Adoption laws and IVF?

Well, this topic has come up in college in the debate group, should IVF be legal on the NHS?
Now you could argue that everybody deserves the right to have a baby naturally... but if IVF were to become openly available would that mean that less children would be fostered and adopted?
Are adoption laws too tight? Should gay couples be allowed to adopt? Is a white family adopting biracial children Ok?
Just wondering on what people think.

I do not have a problem with gay couples fostering/adopting to a certain degree, what would concern me was if the child they adopted was bullied at school because the fact that their carers were gay. Thats the only thing I would be bothered about, kids can be horrible and an adopted kid could get a lot of bullying purely because their carers are gay.
Being gay does not mean they wont make good parents infact in some cases they would make much better parents. I know a few people who are gay and they are brilliant with kids so yeah its just the fact that a kid could get bullied from other kids.
I personally feel that if children are going to be adopted into a family, purely for the childs benefit it would be best to match them up as best as anyone can, so if there was a white child and there was two families who wanted to adopt this child and lets say one family was black and one family was white then i think the child should be allowed to stay with the white family (thats assuming that the famillies were evenly matched apart from skin colour) again purely for the bullying factor.
It is.
Yes. I understand that this has already happened, even before IVF was available on the NHS.
Yes they are too tight. If someone is capable of looking after a child then they should be allowed. Better that the child is in a loving environment than in an uncaring social services home.
