The State Legislature needs to pass LB 380, to allow all of the unmarried qualified families to jointly adopt. This will open up more possibilities for children who are waiting for a qualified loving couple to adopt them. This will help decrease the number of children in foster care and decrease the amount of time these children are in the foster care system, which will also save the taxpayers money.
Why is this important?
LB 380 will provide for two unmarried adults to jointly adopt and clarifies provisions in the State law to allow for second parent adoption. This bill will protect children and allow families the protection of the law that they need.
