There is good and bad in all of us, no matter what sexual orientation.
I think the Churches that have been cited, are objecting to placing children for adoption with same sex couples because their(the Churches) doctrines are against it. So it is against their teachings, and therefore they feel it would be hypocritical of them to go against their teachings. The muslim faith is also against such a practice. Presently, although the Catholic Church will not allow adoption of children from the Catholic faith to be adopted by same sex couples.....they will however, direct them to adoption agencies that have no qualms about sexual orientation of adoptive parents. This is a practical response to a theological and social problem.
