Poor article. There is a great difference between being a foster parent and adopting. The article goes back and forth between two completely different concepts and really gives nothing of value to the reader.

I am a great believer in the Second Amendment. I am also the holder of a concealed carry permit. Having said that, if this couple really wants to either be foster parents or adopting parents, they must follow the guidelines set forth by the applicable state bureau. In my opinion, they need to comply with the rules or give up their efforts. To be honest, it makes one wonder just how devoted this couple is to being parental figures. Possibly they are more interested in carrying weapons.

At one time, prior to my semi-retirement from the legal profession, I was considered the expert in regard to adoptions, terminations of parental rights, and foster situations in my part of the Commonwealth. Thus, I know the subject from personal involvement.
