Did you know today is Explore Adoption Day?
For more on adoption in Florida, you should check out the following stories:
Gov. Crist pens an op-ed in the Sun Sentinel, "For the Second Year, Florida Sets Record for Adopting Foster Kids." More than 3700 foster kids were adopted last year.
Jim Ash of the Capital News Service responds that even more kids - in foster care and otherwise- could have been adopted if the state would lift the 1977 ban on gay adoption.
The St. Petersburg Times also posts an editorial in the same vane, writing, "Florida should celebrate its adoption successes, but it cannot pretend its current system is sufficient or fair."
