If the local community has negative views about Republicans, for example- is it incumbent upon the responsible parties to prevent such adoptions?
Wrong- the overriding concern should be the welfare of the children- not on the snowflakes in the community who can't handle the idea of gays or Republicans adopting children.
Yes, of course. The standard needs to be the community in which the child will be raised. Once again, orphaned children are not a venue to advance social causes.
I really have no idea why I have to argue this. It is as apparent as your pathology.
