GAY ADOPTION
Statistics
Key facts in adoption of black children by gay and lesbian couples:
Adoption by gays and lesbians is perhaps 5 percent or 10 percent, or several thousand out of about 125,000 adoptions yearly, adoption experts believe.
In 62 of Ohio's 88 counties, the percentage of black children in foster care is at least double that of the number of black children living in those counties.
Only Florida bans gays and lesbians from adopting, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Some states, like Ohio, will allow an individual to adopt but not unmarried couples, gay or straight.
