Your example is noted (although some research / evidence would be helpful in backing your story up). However, this is one failed adoption out of hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of succesful adoptions; of course there is going to be instances such as the one you described (in statistics it's called the normal distribution). Adoption is notorious for its red tape and cost which I think is one contributing reason to why so many are left unadopted; people just don't want to deal with that stuff and it's sad.
At the risk of repeating myself, I believe that homosexual couples are INCAPABLE of providing a proper environment necessary for the successful upbringing of a child. I am not saying that gays are less compasionate than ordinary people and their willingness to adopt is admirable. However, people are selfishly thinking about their own desire for a child and not what is best for him / her. One would think that first rule of parenting would be to put the child, not oneself, first.
