A Bill

[This bill states that all states should allow same-sex adoption as a legal couple not as an individual] //Be it enacted by the Members of the McG Congress// //of the United States of America in Congress assembled,// This Act may be cited as the “ [Same- Sex Adoption]” Congress finds that:
 * SECTION 1. Everyone Must Look Beyond the Rainbow **
 * SECTION 2. 14th amendment, Constitution- Equality**
 * SECTION 3: Allow same-sex couples to have the same adoption rights as heterosexual couples.**
 * SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.**
 * SECTION 5. Less exclusive with adoption; more people can adopt freely without fraudulent acts giving everyone the same opportunity.**
 * Findings**:
 * The 14th Amendment of the Constitution states that all Americans are granted equal rights.
 * The Constitution does not stop protecting someone just because they are not considered "traditional.”
 * By preventing same-sex adoption, we are contradicting ourselves in what we stand for: equality and freedom.
 * Many children do not have biological parents caring for them, and are under supervision of adoption agencies and foster homes.
 * These children deserve the same opportunity to live with two parents that love them.
 * This should be true regardless of the parents' gender. All children want love and care from a parent.
 * At this point in time, states have the choice of accepting this imperative law passing same-sex adoption; the majority of the sates do not want to accept same-sex couples adopting as a family.
 * This forces fraudulent acts of homosexuals because they are forced to lie and adopt as either single, joint, second-parent or step-parent adopters.
 * According to adoption facilities, honesty is key when fostering children. By allowing same-sex couples to adopt together like heterosexual couples can, this law will allow honesty in their choice to adopt. This will also allow more children to have two loving parents, regardless of their sex.

The purpose of this bill is: ·  To provide parentless children with the opportunity to become part of a loving family by granting same-sex couples the right to adopt children in the same way as rationally married couples
 * Purpose**

·  All states will accept the adoption policies and will not discriminate under any circumstance ·  Parents that are HIV- positive will not be an issue during the adoption process ·  Same-sex couples will be treated equally as tradition couples when fostering children.
