You asked the workers if they had any gay kids? What kind of a question is that?! This is not an anti gay comment, but obviously most people are not gay. That means there is a good chance these kids are not even if they think they are. They are so messed up and have been through so much that to be labeled gay by an adult figure is horrible.Let them grow into their sexuality and see for themselves. I didn't know until after age 18. I do think you should talk with the child about your sexuality and I am glad you brought it up. I am concerned about your parenting now though. Some of those children WILL turn out gay and the social worker should have set you straight. The SW said we have no gay kids to you to straighten you up. I would listen to the SW and do not nose into the child's personal sexual feelings about the opposite sex. Even if they are attracted to the same sex, there is more of a chance they will turn out normal unless you push it on them and they don't ever have the accurate knowlede/perspective to reolize those feelings may only be present for a reason and don't jump to label themselves. They have been labeled enough by society ( ADD, RAD, ADHD etc..)
