NEW QUESTION: SHOULD MARRIED COUPLES GET PREFERENCE FOR ADOPTION?

All 50 states declare that adoption is supposed to be governed by the "best interests of the child," not by the adults' needs or desires. Yet according for a forthcoming iMAPP policy brief, states are 5 times more likely to make it illegal to prefer married couples (marital status discrimination) than to have a preference for married mothers and fathers in adoption law.

Should we prefer married parents or ban marital status discrimination? Or neither?
What do you think?
