Perhaps that isn't the point. But they do not provide a father in a home where two or more adults live together and Utah considers this a detriment to the child in that home. These two lesbians may have their own kids naturally, but the state of Utah has control over the foster kids. These very vulnerable children aren't going to be forced into "take what you can get" just because of their unfortunate situation. The state of Utah seeks to provide the very best homes for them. These are married homes with both a mother and father. If you live together and want to adopt in Utah, make sure you're married. That's rule #1. Rule #2 is your marriage had better provide both a mother and father.Except these two women are not sexual deviants.
This country doesn't do what's best for children, and never has. Were that true most people wouldn't be raising children, they are unfit to be parents. Just because you can make a baby doesn't mean you know how or are worthy of raising it...
When the custody of a child passes over to a state, that state is its new guardian. Birth children stuck in their parents' homes are under their custody. Foster kids are in the state's custody. So, the state determines what situations constitute the proper home to place them in. Otherwise you'd have child traffickers posing at "loving homes" lining up in the streets outside adoption agencies and the state would have to be forced to let kids go to them because "at least they'd be going to a loving home".
States have to be hyper-vigilant about their very vulnerable wards because it is precisely this vulnerable demographic that have been throughout human civilization, preyed upon by the deviants and the evildoers. Once you relax the standards for one group, "equality" means they'll have to be relaxed for others.
When, and not if polygamy becomes forced on the 50 states in the next 5 years or less, we will have them following in the road the gays paved for them when it comes to "adopting a child to a married home".
This judge did the right thing. He can see into his crystal ball and logic can easily show him where this is all heading: a free for all with adoptable kids using inferior "marriages" as the shoehorn to get at them "legally".
