New rule could help suit against Florida adoption ban
http://www.advocate.com/new_news.asp?ID=10129&sd=10/09/03

The American Civil Liberties Union believes a change in Florida's adoption policy boosts its challenge of a law that prohibits gay people in the state from adopting children. An attorney for the state notified the federal appeals court of a new Department of Children and Families policy that makes it easier for single people to adopt children and that the department no longer expresses a preference that married couples adopt children. It also voided a rule that bars unmarried couples who are "sexually cohabitating" from adopting. While the letter from attorney Casey Walker said the rule changes don't undermine the state's gay adoption ban, the ACLU disagrees. The group said the earlier DCF preference for married couples was the basis of the argument supporting the ban.
