This thread has run its course. I've certainly learned quite a bit about our fellow members in this thread.
Just wanted to address a few points in the close that have to do with legalities:

| Have you informed yourself on the LAW in Switzerland regarding homosexual adoption?! The views that I and others expressed is what is currently the law here in Switzerland! This is a SWISS forum is it not!? | |

Just because it's the law now doesn't mean A) it's a good law that benefits society/children or B) that said law can't or won't be changed in the future.

| No, but I resent being called a homophobe when we are resident in a country where homophobia is criminalised and same sex adoptions banned. My stance is not homophobic, as I said originally, I prioritise the rights of children over same sex parents. | |

I don't believe homosexuality is a criminal offense, given that same-sex couples can register partnerships in Switzerland. If it was criminal, then no one would register because they'd all get convicted of a crime. ;)
Edit - I mis-read the post by TC.

| Is artificial insemination even permitted for single women (gay or not) in Switzerland yet?  | |

Last I recall, this was true if you wanted the procedure done by a medical professional in Switzerland. However a number of neighboring countries will do insemination regardless of sexual orientation or marital status, and the Swiss can't do anything about it.
