Hi there, I too am part of a lesbian couple who is in the process of foster licensing with the intention of foster to adopt. We have been met with nothing but open doors at this point. Our homestudy is just a few weeks away from completion (the fire inspector was dragging his feet), and I've called a few workers in other states about kids (we're in NC).
Everyone, and I mean everyone, has been open and willing to work with us.
The catch for us (living in Jesse Helms' state) is that only one of us may adopt. We do know another couple that worked around that. The non-adopting partner "sued" the other for joint custody, and a judge signed off on it.
I have wondered the same thing as you though, but so far it doesn't seem to be the case.
Best of luck!
