“These new Illinois findings also suggest that a child’s risk of being molested is considerably higher when their parent engages in homosexuality,” according to Cameron."

It sounds like the above statement implies that the parents were homosexual, but didn't come right out and say the children were placed knowingly with homosexual couples. What are the rules in Illinois?

I'd like to see the results based on whether the child was placed with straight or homosexual foster parents. Where the children put in danger for the sake of political correctness?

From the article:

According to a DCFS spokesman, the agency does not track the sexual orientation of prospective foster or adoptive parents. "We track our foster and adoptive parents on the basis of their being single or married. That’s it."

The article indicates that IL does not consider "sexual orientation" in determining whether a child can be placed in a home or not.

I'm sure the question is not asked of applicants, but because of circumstances (and because, these days, homosexuals seem particularly prone to announcing to the world that they are 'gay'), it is not at all unlikely that the caseworkers knew these 'couples' were homosexuals.
