responce to new bill in Kentucky would prevent gay and lesbian adoption.

Reading this makes me mad and scared. Mad at the fact that people aren't allowing gay and lesbian couples to adopt. Also mad at the fact that this is how they target certain groups without making it seem as if they're prejudice. I never realized so many states already had laws like this put in place. It makes me sad to think of all the children that could go to good, loving homes of unmarried gay, lesbian, or straight couples; but sadly can't because of a law. I don't think people think of everyone when these laws are put into effect. Really shouldn't it be about the children and weather they are happy and their needs are meet rather than the thoughts that putting a child with and unmarried couple is wrong? It makes me scared to think that Maine could be next in making one of these laws.

detor article....new bill in Kentucky would prevent gay and lesbian adoption

I just read an article about a new bill in Kentucky that would prevent unmarried couples from adopting of fostering. There are apparently similar laws in Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Utah. People are saying that the law is an attack towards gays and lesbians. However lawmakers are saying that the law would also prevent unmarried heterosexual couples from adopting. The law however wouldn't remove children already in homes with an unmarried couple.

Final focus; further research needed.

For my final research I hope to find more information on the money that goes into adoption. Specifically the money that goes into Maine adoptions. I would like to learn more about home studies and cost and any other areas that might have to be paid for. Statistics really that would wrap everything up. I hope to interview someone who has adopted or was adopted. Also perhaps finding statistics about the age groups of children adopted. I think these would help focus my research if I knew these facts so I could have something to refer to other than people's opinion on adoption.
