No they don't. Child molesters have victims. Paedophiles are adults who are sexually attracted to young children. They are free to do so as long as they aren't breaking any laws. Society, as a whole, may frown on their attraction, but have no right interfere with the paedophile unless he gives in to urges & commits an illegal act.
Fair enough. But still, if during the adoption process it turns out the person looking to adopt is a paedophile, should we give them the child? In the same way, if during the adoption phase it turns out the couple looking to adopt are homophobes or racists or Nazis should we let them adopt? There obviously needs to be a vetting process when looking for potential people to adopt so if its not there to spot these sorts of signs of homophobia, racism or sexual pervertedness (which surely are all signs of less than ideal candidates, to say the least) whilst also looking for any threat to a potentially adopted child what is it there for?
