Adoption Ban in Arkansas Recently Struck Down!
Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza recently struck down Arkansas’ 2008 adoption ban that prevented same-sex and other unmarried cohabiting couples from serving as adoptive or foster parents.
According to an article published by the Associated Press, “the judge wrote that the law infringed upon a ‘fundamental right.’ Piazza said protecting children is in the state’s interest, but the ban ‘is not narrowly tailored to the least restrictive means necessary to serve the state’s interest in determining what is in the best interest of the child.’”
Smart move, Arkansas! – We have Judge Chris Piazza to thank for that!
