101. im willing to say I dont know
I dont know what would be best. But I still dont really get the what the arguement is to limit adoption on the basis of sexuality of the parents. maybe it could be harder for the kids? But then that is a bit too close to the arguement that hurt some friends of mine. They adopted a wee boy and after 3 years the kids crackhead father shows up, says he is clean (for 2 months) and demands his kid. The Georgia courts tore this little guy away from the only parents he had ever known to put him with a felon - because they thought it would be better and less difficult for the kid to live with parents of his same race. Now maybe that is true in a more racist than average place like here - but it is low on my list for what is best for the kid. maybe all other things being equal the hetero couple should get preference - it may be easier for the kid - but it still isnt fair and it still isnt right. You were brave to bring this up here.
