This is an excerpt from the New York Times interview from the June 13, 2008 issue.

Q: Even if the alternative is the kid staying in an orphanage, or not having parents.

Mr. McCain: I encourage adoption and I encourage the opportunities for people to adopt children I encourage the process being less complicated so they can adopt as quickly as possible. And Cindy and I are proud of being adoptive parents.

Q: But your concern would be that the couple should a traditional couple

Mr. McCain: Yes.

Sean recommends an article for you interested in gay adoption to all read...

Actor/Singer Same Harris with Son Atticus

The article is three pages long so I wasn't about to post it all here, but take a read and get further inspiration as I did.
