To be able to give children up for adoption is one of the best options that a parent may have. We all know of girls both young and old that birth babies and don't have the support of the child's father or other family members. While the situations are not ideal, the hopes of placing a child with a family that can adequately care and nurture is really the major consideration for those that elect placing a child up for adoption. All states are required to have home studies to determine appropriateness for placing a child in ones home. Potential parents that are gay do not meet the criteria for adoption in some states while other states take different approaches. My personal opinion is that childrens should be placed with a mother and father. Unfortunately, the number of parents, especially AA, is not in great demand. Professionally, the bottom line is what is ones ability to parent. In this regard it should not matter if couples are the same sex as long as they are able to adequately address the issue of personal choices.
