Traditional adoption consisted of babies being placed into middle class families with straight couples. I believe that's the ideal situation for a child to be put into, and that's what should still happen today. However, it seems as if the mission today is to diversify families as much as possible. I guess diversifying means placing babies and young kids with gay couples or singles. It is not always obvious if a person is gay or not and chances are, adoption agencies are placing children into the hands of gay singles either without knowledge of sexual orientation, or because they are afraid of being accused of discriminating against gays. Either way, adoption agencies should put the needs of the kids first, just as parents should. Would a child really grow and prosper in a gay household? Or would they be in a much more favorable situation in a middle class, "average" American family?
