I'm in favor of adoption vs surrogacy as well. There are many children who desperately need homes.

I was also adopted by a straight couple and they were terrible parents. They gave me basically no life skills and to this day I am learning things that I should have learned as a child, young adult. I've basically had to raise myself.

All people can be bad parents. I used to be favor of psychological evaluations of anyone who wanted to raise any child (biologically theirs or otherwise) but with the recent crazy coming out of that field I don't trust what they would consider sane.
