I would have to disagree with you on your last sentence. But not because of abuse or lack of discipline or something like that. But due to the fact that the world is still mixed up on the subject on it being right or wrong. Now you are suggesting that you take a child out of foster care and let him be adopted by two people who are fighting for the right to be able to walk down the street without being ridiculed? That doesn't make any sense. I'm not saying they couldn't be good parents but taking a child out of a bad situation and putting it into one that isn't exactly great isn't a good idea

Interesting...I personally know several gay couples that adopted someone from the foster system, and one in particular; their son graduated valedictorian of a class size of 358 students, received a full scholarship to medical school, has dated and is engaged to an absolute beautiful lady, was their star athlete in both football and basketball, and is very active in their church and his parents have been and continue to be supporters of other gay couples wanting to be parents to children that other heterosexual people/couples have given up. If you knew this young mans COMPLETE story, (and the story of so many other children adopted by gay people) and see the love that he has for his gay parents, the support, belief, admiration, dedication, then you could not longer make the assumption of "taking a child out of a bad situation and putting it into one that isn't exactly great isn't a good idea" any longer. That statement is soooo judgmental, degrading and solely based upon personal opinion and fear.
