I do, and am still "ditto-ing" Owl_Eagle. I think this opens an opportunity to discuss homosexuality with a goal of encouraging people out of a sinful lifestyle, rather than closing the door on your fellow man's potential for redemption/salvation. If the parents try to bring a pro-gay "agenda" to the school, then the school shouldn't enroll the children (which would be very unfortunate).

As for homosexual adoption, I don't think one's sexuality should be the primary criteria, but rather a loving and stable household for the child. There are plenty of heterosexuals who live in sin and mistreat/abuse the children they have and/or adopt.

Thanks for your concurrence on the first point! I do have a different view on this point though, at the current moment, there's such a long waiting list for children to adopt (parents lining up for the chance to adopt). As long as this is the case, I'd show a strong preference for stable, married, heterosexual couples. Once we get to the point where we're desperate for parents, I would consider the conversation, but that seems a long ways off.

[Note: I'm not sure of the case with children in foster homes etc., just basing it on the experiences of a family member who's been desperately trying to adopt for going on 2 years now.]

And therein lies the deception.
