Anyone who considers this just a gay issue has his head in the sand: it goes right to the core of how society deals with kids, and what, in public policy, we consider to be good parenthood. Two persons who appear to have been good parents -- no one has even suggested otherwise -- had their foster offspring taken from them. That's shameful, even if the kids hadn't then been treated badly. ---Pete Kaiser%BELKER.DEC@decwrl.arpa {allegra|decvax|ihnp4|ucbvax}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-belker!kaiser DEC, 77 Reed Road (HLO2-1/N10), Hudson MA 01749 617-568-5441
