The gay adoption laws were challenged and the changes have been made in Florida. I'm not sure if the first test case has gone through yet (since the ruling that caused the change)......but the opinion of the Courts was that they could NOT deny gay parents the right to adopt.

The problem with that is that determined people can find ways to circumvent the "inconvenience" of law, and bigots are often the most determined of people. Just because they cannot "deny" gay parents does not mean they can't "lose" the paperwork, endlessly transfer from one person to another for no apparent reason, "lose" the child in the system, lose the paperwork again...

It takes a long time after the law for equality to arrive...just ask Jim Crow or Susan Anthony...

My new Bunn coffee maker that keeps the water reservoir going is freaking AWESOME. Great coffee so much faster. Like VV and LR. FTW! -Magnus


I LOVE my bunn coffee maker. No fancy frills on it, no clock, no timer, just awesome coffee made extremely fast. Almost didnt buy it because the price but after owning it I realize its worth every penny.

I am so in love with my Keurig and Nespresso machines! I could not live without them!

If anyone is following the MVS contest - board 5 has something dead center (letters Xos visible) and 12 has something bottom right across the ram bays (HL in red). I dont recognize what these are, but if you do then jump in and grab a prize!

I like some Lady Gaga's stuff. DS#1 is into some asian stuff - I have not idea what they are saying and neither does he! lol But he likes it. I'll take almost anything over (almost all) modern rap. And I have no idea why kids want to look like hoods or trip over their pants. And what is with the black socks and sneakers for boys? Running shorts are ugly enough, why do DS's friends wear those with black socks? (during XC practice)

Well, I decided to inquire in my other State of residency. And it appears CT is every bit as bad. Now I'm angry and depressed.

Random interjection: Hog, I knew I liked you. ;-)

I guess I'm going to have to pray for a ready made family addition at some later point in life. -Magnus

Oh Magnus... that's so sad. It sucks that a few perverts have ruined it for everyone. I am sure that there is good reason for this particular law. There are a lot of sick people out there. Not adopting to single fathers is probably the easiest way for them to protect against pedophiles. It doesn't make it right, or fair for people such as yourself, but some things are necessary evils. :(

The qualifications for being approved for adoption are extensive. The safe-guards are in place.

It might be the perception that they are protecting children from predators, however, most predators are not necessarily single......

I can't back this up with any scientific facts but having watched some of those crime shows it seems that many of the very worst ones are married and use their spouse to help them perpetrate their sickness. Like that guy that held that poor girl in his backyard for 18 years...
