29 sue Arkansas to block voter ban on gay adoptions
We are good parents and more than capable of deciding who we should trust to care for our children, without the state’s assistance. It is our parental right to decide what is in the best interest of our children and Act 1 infringes upon this right.”
Meredith Scroggin of Little Rock, AR who, along with her husband, believe they should have the right to designate in their wills that her children should be adopted by her gay cousin and his partner. Act 1, a voter-approved bill, essentially blocks the adoption rights of gays, lesbians and anyone else who is not in a legal marriage. (Times Record)
