Study: Gay couples as fit to adopt as heterosexuals

From Reuters:

Gay or straight, the sexual orientation of adoptive parents does not have an impact on the emotional development of their children, according to a new study....

"We found that sexual orientation of the adoptive parents was not a significant predictor of emotional problems," Paige Averett, an assistant professor of social work at East Carolina University, said in a statement.

"We did find, however, that age and pre-adoptive sexual abuse were," she added.
