Apart from the bullying they might encounter (thanks to xtian and other religious assholes), as long as they have a strong support group (grandparents, etc) and loving family, I don't see why there should be a problem.
More salient to the point: Can these people show that a child is better off in foster care or a children's home---statistically more probable to be subjected to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, rarely with real structure, continuity, or love---or in the loving care of a same-sex couple? I don't think even the most liberal person would argue that a child is not better off in the care of both biological parents, if those parents have even a moderately healthy relationship. But the fact of the matter is, there is a large need for taking the pressure off of the foster system in this country, and there are a lot of homosexual couples willing to take that burden for the sake of having their own families.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
