I see no difference.

The howl usually raised by the anti-gays is their claim that gays only want to adopt children so they can molest them. But among the gay couples I know who have adopted children this is simply not the case. The children are certainly well cared for and cherished. And I know of at least two children, adopted from a Chinese orphanage, who are having and will continue to have a far better life than they would have had if they had not been adopted.

With many heterosexual married couples, children just happen, and, in far too many cases, are not necessarily wanted, or come along at inconvenient times.   This can lead to all kinds of domestic difficulties.

But with a same-sex couple, obviously the child is wanted.

That, despite its unconventionality, is far preferable to being an unwanted or inconvenient child.
