Florida Gov. Charlie Crist announced Wednesday afternoon he will cease enforcing the state's 33-year-old gay adoption law, which was declared unconstitutional by a Miami appeals court Wednesday morning.
Crist lauded the court ruling as ``great'' and told reporters at a 2:30 news conference he would immediately stop enforcing the ban. Crist said he wanted to confer with the adoptive father at the center of the case before deciding whether to appeal. He said, however, that he believes the state Supreme Court wouldn't overturn the court rulings.
Crist once supported the ban. But the U.S. Senate candidate reversed himself after he left the Republican Party and began courting the liberal vote.
A Miami appeals court ruled Wednesday that Florida's ban on gays adopting is unconstitutional and affirmed the controversial adoption of two foster children by a gay North Miami couple.
The unanimous 3-0 decision deals a critical blow to Florida's 33-year-old law banning adoption by gay men and lesbians, and most likely sends the case to Florida's highest court for resolution.

So exactly which part of the Constitution is it that forces states to put children in unhealthy situations?
The other Duke rape case or why homosexual adoptions are a bad idea
Ask a liberal if they think it is OK for gay Catholic Priests to adopt several boys - and then watch their head explode…
Wow, see, I always thought that the INDIVIDUAL STATES were allowed to make their own laws, you know, like the TENTH AMENDMENT says?
I guess this black robed ruler thinks that evidence from "ABROAD" is more important.
In other words, folks, if this is such a damn bad law, then let the LEGISLATURE change it.
Yes, Jim, he is. And Crist will soon be an ex-governor and a former Senate candidate.
And he’ll go to be some talking head on MSNBC.
That’s why Catholic Charities in MA stopped Adoption services. I have three cousins who came from CC. What part of the Constitution entitles any citizen the right to other people’s children? Women give up their babies to CC because they want their child to have a family that looks like Jesus, Mar and Joseph. If they wanted their child to have no father at home, she already had that. If she wanted her baby to just have a mother, well she had that too.
“...which part of the Constitution is it that forces states to put children in unhealthy situations?...”
That would be the XXVIII Amendment which states that “No state shall infringe upon the Federal busy-body powers to oversee all Big Brother Programs and approved social trends...”
Will Ruth Bader Guinsberg turn to foreign law such as Australia’s Supreme Court ruling that children had a right to a mother and a father?
Yes, it is. The court considered the pro/con of homo adoption as if the three blackrobes were legislators. They substituted their opinion for that of the FL legislature. It is tyranny. To usurp the powers of another branch of government is grounds for impeachment. D@amn 'em all.
This is just my 2 cents worth but I was left in the streets at the age of 3. Placed in an orphanage, then a foster home and adopted at the age of 8 by a married couple, man and a women. It was easy for me to identify who to call dad and who to call mom!!

It looks like it is now open season on children in Florida. The courts are out of control. In view of AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PEDIATRICIANS stand on homosexual adoption, this is insanity.
Their statement :
In summary, tradition and science agree that biological ties and dual gender parenting are protective for children. The family environment in which children are reared plays a critical role in forming a secure gender identity, positive emotional well-being, and optimal academic achievement. Decades of social science research documents that children develop optimally when reared by their two biological parents in a low conflict marriage. The limited research advocating childrearing by homosexual parents has severe methodological limitations. There is significant risk of harm inherent in exposing a child to the homosexual lifestyle. Given the current body of evidence, the American College of Pediatricians believes it is inappropriate, potentially hazardous to children, and dangerously irresponsible to change the age-old prohibition on homosexual parenting, whether by adoption, foster care, or reproductive manipulation. This position is rooted in the best available science.
Court decisions like this one underline the importance of selecting sensible judges. Who appointed the judges who appointed themselves emperors with the power to turn morality on its head? Judges cannot turn wrong into right by their words and deeds. Judges can only make fools of themselves by attempting to place themselves above the people they claim to serve.
Maybe first you check with the people of Florida you spineless RINO moonbat girlyman!!!!
can you imagine how poed you would be the day you realized how messed up that is
Crist wants to get so low in the polls, single digits, and then tell MSNBC to look at his numbers and compare them to the networks single digit ratings. Hire me I am as bad and hated as you are.
TWO MEN: Yes, your honor, we want to create a family.
JUDGE: Create a family?
TWO MEN: Yes, your honor, we desire it -it is our right.
JUDGE: Hmmmm... What about the rights of the child?
TWO MEN: As two men that want a family we feel we know best what a child requires and can provide it because we really want a family and without us a child will go unwanted without a family.
JUDGE: So you want a family? You need a child to make a family? YET you claim you provide the child a family?
TWO MEN: Well, we do love each other. Love will find a way...
JUDGE: Why should the State give two men a child when the two men claim to want a child YET do not want a child enough to procreate with a member of the opposite sex? Seems abnormal to me...
TWO MEN: Well your honor we are normal -psychologists have declared it true. We try very hard to procreate with each other -we have sex with each other quite often... AND we love each other...
JUDGE: OH -that makes sense... I guess you really do want children. Trying hard the impossible and destined to failure is worthy and should be rewarded. I now pronounce you a family... Next case...
What a cracked-up jackas# Charlie is.
Yes -Crist confirms he is a morally relative and as such unprincipled humanist leaf blowing in the wind. He is no leader. He is a spineless malcontent!
Crist is a complete fool, so a little kid get to be adopted by a couple of homosexuals , seeing two men in bed, seeing two men kiss , hold each other etc
I grew up in foster homes and remember in the 80’s when a friend of mine was adopted back in the UK.
So anyway I got fostered and years later met up with an old friend.
I asked him if he ever saw Keith to which he replied he is dead.
I asked why what happened.
He told me that his adopted mother and father split up because the mother was was a drunk , on drugs etc . Anyway Keith was told to stay with his adopted mother even though the father left due to her messing around with a woman .
Two years later that woman moved in with him and his adopted mother.
One year later he killed himself at age 16.
He left a note saying that he did this because he always wanted a father, because he was ashamed of his mother and how she carried on.
He never wanted two mothers and blamed this just not on his mother but also social services for leaving him there.
These kids need to be protected. My wife is adopted I am fostered and it is a disgrace that this disgusting idiot could side with people who only go with each other to get off sexually.
These poor kids could be taken to homosexual places, these kids will see two women or men in bed in the mornings, kissing each other, touching each other, holding each other, IT IS FRIGGING NOT NORMAL NOR NATURAL.
Think of these kids and how they have no say in where they go .
For any queer trolls on here then you disgust me, you want children to pretend that you’re normal .
This is all based on you lot getting off sexually and because of this you want to play happy families.
Don’;t give me the crap of well we love each other either, I love my dog, my kids, some of my mates but I do not want to have sex with them.
trust me I will fight you all the way knowing full well what it is like t be fostered and my wife is adopted.
