No U.S. state bans gay adoption. Utah bans single people (of any sexual orientation) from adopting.
However, as of 2017, in several states, gay couples are routinely denied adoption, even though there is no ban in effect:
Gay adoption is legal in all 50 states, but laws vary greatly regarding joint adoption and step-parent adoption.
Gay adoption is normal adoption. It's just as normal as any other kind of adoption. Also, in the United States, we don't have different rights for gay people adopting vs straight people adopting.
There aren't any rational or sociological reasons to ban gay adoption. Studies show kids thrive in households headed by same-sex couples. If you are trying to argue the point against gay adoption, you can't even use the Bible to condemn it, because it was never mentioned in the Bible.
Adoption law varies by state, but in the US, all 50 states allow gay people to adopt, though as of 2017, gay people are still routinely denied adoption based on discrimination.
Adoption laws vary by state, but as of 2014, All states except Utah allow single gay people to adopt, and about 25 states allow full joint adoption for gay couples.
There is no such phrase as a "ban gay".
No US State has a ban against gay people.
Gay people are allowed to adopt in every U.S. state except Utah. There is no longer a restriction on single gay people adoption. Furthermore, as of 2014, 25 states allow joint adoption by gay couples.
Yes. In fact, as of 2013, 20% of gay couples in the United States are raising children, most often due to adoption.

As of December 2013, Marco Rubio opposes gay adoption.
Adoption in the United States falls under state law. As of 2014, there are 22 states plus Washington DC that allow gay couples to adopt. The Law in each of these states originated with different bills.
