The battle by homosexuals to legally adopt children has opened on another front in Florida.
Democratic State Senator Nan Rich, co-chair of the Senate Children, Families and Elder Affairs Committee, has filed a bill to repeal the 1977 law that bans homosexual adoption and a second bill to give judges the authority to determine adoptions based exclusively on what she calls the best interests the children. Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel disagrees with the measures.
"The actions here by Senator Nan Rich are clearly without merit, and she has the audacity to say that she is considering what is in the best interest of children. Well that defies logic, reason, and science," he contends. "Frankly the studies have shown clearly that it is in the best interest of children to have a mother and a father."
Barber believes he has discovered the Rich's true intentions. "What she and her homosexual activist supporters are considering is what is in the best interest of homosexual activists," he adds. "They are more concerned with their own selfish desires because they want to adopt children."
Liberty Counsel has a role in a case winding through the courts that would overturn the law.
Homosexuals even if they are righ doctors are practicing perversion and have no right adopting children. Anyone practicing homosexuality has psychological and spiritual dysfunction and is goig to infect the children they raise.
Apparently the duck got smashed. :-) Now it’s the strawberry’s turn.
My brother in law is a conservative lawyer in Chiefland, Florida and we’ve discuss at length the Florida Bar while swimming the springs in the Suwannee River.
I think it is very cool how the state has the sign labeled “Swanee River” and below the sign are the musical notes to the song.
I am surprised how lawyers outside the blue zones have allowed this amicus brief to pass, the fact they had to sneak it past speaks volumes, they are not even allowing a dissenting brief to be filed in the name of the “Florida Bar.” Only the left wing position is being allowed.

On behalf of Murphy Brown and Laura Ingraham I’ll have to object.
Rich white women don’t need a man to raise a child!!!!
Too bad the pervert left.
I have NO TIME for perverts that molest innocent kids.

I totally disagree. Where do children learn the role of being a man? From a father, regardless of the amount of money that the single mother has.
Granted, a member of the clergy can council the youthful males, but nothing substitutes for a father.

Why do you want homosexuality to be perceived as normal? Good for children? Why? It’s obvious you love your friends, and their choice to raise a child. You probably don’t want them to be condemned to hell, and can’t imagining that happening, because they’re so nice? So decent? So moral? How do you figure that? Because they’re doing something that normal people should but aren’t?
I’m afraid that you can’t change the laws of nature. The Lord won’t listen to your argument either.
I hope for your sake that you aren’t plagued with the condition, but if you are friend, know that I’m praying for you. For sure your friends and that poor child they’re raising. One thing we all can agree on is that life is very very short, then we all die. What happens after that is up to each of us.
Yeah...that’s what I’m doing...clearly trying to covert everyone into homos...that all ya got? All I’m saying is that kids in the world are harmed and that some get to have a better life, despite religiou views.
The United States allowed this adoption. They are legal guardians under OUR laws, not Russian laws.
In no way did you address my post. This thread is about homosexual adoption in FLORIDA. ANY adoption done outside the country is legal if it was legal in that country.
So, your homosexual relatives' failure to adopt the Russian orphan somehow precludes a normal man-woman married US couple from adopting this child? I guess this is san francisco reasoning, if not san francisco values.
What your "girl's cousin" adoption precludes is the chance for the child ever having a father. Get that through your thick lib-skull full of sewer sludge.
