Beyond the risk of making these children orphans, those who are housed with AIDS patients are also at risk.

I have never heard that a person can get AIDS from living with an AIDS patient. AIDS is spread by sexual contact and intravenous drug use. Besides, I don't think adoption agencies would place a child with someone sick with AIDS.

My response to your implied question:

Quoted from the same scientific study I cited earlier”

>>> Death and disease accompany promiscuous and unsanitary sexual activity. 70% to 78% of gays reported having had a sexually transmitted disease. The proportion with intestinal parasites (worms, flukes, amoeba) ranged from 25% to 39% to 59%. As of 1992, 83% of U.S. AIDS in whites had occurred in gays.

Those who treat AIDS patients are at great risk, not only from HIV infection, which as of 1992 involved over 100 health care workers,21 but also from TB and new strains of other diseases. <<<

AIDS, which I mentioned, is one of several “blood borne pathogens.” Unfortunately, despite the term, “blood borne pathogens,” blood is far from the only body fluid that can transmit the diseases. It is possible to contract these diseases from almost any body fluid under the right circumstances with a long enough and intense enough exposure… i.e., constantly living in close proximity and using the same household fixtures, etc.

As to the adoption agency responsibility for placing children with homosexuals, the post speaks to this issue adequately… it is obviously happening. What is to prevent these diseases from infecting the children after they have been placed, i.e., a post placement infection of the adopting parties?

I hope this has answered your question.
