Do you have friends, family or co-workers in Arkansas? Or are you a COLAGEr or one of our allies living in Arkansas? Please get involved to fight the Unmarried Couple Adoption Ban.

The Unmarried Couple Adoption Ban is a citizen-initiated state statute that would make it illegal for any individual cohabiting outside of a valid marriage to adopt or provide foster care to minors. While the measure was proposed primarily to prohibit same-gender couples from being adoptive or foster parents, this measure would apply to all otherwise qualified couples who are not legally married.

Arkansas Families First, the campaign working to defeat this ban, has been doing great work. Recently they got thirteen retired judges, including three former chief justices of the Arkansas Supreme Court, to come out against this ban and argue that child welfare decisions belong in the hands of qualified experts. And they have produced great TV and radio ads running throughout the state. They need your support to keep these ads on the air.
