GIVE THE KIDS A CHANCE

So I’m watching CNN, and one of the headlines is that Florida finally lifted its 33 year old ban on gay and lesbian adoptions. Florida was the only remaining state to prohibit gay adoption in the US. Read more on this story at: 


This is really exciting speaking as a heterosexual woman. Honestly, denying children their right to be raised in a loving home is just barbaric. Regardless of where we as adults might stand on the issue of homosexuality, at the end of the day, anyone willing to provide a safe, nurturing environment for children, should be given the opportunity to do so. Wake up America. I would much rather see a child being raised by two moms or two dads, then being placed in a group home with 20 + other kids their age fighting for attention. 

Because not allowing abandoned children to have an opportunity to grow up in a loving familial environment, regardless of its makeup, is definitely some Ssssh…..you just don’t do.
