| Message | You are a disgusting elitist. I come from a single parent family, a family that has managed to provide for me an excellent education and a wonderful family environment. By prohibiting single-parent adoption, not only are you disenfranchising the would-be parent, you are eliminating an entire source of potential adoptors, thus further ruining the life of an orphaned or unwanted child. This is discriminatory garbage; I call upon all other parties to oppose this bill. |

| Message | Where once the family was the stable foundation upon which all else was built, today its shattered remnants are the source of much of what troubles society. Without a sense of ethics, our society will crumble - much like those of the US and the UK. |

| Message | We apologise for labeling you as a disgusting elitist; it was unneccessary and childish on our part. We cannot, however, accept the notion that regulating adoption to couples only will improve morality in our nation as a positive source of change. Our society will only crumble if the doctors, lawyers, scientists, teachers, politicians, factory workers, and waste management technicians of the future lack parents because of laws prohibiting caring, responsible single individuals from giving them the home that they deserve. |

| Message | We agree with the current largest party, Sozialbundnis. Do you have any proof that single parented families create the troubles of crumbling ethics? Where is your evidence in that? |
