Gay adoption

Dale Carpenter writes about this at the The Volokh Conspiracy:

It’s one thing to say that a married mother and father are the ideal environment for raising children; it’s another thing entirely to say that no other environment is suitable when that ideal is unavailable, as it often is for children awaiting adoption. The proposals in the states to ban gay adoptions are senseless, cruel, and unsupported by the available evidence. Such bans practically guarantee that some kids will never have a permanent home.

Read the whole thing.

I agree that gay parents are almost certainly better than the foster care system and anything that prevents that is not a good idea.
