Florida gay adoption ban headed To State Supreme Court
http://www.365gay.com/news/florida-gay-adoption-ban-headed-to-state-supreme-court/

A Miami judge Tuesday ruled there is “no rational basis” for prohibiting gays from adopting children. It is the second time in two months a judge has ruled against the Florida ban.

Florida law allows gays to serve as foster parents but not adopt. The law is considered the most repressive of its kind in the country.
Tuesday’s ruling will allow 47-year-old Martin Gill to adopt two young brothers he has cared for as foster children since 2004.

The boys had been placed with Gill after he was approached for help by a state child abuse investigator.
