Dear Governor Wilson:

Adoption by sexual minorities is absolutely in the
best interest of society.  To deny parenthood by
this method to anyone on the basis of sexual
orientation denies sexual minorities equal
representation under the law, and to deny a child a
loving, stable home, however "unconventional," is
unthinkable for any reason.  Any implication to the
contrary by an elected official is irresponsible and
immoral.

					Sincerely,
		    Barbara Purdom                  Christopher Purdom
