What Does Exodus Believe About Same-Sex Parenting & Adoption?

Image via Wikipedia Exodus International believes…  that the biblical design for the family and the best environment for raising a biological or adoptive child is one in which the child’s mother and father are married to one another and are present in the home. While legitimate and difficult circumstances often prevent this, the intentional deprivation of a mother or father through same-sex parenting and adoption, is not in the best interest of children. As such, social policy and adoption law should be governed by a desire to ensure the health and well being of future generations. Research promoting same-sex adoption and parenting is flawed Same-sex advocates are quick to assure us that children with same-sex parents are as happy and healthy as children raised in a home where a married mother and father are present. However, most of the research conducted on this issue does not directly compare the two situations and there is no reliable body of research to date. Robert Lerner, Ph.
