Florida’s 33-year ban on gay adoption ended
24 10 2010
Florida’s 33-year ban on adoption by gay parents officially ended on Friday.
The case in question involved licensed foster parent, Frank Martin Gill, who sued for the removal of two boys in his care. The children had been living with Gill and his partner for six years and the couple wanted to adopt the boys.
Gill said in a statement: "All children deserve a chance at finding a stable, loving and permanent home. Over the 33 years of the ban, this archaic law has harmed countless foster children by denying them a forever family."
