I think it was constitutionally a correct decision. I think that the state has a good argument for banning homosexual adoption. However, if they permit long term foster care by homosexuals, they vitiate their own argument. Additionally, if they provide for single adoption, they have a weak case for discriminating, unless there are reasons for a case worker specifically to question the stability of the home. Finally, it would be preferable, in many instances, for the child to have some family that cares for him, rather than no family. So, as far as the law goes, I think that homosexual couples should be treated as if it were an adoption by a single person. Preference should be given a two parent heterosexual home, but not to the point of keeping the child institutionalized for an overly long period..........
