Same Sex Adoption

If you haven't caught on yet, I am a guy who is married to a guy. Which means our adoption is classified as a same sex adoption. When we were told that we would be labeled this way we were scared, what if that made someone not want us to raise their kids? What if my sexual orientation caused us to lose out on raising the kids of our dreams? I know it's stupid to think about, but this was literally what was going through our minds we were on every adoption registry out there not just listed as foster parents, biological parents could see our profile and see we were two men and decide just not to allow us to raise their child based on this one little fact. Being foster parents we also had to worry about the kids we would have placed in our house, what if their biological family has told them bad things about gay people? What if it wasn't something they understood? What if we got an older child who makes fun of gay people? So many questions were going through our minds on this topic. Luckily, our kids were raised in a pretty relaxed household where the parents both never mentioned anything about what it means to be gay. With that being said, when they were placed in our house we had to sit them down and explain to them people might make fun of them because of us. So far, no one has said anything, but it's always in the back of our minds that people can be jerks. I am so thankful for the state we live in and the area being pretty relaxed about these things and am hoping and praying that these kids grow up to be strong because of the things that may be said to them in the future.
