I would also like to suggest that those who supported the foster ban in Arksansas, or who think children who would have otherwise found homes with gay parents remain in foster care step up and consider becoming foster parents themselves.

The State of Arkansas had to close 13 foster homes in October due to suspected abuse and neglect.

Not one person who stopped gays from adopting would be willing to adopt the "unwanted" gay couples so lovingly took into their homes. People make me sick to my stomach sometimes.
