You may have seen last week that the NSW Parliament released a report on whether same-sex couples in NSW should be able to adopt. Positively, the report recommended that they should.
The NSW Government now has to decide whether it is going to support the recommendations from the report, and indeed, allow same-sex couples the right to adopt. While there is widespread support for this to occur, we know that already conservatives are working hard to deny us these important changes.
Which means that they need to hear from as many supportive people as possible about why they MUST change the law and allow same-sex couples adoption rights.
The Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby has made it easy for us to do this - just simply follow the link below
