I didn’t say “ignore” it, the sad part is that there is a disproportionate percentage of foster children in this countries prison population, “ignoring” that the ideal foster situation is NOT with people who practice perversion is where you turn a blind eye. And basing your opinion on anecdotal “data” is juvenile.
Yes. Maybe it's time to try something else.

I don't have starry eyes about the ideal hetrosexual two parent family. These also seem to have far too many instances of physical, emotional, sexual and finacial abuse.
Actually we were originally discussing one member of the "couple" being a "natural" parent, that segued into the permanent situation of adoption, and was contrasted with being bounced from temporary family to temporary institution and back again.
I believe a permanent stable family is better than constant uprooting, even if the family is a little (or a lot) odd.
My father was a career Marine, and we could count on being uprooted just about the time my friendships would solidify. I still find it hard to let anyone get too close.
I am loathe to even try to imagine what it is like for someone who was not only jerked from school to school, neighborhood to neighborhood, and city to city, but didn't even have the relative stability of keeping the same set of parents!
