That policy statement was reaffirmed in 2009.
The American Psychological Association found that "same-sex couples are remarkably similar to heterosexual couples, and that parenting effectiveness and the adjustment, development and psychological well-being of children is unrelated to parental sexual orientation."
the Child Welfare League of America's official position with regard to same-sex parents is that "lesbian, gay, and bisexual parents are as well-suited to raise children as their heterosexual counterparts."
And if you believe that, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell. And some oceanfront property in Arizona.
Children deserve a father and a mother. That's what nature intends. Any other arrangement may be adequate, but it's not optimal.
The world isn't perfect...time to accept that...I would much prefer a kid grow up with a loving gay family over a state run foster program...for some kids those are their only options.
True, but don't you think they will demand equal access to the healthy white babies that all the good heterosexual couples want as well? And call it a cute name like "Family Equality".

so you're a racist too? My Aunt is gay...got married in New York...and they just adopted back here in Memphis...got a 6 year old black boy...no one cares what color he is...they're a great family.
I'm racist bc healthy white babies are in high demand? It isn't my fault... my wife and I are capable of producing our own babies.
