Answer:

A ban on gay and lesbian individuals being allowed to foster could displace 9,000 to 14,000 children if pursued nationally.

Such a national ban on GLB (Gay Lesbian Bi-sexual) foster care could cost from $87 to $130 million. The costs to individual states could range from $100,000 to $27 million.
