It is fair and proper to look at both a person's medical, financial, and criminal history before considering them for an adoptive parent. The best interest of the child must come first.

I'm aware of the process of adoption. I'm also aware how the Courts handle cases determining the best interest of the child. In my experience, no Court asks whether you prefer to sleep with your own sex or the opposite sex when determining this. They base it on much more relevant factors as whether the parents are able to nurture the emotional and physical development of the child and whether they are suitable to make important decisions for the child regarding medical, educational, social and religious matters.
I believe you missed my point completely that a homosexual couple would make a suitable couple for adoption should they meet all the same requirements as a heterosexual one. I believe your point was that even if they met these requirements, you would prefer to see the homosexual couple not given a child based on the fact they have sex with a partner of the same sex.
