I am sure that there will be the same successes and problems when gay couples adopt, as there are when straight couples adopt. It will be interesting to review the data in the times to come. My money would probably be on gay couples doing slightly better in the short term, since they will doubtless know they will be under a microscope.

I have a relative by marriage.... who had a daughter with her first husband. A beautiful girl but rotten apple... Since my introduction to her she has had a baby out of wedlock... The second child out of wedlock was born with a disease that she had inadvertently gotten when exposed to birds in the jungle gardens in which she worked. It had prolonged hospitalization costing over a hundred thousand dollars but the baby died. The third child, also out of wedlock.... is now two and a half. The other day a call came to her mother from the boyfriend that he could not wake Jill up. She had taken an overdose of H... After a day in the hospital she recovered. In the interim her mother found that there was no food in the house, the children had not been fed and the baby has black and blue marks over him and a burn on his foot so he cannot walk. The girl was on probation anyway as she had been selling oxycontin and was caught. Since the marriage the daughter has not been able to hold a job, has been arrested for taking a customers car from the car dealership where she was working, to use for the week end... Now, what is going to happen to these two children.. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could be adopted and given a loving home regardless where it was two heterosexual partners or not.... I think so.
