Currently in Alabama there are no laws to protect adoption by the gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered community. We know that every year that we do not have a law on the books protect our rights is a year that the radical right can introduce legislation to keep us from taking care of our families. In 2005 a bill banning adoption was introduced in the legislature. We expect that more bills like this will be introduced.
Our efforts include educating Alabama citizens about our families. Education will help us to insure that our families are not marginalized, or the target of future hate-filled legislation.
