Gov Ritter signed the 2nd parents adoption bill into law yesterday
making Colorado (home to the vehemently homophobic James Dobson and
Focus on the Family) the 10th state to allow second-parent adoption
(through statue or case law). In total, 18 other states allow
second parent adoption in certain counties and municipalities.

In a press release from the office of the governor, Ritter
states:
From my experience in law enforcement, I know how
important it is for children to grow up in a stable environment.
This law gives children in a one-parent family a chance to grow up
in a two-parent home. We must do all we can to strengthen families
and provide children with as stable an environment as possible.
This law will give children a better chance to
succeed.”
