EXCLUSIVE LESBIAN ADOPTION: Wally Kosterman

[Wally Kosterman is a Professional Engineer, father of four, living in Calgary, Alberta.]

Quoting this 365Gay.com news story:

"Social workers have told a British court that two children must only be adopted by a lesbian couple because their birth mother was in a same-sex relationship. ...For the past year the young boy and girl have been living with heterosexual foster parents. The reason the children came into the care of the council has not been revealed.

"Social workers told a Family Proceedings Court judge that the situation is similar to that of a child of black or Jewish parents who should be adopted into a family of the child's racial or cultural background."

Wouldn't the same argument hold the other way? That the experience of infants raised in heterosexual households preclude adoption by same-sex couples for similar reasons? Couldn't this proposal by the British court, if widely adopted, put an end to adoption by same-sex couples?
