Utah Judge rules gay couples not good foster parents

Utah state child welfare officials are reviewing a ruling by a juvenile court judge who ordered a baby to be taken from lesbian foster parents because “children do better in heterosexual homes”.

Judge Scott Johansen’s order in the central Utah city of Price raised concerns at the Utah Division of Child and Family Services, spokeswoman Ashley Sumner said.

Its attorneys plan to review the decision and determine what options they have to possibly challenge the order.
