Donaldson Adoption Institute, which is based in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, about 129,000 U.S. children are in foster care, many of whom are older, have special needs and face grim prospects for finding a loving, permanent home.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the emotional hardships, a national ban on gay adoptions could add $87 million to $130 million to foster care system expenditures each year, the report said, citing previous research. Not only would children who are removed from gay and lesbian homes be placed in group or institutional care, which is more costly, the state would incur the costs of recruiting and training new foster parents, researchers found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent non-partisan study reached a &#8220;universal professional consensus&#8221; that same-sex couples should universally be included in the adoption pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[1392,218,10],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Study says: U.S. needs adoption rights for gay and lesbian parents - Proud Parenting<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/2008\/09\/study-says-u-s-needs-adoption-rights-for-gay-and-lesbian-parents\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Study says: U.S. needs adoption rights for gay and lesbian parents - Proud Parenting\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A recent non-partisan study reached a &#8220;universal professional consensus&#8221; that same-sex couples should universally be included in the adoption pool.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/2008\/09\/study-says-u-s-needs-adoption-rights-for-gay-and-lesbian-parents\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Proud Parenting\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ProudParenting\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2008-09-25T16:26:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Editorial Staff\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Editorial Staff\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/2008\/09\/study-says-u-s-needs-adoption-rights-for-gay-and-lesbian-parents\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/2008\/09\/study-says-u-s-needs-adoption-rights-for-gay-and-lesbian-parents\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Editorial Staff\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/#\/schema\/person\/bd1f88f6dfdb00b831bfdda339ec5cf9\"},\"headline\":\"Study says: U.S. needs adoption rights for gay and lesbian parents\",\"datePublished\":\"2008-09-25T16:26:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2008-09-25T16:26:30+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/2008\/09\/study-says-u-s-needs-adoption-rights-for-gay-and-lesbian-parents\/\"},\"wordCount\":172,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Evan B.
