Abstract

Gays and lesbians have been fighting an uphill battle for equality from having benefits to being recognized as family members in emergency situations to the right to marry. In light of the current Unmarried Couple Adoption Ban in the state of Arkansas, this paper will explore this battlefront on the right to adopt children. The focus will be on the battle between both sides for and against gay and lesbian couples' right to adopt. It will explore the ways that other states are making it illegal for homosexual couples to adopt children, without out right saying that these individuals cannot adopt children.
