They don't have any choice but to put kids with single parents, both because it would be illegally discriminatory not to,

If the law is stupid, then change the law. This is the worst argument of all.

and because there are nowhere near enough two parent homes willing to take in foster children. In fact, there aren't nearly enough homes of any kind.

Then there need to be more group facilities. Sorry, but you don't place young boys from broken homes with homosexuals just because you can't find anyone else to take them.

Oh sure, group facilities will solve everything. People who take jobs in group facilities for children and teens never have anything but the best interests of the children in mind. < /s>

Have you actually done any reading about the incidence of sexual abuse in group foster care facilities? It's rampant, both by the adults who work there, and by older children on younger ones. One group facility for boys in my area (the facility was in Norristown, PA), was found to have been allowing older boys to regularly rape younger ones, and further investigation revealed that this had been going on for years, with the full knowledge of the adults in charge, and with many rapees eventually becoming rapists themselves as they got older and were still living there.
