changed to: adoption story Re: AAP's Policy on same-sex adoption

sexual orientation. Getting into med school was a piece of cake compared to being approved for a child!

Different subject than original post, but relevant to this comment: some very close friends of our family had been approved to be able to adopt. This adoption agency attempted to match parent/adoptive-parent requests. Our friends had requested the child be at least 50% Caucasian (she is Caucasian, African American and American Indian - she is simply gorgeous :) - the parents requested that she be found a home outside of the city type life they had growth up in, our friends live in a mountain ski town to remain nameless; they were a perfect match all around. Our friends were told on a Monday that they should expect to actually be parents in 18-24 months. On Thursday that week they were called and told to come to Big City the next morning to pick up their daughter. Talk about unprepared parents!!! No pregnancy (a while to get ready), no 18-24 months to get ready. My wife (pediatrician) got many calls :) and things are absolutely great 10 years later.
