That IS a horrible story, and like other commenters here, I hurt for those poor boys. But - suggesting that " When gays were allowed to adopt was a sad day indeed. " may be going a bit too far. I have known several guys throughout my career that were gay, and in what they would call a "loving relationship", some married to their same-sex partner. And while it perhaps strikes a heterosexual person as "odd" - it does me, to a degree - but if they chose to adopt, I would be all for it. That said - there are many involved in heterosexual relationships that should NEVER have had children .... or been permitted to adopt.
