its been happening in tennessee for a while :rolleyes:

There was an article in The Tennessean (newspaper) in Febuary:

"2. State may not let gays adopt kids in its care
February 20, 2005 •• 1613 words •• ID: nsh2005022308140106
Legislation also would prohibit gay foster parents By BONNA de la CRUZ Staff Writer Tennessee could join two other states that choose no parent over a gay parent ..
