I'm not asking how the ranking already works, but how you'd like it to be? Should single heterosexual women and single heterosexual men be placed above or below married homosexual couples? What should be ranked higher? Marital status or sexual orientation? Best argument for his or her ranking gets MHO.

"I am a very sweet girl. I was a little timid at first but I really enjoy being around people. Unfortunately my previous owner could not take care of my anymore but they said that I love to get attention. I also love to get groomed and when I get excited my whole body wiggles!

My adoption fee includes my spay / neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, 30 days of complimentary medical insurance from Trupanion Insurance, a certificate for a free veterinary exam, and a license if residing in Oceanside, Vista, Escondido, San Marcos or Poway!"

I really want a dog and have so much time and no friends.
So save, adopt, or buy? If I save my money I will slowly spend it on useless things..

Just had a discussion with my boyfriend who doesn't think he'd be able to love an adopted baby like his own, simply because it doesn't share his genes.

Do all or most men feel this way? If you answer yes, please state why you think that is and why women are more open to adoption, even though they - speaking from an evolutionary point - have a desire to pass down their own genes too?

My opinion on the subject is that it is wrong. Not because I'm religious or anything like that. It's because I feel that when someone aborts a child they aren't realizing that they ended someone's life. Adoption is always an option and don't give me the bs line of "kids will end up in foster homes" because newborns are usually adopted even before they are born because they are the most desired age for adopting.

And let's just say they feel VERY firmly on the matter. u absolutely cannot change their mind.

by the way this is just restricted to biologically. no fertilisation, surrogacy or IVF. so options of adoption and such are still available.

I'm just interested to see the psychology here between men and women on this. i know there are exceptions to gender stereotypes among u. i love exceptions to life:)

if u could, please explain why you provided the opinion u did.
