VICTORY in Colorado!
David on May 15th 2007
Gov Ritter signed the 2nd parents adoption bill into law yesterday making Colorado (home to the vehemently homophobic James Dobson and Focus on the Family) the 10th state to allow second-parent adoption (through statue or case law). In total, 18 other states allow second parent adoption in certain counties and municipalities.
In a press release from the office of the governor, Ritter states:
From my experience in law enforcement, I know how important it is for children to grow up in a stable environment. This law gives children in a one-parent family a chance to grow up in a two-parent home. We must do all we can to strengthen families and provide children with as stable an environment as possible. This law will give children a better chance to succeed.”
