If it's a loving, safe environment, what's the issue? If indeed there are so many folks out there who have issues with same sex couples fostering a child, why aren't they volunteering to be foster parents? The child may have been placed with a same sex couple (which is sure to get a lot of whining from some) because they were an approved foster home...simple as that. This particular placement was a bad one, I'll give you that BUT it's bad due to the behaviors on individuals, not due to the behaviors of the labelled group.
