ADOPTION LOBBY DAYS: MARCH 19 AND 20!

COLAGE encourages youth and adults with LGBTQ parents in Florida to attend the Third Annual Adoption Lobby Days hosted by Equality Florida and the Coalition for Fair Adoption. Florida is the only state that categorically bans gays and lesbians from adopting. This ban does real harm to families across the state and prevents the 4,000 kids in foster care from finding permanent and loving homes.

At COLAGE, we know that the voices of youth and adults who can dispel myths about what its like to have an LGBT family are crucial to making a difference on legislation that impacts our lives. If you are planning to attend Florida lobby days, please contact Meredith Fenton, COLAGE Program Director for resources about how to use your COLAGEr story to raise awareness with elected officials.

On March 19 and 20 Equality Florida and the Coalition for Fair Adoption will be in Tallahassee meeting with legislators to talk to them about the harm this ban inflicts on our families. Sign up and/or get more information about Adoption Lobby Days!
