Arizona, February 02: Legislators in Arizona are trying to reintroduce two bills that failed to get the needed support to be passed last year. State Senators are trying to get the Adoption bill and the Divorce bill back on the consideration table.
One in three adoptions that take place in Arizona are done by unmarried or single people. Legislators want to change that with the new bill that will give preference to married people over unmarried ones, when they go for adoption. The Bill is sponsored by Sen. Linda Gray, R-Glendale, and solidly backed by the Center for Arizona Policy.
The president of the Center for Arizona Policy said that he believes every child deserves to have a mother and father in their life. If Arizona accepts the bill, it will become the second state in the United States after Utah to give preference to married couple in adoption cases.
The second bill is the divorce bill. It is the state’s answer to its high level of divorce. The bill which is sponsored by Gray will allow a person going through a divorce to request much longer days than the 60 days waiting period that is currently granted. The new bill gives a judge the mandate to extend the waiting period to up to 120 years.
