Should morbidly obese people be allowed to foster and/or adopt children?

Gary Stocklaufer weighs 500 pounds. He said a family court judge ruled this week that he wasn't fit enough to be an adoptive father. Stocklaufer is a state-certified foster parent. He and his wife, Cynthia, had taken in baby Max from a cousin who couldn't raise him. The couple also has an adopted son named Bobby. Stocklaufer said he and his wife wanted to formally adopt Max, so they went to family court and expected quick approval. They didn't get it. Stocklaufer said his weight should remain immaterial to his being an adoptive father.
