Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

We should abolish all adoptions in favor of guardianships as current adoptions violate the United Nations rights of the child articles 7,8,9,10,11.20, and 21. Guardianship status should not be determined via orientation.

neither of them should have the right to adopt children

No, let straight families have doctors forge adoption papers to hide mental illness instead.

They should be able to adopt, but religious entities should not be forced to serve them.

Yes, but priority should be given to the wellbeing of the child over benefits to the parents

its up to them i dont really care

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks, but individual adoption agencies (especially religious adoption agencies) should not be forced to violate their beliefs.

I believe if the child is old enough to understand, they should be able to choose if they want a mother and father structure.

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples and household income is weighed to ensure that the wellbeing of every child takes priority over the desires of the prospective parents
