Ban on Unmarried Adoptions Cleared for Ark. Ballot
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- A proposal aimed at effectively banning gays and lesbians from becoming foster or adoptive parents was cleared Monday to appear on this fall's ballot in Arkansas. The measure would prohibit unmarried couples living together from fostering or adopting children, and Arkansas doesn't allow gays to marry or recognize gay marriages conducted elsewhere.

Supporters needed to turn in at least 61,974 valid signatures.Click Here For The Full Story......
