Ditto, Iowa, that is ridiculous to say you have to go to another state to adopt a child-WTF? Who cares if the couple that wants to adopt is of the same sex-as long as they are going to provide a loving home for these unwanted children. Why do we have to discriminate against them? I know plenty of people who came from "straight" family homes with many problems. Just b/c your parents are the traditional man and woman does not mean crap on how you are going to turn out.
I am just curious. If you want to decrease the number of children in foster care in Florida, does Florida allow the schools to talk about contraceptives or are they only allowed to teach abstinence? Just wondering as I know good old G.W. brother's the governor over there.

So basically youre saying screw the children in the foster care systems of Florida, Mississippi, and Utah - becuase we're going to cut their chances of being adopted. shouldn't children in all 50 states have an equal opportunity to be loved? It is a proven fact that gay/lesbian couples as opposed to heterosexual couples - want a child - their age, race, religion - matter less; they just want someone to nurture, love, care for - most (not all) heterosexual couples want a baby, one they can raise from infant status as their own.
personally i find the florida law ridiculous and i hope it gets over-ruled by the supreme court. the deciding factor should be what is best for the child - not the stance you take on gays/lesbians.
