WASHINGTON - Should gay couples have the right to adopt children in Virginia? Currently, only married couples or single men and women - regardless of sexual orientation - can adopt.
But a proposal by former Virginia governor Tim Kaine would change that. It would prevent child welfare agencies from considering sexual orientation or religion during the adoption process.
But, not everyone's on board with the plan.
Republican Delegate Bob Marshall and Ellen Kahn, Family Project Director with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the nation's largest gay rights organization debated this topic on FOX 5 News.
