Okay, so I am writing a letter in response to one in our city’s paper that was terribly ignorant, and presented outdated, and simply false, information.
Most of it is easy to argue against, but the author brought up one point that I know is dumb, but I don’t know how to word my response. It seems kind of irrelevant.
He presented (correct) statistics about rates of abuse. It found that rates were lowest in households with married, biological parents, highest in households with one parent and an unmarried partner, and in between those two for single parent households, and households with a married couple with an adopted kid. He ended that portion with this:
"So, the best the children of same-sex couples can hope for, even if the parents are married, is an outcome statistically four times worse than children whose biological parents are married."
Once again, I know that argument is wrong. But I am not quite sure what to say against it.
Help!
Thanks everyone for the responses. I have actually worked it out. He conveniently left out some other statistics, and I am using the adoption argument as well.
And Shaun, our town’s newspaper is crazy. It lets super long letters in. =]

I am 23 years old, had sex out of wedlock w/ my boyfriend of 4 months. I was on the pill but was taking antibiotics that I had no idea hinder the pill and got pregnant. My boyfriend didn’t love me and left. One minute I feel like I would die for this child and do everything to take care of it. I have a 25K a year job, two and a half years college experience and a very supportive family. I feel that I could emotionally and financially be there for this child even if its on my own.
Then, the next minute the idea of me being a single parent comes crashing down on me. I fear loneliness, and I worry if I’m strong enough for this situation. After all I was not prepared for this. But I also don’t know if I could handle the emotional toll of an adoption. I am literally on a rollercoaster here. I am still in touch w/ my ex’s parents who are devout Christians and believe that it’s in the childs best interest to be in a two parent home w/ parents who are ready.
I just hate the discrimination I am getting from his family now that I am on my own with this. I understand that two parents usually are better than one, but I don’t think statistics mean Sh_t when it comes to the individual. Why am I being pulled in so many directions? Is this a sign I am not ready or is this normal? I would LOVE to hear from mothers who gave up their child for adoption and see what they have to say.
Thank you for your belief in me "justnuissance" but I said adoption not abortion. I am pro life.

this is where one person , not married , adopts a child ( just in case you a need clarification).
Imagine this person is financially stable , has a good house or apartment and has a wonerful supporting family. Also this person works at a daycare so she can bring her child to work with her.
Please give me reasons on wh , if so to you , its wrong/not a good idea. I think i might consider it when im old enough and stable in my life.
