Miami judge rules against Fla. gay adoption ban

MIAMI (AP) — A Miami judge has struck a blow against a Florida law banning adoptions of children by gay people.

Miami Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman ruled Tuesday there was "no rational basis" for prohibiting gays from adopting children.

The ruling will allow 47-year-old Martin Gill to adopt two young brothers he has cared for as foster children since 2004.

Florida has one of the strictest bans on gay adoptions in the country. A judge in Key West ruled in September that the ban was unconstitutional, but that ruling has had limited legal impact.

Attorneys for the state said they would appeal Lederman's ruling. The appeal will ultimately decide what happens to the state ban in place since 1977.

It's nice to see a little sense in the world. Sometimes things are so discouraging.

wth, so you can foster kids, care for them, feed them, clean their diapers, but you couldnt adopt the same exact child? I did not know that and it is a bunch of shit. I am glad it got over turned.

This was true in several states. They recognized their hypocracy and promptly barred Gays and Singles (to really exclude anyone who might possibly be Gay) from fostering as well. Nice huh? With a crisis in fostercare and half a million kids needing homes you are going to rule out s significant portion of the population (one that fosters at a higher rate) from consideration. Better kids develop RAD and be dangers to society then be raised by Gay people.

Brilliant, isn't it? People can be so messed up. It's disgusting the lengths people will go to repress others. Even deny children potential safe loving homes.

so potentially a homosexual man and woman could get together not mention their sexuality and foster/adopt kids. its not any different then a straight couple fostering and adopting kids. People are idiots.
