‘Shameless Mick’ faces a fresh police investigation for allegedly raping a woman
  
  
• He was jailed for trying to kill a schoolgirl lover, stabbing her 27 times after she ended their relationship
  
  
• He planned to ‘get rich quick’ – turning funeral funds donated by the local community into Argos vouchers

Think of it yourself, I believe everyone here would agree with me. When saying that the average child of LGBT parents are more wanted than the average kid of straight parents. Why? It's simple, a lot of straight people just 'get pregnant', as a mistake. And the child is born with no planning etc before. While kids of LGBT parents requires a lot of planning and such before.

What do you say about this?

A pregnancy is a consequence that may occur for diverse motives, but hardly ever a mistake since animals will naturally try to find any way to reproduce, which is the most basic purpose of life. (I've never seen anyone said that they've mistakenly put it)
And as for what I know, a plan doesn't work as expected just because it was meticulously idealized. So, even if LGBT parents might required more planning in matters of adopting or sort, it doesn't means that they, at the moment of the adoption in relation to the moment of pregnancy or birth, want that life more than heterosexual parents, nor that they will love or raise them better.
And in matters of parenting, as long as the children don't grow up in an ambiguous enviroment and can socialize openly to the rest of circles of a society, then it wouldn't be as immensely different to more traditional families, as some may believe.
