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.
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.]

Again, I agree with you in that I would also give adoption preference to loving, stable, hetero households. I was simply referring to a flat-out adoption denial to loving, stable, homo households, which I would consider to be wrong. Some may call it discrimination or treating homos as "second-class citizens," but I say adoption also requires moral considerations, based on Judeo-Christian principles of our country. Mixing Church and State? I don't think so, just using common sense.
