An organization called the "Family Council Action Committee" spearheaded the effort to have an initiative added to November's Ballot in Arkansas to ban unmarried couples living together from fostering or adopting children. 
 
You can be single and foster or adopt children in Arkansas, and  if this initiative passes, single people will not be affected. You just cannot have two adults living in the same home that are not married. (heterosexual or homosexual)

Last March previous to the movement to have the initiative placed on the ballot Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families released a dismal report on foster care in Arkansas which stated "The state is not doing all it can to find permanent homes for children in foster care" and further noted that "Over the past five years, nearly 1,000 children in foster care reached the age of 18 and left the system without ever being adopted into a permanent home, The number of children "aging out" of the system in fiscal year 2006 was 216, up from 180 five years earlier, the study showed.

David Cox is Executive Director of The Family Council Action Committee and states that "God has called me into this line of service" If you read through his website (David is also the webmaster and admits he has no staff at the moment) he freely explains that he is of course targeting homosexuals, and that by not defining "couple" as homo or hetero the initiative will hold up under court scrutiny  because the wording does not discriminate (even though that is the initiative's intention)

WOW! This guy and his band of Christian Zealots think they are doing GOD's work by further limiting the number of available foster and adoptive homes in a state that already has a shortfall on foster and adoptive homes.

Religion is so mean. Use Jesus to Justify an action that both harms children and endorses intolerance.
