Same-Sex Couples Can Now Adopt Children In All 50 States

May 2, 2016 by Greg Cywnar

Same-Sex Couples Can Now Adopt Children In All 50 States
http://www.huffingtonpost.com
A federal judge ruled Thursday that Mississippi’s ban on same-sex couples adopting children is unconstitutional, making gay adoption legal in all 50 states.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan issued a preliminary injunction against the ban, citing the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide last summer. The injunction blocks Mississippi from enforcing its 16-year-old anti-gay adoption law.
