Birds build nests long before they lay eggs. The way humans start and grow families must evolve. If having a child doesn’t have enough significance in a person’s life to make the child top priority, it is unsurprising the child fails to inspire in the courts and child welfare system what it could not inspire in the parents. It is terrifying that children can be taken from bad situations with their parents and placed in even worse with others. But what is truly interesting is that Texas, a Bible Belt state that has been vocally and vehemently anti-LGBTQ+ allowed an openly lesbian couple to adopt children in those days.
