Editors' Note: Guest blogger Martin Gill and his partner have been raising two foster children in Florida since December 2004. When a judge terminated the parental rights of the boys' biological parents in 2006, Martin moved to adopt them. While the state of Florida allows gay people to be foster parents, adoption by gay people has been banned for over two decades. So that he could adopt the boys, he was represented by the ACLU in a challenge to the constitutionality of the gay adoption ban. On November 25, a juvenile court judge granted Martin's adoption request, striking down the ban on gay adoptions in Florida.
