Check out the 7th paragraph of this story (Oh, heck…read the whole thing, but the 7th paragraph has me scratching my head. I am clearly missing something.):
McCain interview, New York Times
OK, yes…it’s preferable to have two parents and yes, they both play an important role, but isn’t more about having two parents to share the burden/nurturing load, rather than having two parents that are different genders? He really thinks it’s better for those kids to stay in group homes or foster care, where they have NO parents, than to place them with a loving gay couple that wants to have them? REALLY?
Hubby makes a good point that this is a moot point, because adoption regulations really don’t fall under the purview of the Presidency, so McCain’s really just pandering to the right wingers when he makes this statement. Gay adoption isn’t going to be something that he will really be changing regulations on. It really falls under state regulations or is up, maybe, to the individual agency that is making the placement, but still….isn’t gay adoption just a ridiculous thing to be AGAINST?
