With the way most states are interpreting their laws, it is harder for homosexuals to adopt. The law in most places allows married people to adopt. There is a lot of debate if couples aren't married who can adopt the kids. They interpret that law so that step parents can adopt, but not gay and lesbian couples.
I wonder if it would just be easier if the first fight that was fought was for homosexual marriage and then, we could go from there to fight for homosexuals rights to adopt children.
It frustrates me to realize that maybe this is the first step in the fight because it just means that everything is going to take longer to achieve.
This might be the way it has to go because of the law, even though I feel like there is a very strong fight that I feel can be put up for the well-being of the children. It is a long battle, but it almost seems to be getting nowhere.
So many places allow homosexuals to be foster parents, yet they are not able to be a couple and adopt. This makes no sense at all, but it means that some people do believe that homosexuals are capable of taking care of children.
So I wonder if homosexual marriage being recognized is the first step, or if there is some other way to fight this battle?
