Utah one of three states to ban gay foster parents
http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid49987.asp
I thought this was interesting. Woman relapses on drugs. Has a son. Tells state to give her uncle custody of her son. State refuses, because her uncle is gay. And we are to believe that the son being put in the foster care system is superior to him living with his gay uncle. Yikes. |

Looks like allot of unanswered questions here, maybe the parents don't have a great relationship with the daughter because she is a druggie and they wish her to clean up and she is getting back at them in this way? You might want to get the whole story before going off halfcocked after reading a gay rights rag, concering how horribly the gay uncle has been treated? |

These stories do always bother me. I didn't read the article. What are the other states? Is Florida one?
There are over half a million children in foster care. To eliminate loving, gay households is absurd. |

Speaking of which, I saw "The Orphanage" over the weekend, which is a Guillermo del Toro flick (Pan's Labyrinth, Hell Boy) and it was excellent.

My brother has a gay friend in Utah that adopted a child.
The only reason he was allowed to adopt the child was 1) he was single, and 2) he didn't have a boyfriend/partner living with him. So interestingly in Utah, if you are gay and single, you can adopt. But if you are gay and have a live-in partner, you cannot. |
