Arizona Marital Preference for Adoption up for vote

The Center for Arizona Policy has issued an action alert: “HB 2148, Marital Preference for Adoption, will be voted on by the Arizona House of Representatives as early as next Monday, February 25. This bill gives children in foster care a chance to have a married mom and dad by establishing a preference for married couples where possible. HB 2148 includes several significant exceptions to enable a child to be adopted by a single person when it is in the best interest of the child. We have more information on our web site, including the CAP’s Family Issues Fact Sheet, current status of the bill, and details of legislative action tracked on our blog.”
