Missouri Foster Parent Battle
May 5, 2005 | 
News Reports
The ACLU has put out a press release about Lisa Johnston, a lesbian in Missouri who wants to become a foster parent but was denied based solely on her sexual orientation. The ACLU also offers a fact sheet about adoption and foster care. The South has been the site of many changes in gay foster care laws; in December 2004 a law in Arkansas preventing gays from fostering children was struck down, but just a few weeks ago Texas banned the same thing. Hopefully Missouri will go the way of Arkansas!
