Adopting in the homosexual community is nothing new. Many couples decide to build a family and consider adopting. Suppose a homosexual couple decide amongst themselves to adopt. As the child gets older, he or she realized that their family is a little different from the traditional family. Once the child gets older his/her parents decide to disclose with them that they are HIV positive. How will the now teenager react to the illness of their parents? This is something that some adopted children face in their life.
The best way to handle a situation such as this is to remain calm and supportive. Accepting that your parents are homosexual is one thing, but accepting that they both have HIV is another. Counseling is also something that one may want to consider. Getting help with these issues can help one cope with hearing this devastating news and relieve stress or anger that could be built up.
DID YOU KNOW???
"In the United States, second parent adoption is allowed for couples of the same sex in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and in Washington D.C. The other 38 states that the laws for adoption by partnerships of the same sex are ambiguous. Homosexuality has become a major social issue with civil unions and marriages of same sex couples becoming legal status in many countries. It may only be a matter of time before all these issues regarding same sex partnerships are wiped out". (HIV/AIDS,2010)

I do not see what the big deal is. If a homosexual couple want to adopt a kids, I feel that they should be able to. It really should not matter what a couples sexual preference is as long as the child is properly taken care of. And as far as accepting that your parent is a homosexual and is HIV positive, that is a double blow. I mean with time they could accept it in time, but there are a lot of adults who are in the same situation and they can not accept it. It could just depend on the person.

I agree with Victoria.. All that matters is that a child needing to be adopted will feel the love from a parent straight or gay. But what I feel would be terrible, is if they found out one or both parents have HIV, and they grow up without their parents if they succumb to the HIV virus. But if a child has a chance at being loved who can stand in the way of it? Why does it have to be prevented by law makers? But then we hear about corruption in the government, and they find themselves in a situation where they have sexual relations with people of the same sex, etc.

Although therapy has become more tolerable and once daily FDC tables have made it easier to adhere to prescribed treatment, it still requires that patients take their medication regularly to achieve sustained viral suppression. When treatment adherence is inadequate and replication is therefore not suppressed, But dr itua promised and fulfilled his promised to me as he said I will share his work to people that are suffering from Infertility, Herpes, Hepatitis A/B, Fibroid, HIV/ Aids, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Copd, Diabetes, Liver/Kidney Inflamotry, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, I have read a lot of testimony online from Jesus McKinney,Achima Abelard and Tara Omar on how dr itua heal them with his herbal medicine I contacted him on Email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then we talk on whatsapp +2348149277967 he gave me instruction on how to drink it for two weeks then after drinking it for two weeks I went for test then I find out I was cured of HIV, I thank him allot i also send him some money for appreciation, Contact this great herbal doctor if you are a sick person.
