Your argument is internally inconsistent. That doesn't suprise me though, as 100 years ago whites were likely mading internally inconsistent arguments for why it would be unnatural for interracial adoption to occur.

I think it's probably too soon to allow it in the UK - you guys aren't that progressive/liberal. But perhaps a generation or two from now some of the old prejudices won't be so strong.

Who knows?

So, how do you feel about singles adopting, regardless of sexual orientation?

I'm not inconsistant, it's just that you can't read properly, a biological dad and his partner is not two dads. It's dad plus Steve or Dave or whatever.

And a generation or two from now we'll probably have sharia law so I wouldn't count on it being more progressive/liberal here.

Singles adopting aren't as ideal as married couples adopting but are better than gay couples, I'd say.
