Gay Adoption Ban
January 19th, 2011 by flanewsMonths after a judge ruled Florida’s ban on gay adoption illegal, a challenge may be in the works.
After the judge’s ruling last summer, former Governor Charlie Crist decided not to challenge it. Florida’s new Governor Rick Scott, hasn’t said if he’ll challenge the ruling, but he did tell reporters who he thinks should be allowed to adopt.
“I believe that adoption should be by a married couple and I still haven’t changed, I haven’t changed,” said Scott.
Earlier this week Scott appointed David Wilkins head of the agency in charge of adoptions. Wilkins is a former executive at a Baptist Adoption Agency that only allowed professing Christians to adopt children.
