Adoption Website Continues to Discriminate

Filed Under GLBT Equality, GLBT Parents, Homophobia 

Family Pride has been on a campaign since May, to persuade one of America’s leading adoption Web sites to allow people of all sexual orientations looking to adopt to post profiles on the site.

The campaign which was launched in May was in response to a settlement reached earlier regarding a lawsuit filed by a gay male couple from California against Gilbert Arizona based Adoption Profiles, L.L.C.

The settlement prohibits Adoption Profiles, L.L.C., or Adoption.com, to post profiles on its ParentProfiles.com Web site of California residents “unless the service is made equally available to all California residents qualified to adopt in California.”

So, the short of it is that the company has decided not to accept profiles from California residents.
