Well, it's one solution vs no solution. At least no solutions that you have brought to the table. To reject a viable solution for something better that may or may not come along NOW doesn't make sense. It's like refusing treatment for a chronic condition in hopes a cure arises.
I don't think this is a viable solution. If some one has ahead ache and you say cut out their frontal lobe, and I say thats not a good idea, that does not mean you have offered a decent solution.

And I dont find that link to be much of a 'study'.

As long as they can care, love and provide for the child, then yes! Why do you believe not?

Because the lifestyles are not typical of stable households that children are born into.

Obviously, I don't think homosexual parents are akin to cutting a brain. That only really speaks to whatever issues you have with gay parents...issues that don't make sense since you haven't provided much of an argument.

What would you suggest instead of a longitudinal study? What do you consider to be 'much of study'? lol

But, growing up in the system is? How in the world does foster care remotely emulate anything healthy for a child as opposed to a permanent, stable environment?

Yes well in 1910 jim crow laws were enforced down south, and women had no choice but to stay home. So typical is not always for the best is it?

Too me, it does not matter if the home is just as stable, it is still not really appropriate, imo.
So basically you have no argument other than you don't like the idea of anything other then the nuclear family being raised? Even if it forces children to stay in group homes or being shuffled off from foster family to foster family?
