The thing that bugs me, especially since I’m a FL resident, is that FL adoption law specifically states that men or women who are homosexual may not adopt (regardless of if they are in a homosexual relationship or not).
To me, that’s like unfairly reducing the pool of potential parents for a reason that makes no sense.

Krissi, I agree. These children need love….why should it matter who the person who will give them love is attracted to?
Narrow-minded thinking….
