So many children need good loving homes; it is cruel to allow their needs to go unmet because of discriminatory factors. Broad research has shown that children of same sex parents do as well as children from opposite-sex unions.  I personally know a few children being raised by same sex parents and in every case I know they are beautiful well adjusted children who are so very loved and wanted.  To do right by children, the anti-discrimination provisions should be restored to the regulations.
