It is perfectly fine legally, but I suspect there may be still many roadblocks for gay couples who want to adopt. I know there were in 2003 when a lesbian couple I knew were foster parents for a girl. They were excellent parents for her, did everything by the book...Yet when it came to adoption, the girl was given to a straight couple. Imagine the devastation of two women who got so bonded with the girl, and the girl bonded with them!
A couple of years ago I was on a plane flying from the East Coast to my area. There were two gay men with a couple of twin girls, recent adoptees. These guys were so good about the girls, fussing around them, feeding them...so happy. I wonder what they had to go through to adopt these girls.
Just wanted to know other people's opinions. I do not have many gay friends who choose to adopt but maybe other people do?
