What a misleading article! It intones the general public is in favor or gays adopting kids, but it is the politicized adoption agencies, hamstrung by laws, that are just allowing gays to adopt.

Officials in Florida have taken a similar stance in defending their ban. Attorney General Casey Walker argued in court that the state has a right to legislate its "moral disapproval of homosexuality" and its belief that children need a married mother and father.

Now if the state would only legislate its "moral disapproval of killing by starvation."

The surprising thing to me is the average American public has been able to hold out even this long. Even the continual waves of the water will erode even the strongest rock. The continual waves of main stream media propaganda are wearing down even the most moral people. It's a scientific psychological principle that cannot be denied. If the media were pushing the opposite message, then the results would be reversed. The answer, in my opinion, is for conservatives to get involved again in all levels of politics, including local politics and take back the positions where the decisions that affect us from our day to day lives are made. It took us forty years to lose the institutions and it might take another forty years to take them back but we need to start doing it.

what they don't say is that many social workers who decide these cases are gay...I know of two Christian families who were denied adoption on minor details that had nothing to do with the family's fitness:

One was an ex nun and her husband, denied because they were too "rigid" in answering the questions about what they would do if their teenaged child wanted to go on the pill, and the devout couple said they would discuss with their child that it was wrong, and not allow it. The social worker turned them down for being too "rigid"...

another a pastor and his wife denied because they were not the right "minority" even though the tribe supported their adoption of a special needs child.

Later, the lesbian white social worker handling the case made a snide remark to the tribal social worker saying that she didn't feel right for a Chrisitan to adopt an Indian child. (the child's mother was born again Christian). The Indian social worker replied sweetly: Ah, but you see, we support the adoption because we have freedom of religion on our reservation...
