Adoption, or parenting for that matter, is not a right. Just because you want a child does not mean you get one.
That said, as long as a couple meets the requirements to adopt a child, I say let them. Kids need two parents. The number of gay households that would choose to adopt or do IVF would likely be tiny compared to the population as a whole, so the fear on the part of religious folks that the political argument would be won as more and more kids grow up considering gay relationships to be "normal" is pretty unlikely to be realized. And let's face it, the kid is going to be teased about
something regardless of how his parents bump uglies.
I think the people who say no gay person would ever adopt for political reasons are naive, but I also think the likelihood of that person getting away with such a scheme is remote, given the scrutiny under which he or she would necessarily be operating.
I think adopting kids from other countries should be illegal while there are orphans in the US, unless the foreign kids are blood relatives or the children of friends. If gay parents can make a dent in the size of the population of US orphans, then let them do so.
...but if I see gay celebrities following their straight counterparts, bringing a designer third-world baby to red carpet event, all bets are off.
