Gay adoptions.

I am writing to point out a simple, though to some readers a significant, misstatement in the August 1 article "ABA Model Rules, gay adoptions on board's agenda." The article states that, under current Florida law, "gay couples can be foster parents but are prohibited by state law from adopting[.]" While the statement is technically true, F.S.. [section] 63.042(3) prevents any homosexual (i.e. individuals) from adopting as well. A simple oversight on the News' part, I am certain, but one which unwittingly glosses over the situation of many Floridians.
