Alabama, Georgia, South Dakota, and Tennessee have all introduced or passed bills this month to limit same-sex adoption. The various bills allow adoption agencies to refuse service to same-sex couples. If passed, the bill would allow state-funded and licensed adoption and foster care agencies to refuse LGBT adoptive or foster parents based on the agency’s “religious beliefs.”The Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee also added a discriminatory section targeting LGBT people in their adoption bill. These laws do nothing but discriminate against LGBT families and hurt children in need of loving homes. Contact your representatives and let them know how you feel about laws that single out the LGBT community.
