To give that child a chance of being in a family (which is the most precious thing in the world) when they would have no family at all is a beautiful thing and the MOST important thing!
As for the first one, the thing it comes down to is marriage rights. From a practical point of view, it doesn't have to be called a 'marriage' to be a marriage. The only reason why this term is important is because of the rights one have when married (for tax purposes, etc). So to keep the traditionalists happy, call it something else, and to keep the homosexuals happy, give them the same rights as one would have in a traditional marriage!
So yes to both.
