Q: President Bush believes that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt children. Do you agree with that?
Mr. McCain: I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don’t believe in gay adoption.
Only Florida currently bans adoption by all same sex couples. There are about 65,000 children who have been adopted by gay or lesbian couples nationwide, and I doubt any of them would have preferred to float through the foster care system.

See what a "test essay" is in the introduction to my previous essay.
A recent email I received was pretty typical - I won't quote it here because the person meant well, but the sum up was this - they laud my decision to adopt, argue that I should have done it earlier, and point out that adoption is the solution to the population crisis.
Gwenyth Paltrow has one. So does Angelina Jolie, U2's Bono, Meg Ryan, and Mia Farrow. Now Madonna wants one too. No, I'm not talking about the latest Dior sunglasses or Fendi purse (although I'm sure it would look fab on Bono)---the "in" accessory lately seems to be African orphans.
I found this trackback to an angry and not terribly coherent response to my post about Catholic Charities pulling out of the adoption business.

I 100% agree with John McCain!
Adoptive children of gay parents are playground hamburger.
That has to be a great way to grow up!
To avoid this the gay parents will need school vouchers so they can send the kids to Lalaland schools where everybody is a winner every day!
Russ; Good for you. What America needs most is less children in happy homes.
DaPrez; You just used one of the same arguments that was used when anti-miscegenation statutes were being overturned. Kudos!
