Op-ed: Wrong decision, SCOTUS. Foster care system needs gay parents like me – Chicago Tribune

As a lawyer who fights for foster children and their families and who routinely sees the desperate need for loving, committed partners to bring one of the 500,000 children in our foster care system into their homes, I am appalled. As someone who is fostering a 12-year-old alongside my husband, I’m aghast that the Supreme Court made a decision that will undoubtedly lead to more of the exceptionally vulnerable kids in foster care going without stable, loving homes such as the one that my husband and I have created.
