Foster homes are generally overcrowded and in high demand all the time. The love foster parents offer to unwanted children is tremendous, but stretched too thin to do much good. Group homes are often unstable and usually temporary. This creates great uneasiness in children who are shuffled from one home to another. They are unable to form the relationship skills that are important to learn at a young age to be successful in the world of an aspiring adult. A child in need of affection doesn't care where or from whom it comes, as long as they receive it.
Adoption is a strenuous and tedious task at times. There are tons of forms to be filled out, background checks, endless questions, and relentless prying eyes into one's life.

It is still illegal to adopt children in same-sex relationships in most states. The courts have endlessly tried to rule that a same-sex marriage or relationship is inappropriate and an unacceptable environment in which to raise a child. This point then raises a question. Is it better to let a child live on the streets and fend for themselves, or to allow them to live in a stable environment with loving adults (regardless of sexual preference). Parents with positive influences in children's lives are better than none, although it makes hard-headed, close-minded people uncomfortable.
