MARRIAGE AND ADOPTION LAW: "Ms Wells 1980"

[That's the pseudonym of a married mother who works full-time.]

I am a parent and I recognize the need for a "two-parent" household. I am not for gay couples adopting because they willfully "chose" a life style that cannot naturally produce children under any circumstances. That is their choice though I feel the ability to successfully raise and nurture children among them is the same as that of heterosexuals.

Unfortunately, the economic forces at work do not maintain a "living wage" based on a single income thereby resulting in many moms working outside the home. That is reality. And any "type" of abusive parent should be absent from a child's life period. Better to be a single parent than suffer that situation.

Equally so, no woman or man should be forced to maintain a false relationship over time "for the sake of the children". That leads "in death do we part" situations. And the tension between them does filter down to the children.

Also add to the fire nature and mankind are "not in balance" and there does not exist a "father" for every child in the monogamous setting. If that were true, given the nature of man, there would be a third of the population of women without husbands and childless. By the time women and men are of marriagable age, the ration is 4:1.

Reality is it is time for a new social agenda for the rearing of human beings. It is truely one world and we need to be addressing the concerns of humanity versus individual pre-conceived norms.

Men do not "own" children because they fathered them. This drive for "paternity" has enslaved women emothionaly (sex for women is tied to our emotions-paternity identification) and resulted in the neglect of children considered "not theirs" (sex for men is tied to their egos-how many children they father).

These outdated social norms must be addressed and corrected if society is to truly step into a new century. It does not matter who a child's father is (study the lions), all that matters is that as a collective group we sucessfully raise ALL the children to be positive human lights of humanity.
