Ban on gay adoption stalls in committee

[kweerwolf]

A proposal to ban gay adoption in Kansas is going nowhere, at least for now.

On Wednesday, the chairwoman of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Children’s Issues said she had no plans to bring up the proposal. The committee met all day in Topeka to discuss adoption issues, and it was expected the proposal would be discussed.

“It will not be coming out of this committee,” said Rep. Willa DeCastro, a Wichita Republican who is chairwoman of the committee.

Legislative leaders sent the proposal to the committee for study after Rep. Steve Huebert, a Valley Center Republican, suggested a ban. Huebert said children were better off in homes with two heterosexual parents.

Good news out of Kansas for a change ... at least for now. It is likely, however, that both Kansas and Missouri will take up the issue of banning gay adoptions next year.
