New Virginia Adoption Rules Permit Anti-Gay, Gender, Disability And Other Forms Of Discrimination | ThinkProgress


As an adoptive parent that just finalized on our little girl, this article makes me sick. What is a family today? It can be anything. Sexual orientation does not matter. Religion does not matter. Single parents should be able to adopt. Just because I am liberal, should that exclude me from adoption? Should Muslims be able to adopt? Why sure! ANY LOVING FAMILY should have the ability to adopt a child. After all, this would give the child a stable loving environment to grow up in. To excel in. Why would Virginia be so narrow minded on what constitutes a family when they have 6,000 children in the foster system. Wouldn't you want the most options for stable, loving families? Even if that means it does not follow the 1950's version of a family? Virginia's Board of Social Services makes me sick... As an adoptive father, I know there are children in need. You are only hurting the CHILDREN...
