		<description><![CDATA[What about the Separation of Church and State? Just because a person doesn&#039;t have the same beliefs as another does not make them a bad person. I feel as if Morals and Ethics are more important than Church. Period! A child brought up in  a gay household should have no bearing on whether or not It is safe. It is deemed safe if the person&#039;s MORALS and ETHICS are in tack, and can be taught to the youth being adopted. This is why we have issues with kids never being adopted, or fostered, then trying to make it on their own when they reach adulthood, with no family support. This is why those numbers are surprising low for a child who doesn&#039;t get adopted or permanently placed to succeed. WAKE up America, OUR forefathers put into act the separation of CHURCH and STATE for a reason. I don&#039;t care if you like that some one is gay, no one asked you to think about their private act, that should be private anyway. Where do your minds go? Really.   UGH!!! I&#039;m not gay, but my Brother is, he is 14. And let me tell you, I support him all the way. Regardless. FIDTS]]></description>

Bad policy, bad use of taxpayer funds that only hurts kids and further reduces the opportunities for more parents to take kids from foster care to loving homes.]]></description>
