Unloved and out of luck?


There are gay and lesbian couples out there who desperately want children, but, in many states, are not even permitted to foster or adopt.

Colorado is not one of those states--we even have a Second Parent Adoption law that allows for same-sex two-parent households (all of the purple areas in the map above represent places where gay adoption is legal).

Yay, us!

However, now we have this straight mother parading her un-love for her kid all over the Internet?

There are many same-sex couples who would adopt this kid in a heartbeat and happily love her for the rest of her life.

And, no, straight keepers of the common morality, parents don't always love their kids. And that's too bad, but it happens. Maybe it's time to give some loving families a chance. Kids don't care if they have two dads, two moms, a mom and a dad, one mom, or one dad--they just want somebody to love them.
