And artificial insemination, which is popular with *** women. Doesn't
work well for *** men couples.

:-)

Note that a marriage between and man and a woman doesn't guarantee
children. Sometimes artificial insemination and adoption are involved
there also.

I don't know about Canada, but in the US, as I understand it, a *** man
or a *** woman can adopt a child without a problem. It's just ***
couples that are a problem. Also, many children are adopted at birth.
If the kid gets screwed up, it's the parents' fault. For another also,
child molestation is child molestation. It doesn't matter what sex the
kid or parent(s) are, or what the sexual orientation of the parent(s)
are. It's just plain illegal.

In the US, adoption is always a State matter, and I don't see how
adoption is a biological function.
