I suspect the concern is there because pedophiles have a very strong preference for one sex or the other , not both. .
So what?
The state doesn't place children with known pedophiles. Are you suggesting we operate on the assumption that everyone is a pedophile? Seems a little harsh-- Especially when you find the rare parent who will take in kids with a troubled past (which again-- tend to be boys in the system).
You asked why other posters picked up on the fact and made comment that the two men adopted only male children. You asked for an explanation of why they seemed concerned. I gave you a possible reason. Nothing more, nothing less. Sheesh
Don't ask questions if you don't want to get answers.

I think to suspect pedophilia simply because this couple adopted boys, ties together homosexuality and pedophilia in a way in which , in reality, there is no correlation.
If a married hetero couple adopted only girls, would you have an "a-ha" moment if the father was accused of molestation? I doubt it.
Linking homosexuality and pedophilia is harsh... No interpretation needed beyond that.

And no, because that's not the same situation. I do think this could be a case of false allegations, but it does seem odd that these two fathers would only adopt boys.
We could sit here and speculate all day long, but nobody knows the truth except for those kids and their dads.
Mlassof- You're looking for an argument where there is none. You're making assumptions about me when you don't know me or anything about me - what is your problem ??? What's the purpose of this personal attack ?
There actually is no correlation between pedophilia and adult sexual preference. Being straight or gay
with other adults has no bearing on being a pedophile.
In other words, you can be straight or you can be gay as a sexual preference or you be be a pedophile which is another sexual preference. Then you also have the Jerry Sandusky type who can marry and have relations with an adult and continue to have relations with an adult but whose primary attraction over the years become focused on children of one sex. Many pedophiles are in sexual relations with other adults.
Being gay and having young boys around does not make one a pedophile. Being straight and having young boys around does not make one a pedophile. Being sexually attracted to young children of either sex and seeking them out and having them around and doing things to them does make one a pedophile.
Go do some research so you get this organized in your head.
And if you're projecting insecurities- please stop. We know you're gay, we know you may want to adopt and guess what- please do so. I'm sure you'll be a fine parent. No one would ever consider you for being a pedophile because you're gay and have male or female children. Live your life, may it be a good one.- But we're not discussing you- the topic if conversation is what's going on in Glastonbury- stop being defensive and projecting.
The Glastonbury case needs to play itself out at trial. So let's stop the personal attacks on me and keep to the topic at hand.

mlassoff, I agree with willow. It seems you're blindly defending these guys because they're like you.
The fact that they were all males just seems...weird.
