Well..it's true..God made him. And your foster/adopt son is who he is. Whether he's straight, gay or bi-sexual, he is who he is. Knowing a gay couple or having a gay babysitter can't change your sexuality. Playing with dolls or dancing and dressing up can't make you gay just like playing sports can't make you straight. At 7, he likes what he likes. I doubt it has anything to do with his sexuality. There are some children who recognize they are somehow "different" at a young age but that's not always the case.

My (almost 2) year old foster/adopt son plays with purses, dolls & strollers. Making him play with trucks when he wants to stroll his baby would make him frustrated but it would NOT make him straight. He will be how he will be.

It's best, for your little one, to not focus on who he'll want to marry. Just let him feel his feelings. But be ready and willing to accept him regardless of his sexuality. You can't change who he'll love-regardless of how you parent him. If he feels you don't approve of him, he'll try to hide his feelings or bury them deep and this will result in more problems for him. You want him to be happy, right? So tell him you'll love him no matter who he marries.
