In Florida?


Miami Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman flipped the script today. She overturned the Florida ban on gay adoptions, saying there's "no rational basis" for prohibiting gays from adopting children.

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.

This is great news to hear and inspiring for our future with the adoption process. Now I know that the state will appeal, but I still think this is amazing.

Perhaps change is coming in small packages?
