Entries tagged with “adoption” from Trans-cendental
So the Arkansas Attorney General decided that a law that said gay people can't adopt was unconstitutional. No matter - the Arkansas legislature went back and said only married couples could adopt.
To put this another way, children may not be adopted by unmarried persons regardless of sexual orientation.
Throughout the Bible - in the Hebrew and Christian books - priests and prophets have spoken of the importance of caring for orphans. Yet Arkansas decided it would be better for these children to be housed in foster and group homes than to find a permanent home with one or more parents.
Children need a loving home. To deny children of the opportunity to be loved is to go against God's law and basic compassion.
Let us put the needs of children first.
