I grew up without parents, so my opinion is in no way influenced by a 'normal childhood,' but rather by experience.

How and why is that the adoption agency's business? Gay couples should be able to answer questions their children have without having these answers fielded by the agency. To be quite honest, this procedure is extremely homophobic as you're not employing the same standard with heterosexual parents. There are several important questions children ask their parents, and I feel your suggestion is unfair to homosexual couples as you're assuming heterosexual couples are better prepared at facing complex questions their children may have than homosexual couples.
