The Miami Herald reports that Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman has declared Florida's gay adoption ban unconstiutional:
"In a 53-page ruling, Judge Lederman said, 'It is clear that sexual orientation is not a predictor of a person's ability to parent.' Two lawyers from the Florida Attorney General's Office said they would file an appeal Tuesday. 'We respect the court's decision,' said Assistant Attorney General Valerie Martin. 'Based upon the wishes of our client, the Department of Children & Families, we will file an appeal.' Gill, who is raising the half-brothers, ages 4 and 8, said he was ''elated'' by the ruling and 'I cried tears of joy for the first time in my life.'"

I am going to keep Gill and those boys in my thoughts and heart and prayers. Anyone who would interfere with such an obviously loving and healthy family ought to be truly ashamed. We need to hold up victories like this; each step of the way. ~ Okay, my soapbox shall now be placed back in the cabinet under the sink.
The absolutely amazing thing is that it's even a question!!! (In our "Christian" country.) MaB
