REGARDING your report "Gay parents 'blessing'" (LET, September 21) of homosexual couples adopting children. I think the idea is disgusting.

To put it bluntly, nobody else wants these children, so we will allow the gays and the lesbians to have them.

If this is allowed, what about the children themselves?

How can anyone think they will be better off?

They will probably be taunted or even bullied at school; and when they are grown up, they could even hate the two people who adopted them for putting them in such a position.
