In reply to ACLU may challenge newly-signed law on adoption by gays

In the 2014-15 budget year, $19.9 million in state and federal funds went toward supporting agencies for adoption and foster care services, according to the state Department of Human Services. Nearly $10 million of that total went to faith-based agencies that would be covered under the religious objection bills.

And I'm sure the vast majority (if not all) would claim they are against Socialism.

In reply to ACLU may challenge newly-signed law on adoption by gays

Rick Scott just signed yesterday a bill repealing the ban on same sex couples adopting children that had been on the books since 1980. This was pushed by Anita Bryan and cost her career in show business. What it did was leave so many children linger in foster care as same sex and single people went out of state to adopt and bring children back here.

There is not enough adoptive parents that will take children that have needs. It is expensive to support these kids in the foster care system. Same sex couples were willing to do that in many cases. In the recent 15 years same sex couples were able to foster hard to adopt kids and give them a stable home. They will be able to adopt these kids now and that will save the state money.

Florida can't balance their budget right now because they have turned down Medicaid. This move will not make up for the short fall. But it is a good move that should have been done years ago.

Adoption agencies depend on the fees they make in the adoption process. Religious sponsored agencies will find themselves competing with non religious agencies that works with all couples. Refusing same sex couples will limit their income to stay in business.
