I must have missed where it stated that most of any group adopt a specific gender.

Quote:
Dr. Goldberg found that many couples, irrespective of sexuality, had no preference for the gender of their adopted child. They were simply grateful to finally have a child and gender was insignificant in the context of their larger goal of becoming parents.

I strongly object to the dismissive and ignorant patronizing attitude of this post.

It is prejudiced, and appallingly bigoted. Condescending in the extreme.

Gay and Lesbian families are NOT "Playing House." They are REAL families whether you approve nor not.

Here we have an attempt to rob these families of what they constitute - a home with parents and children.

What a shameful and contemptible post.

All? Geez, I don't remember saying all, but every evangelical Christian that I know personally fits that description.

There are a particular set of people unfit to raise this child.

Never Buck the Natural Order of things. The judge knows this
Interesting. I never knew seahorses weren't part of the natural order of things.
