LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Supporters of a proposal aimed at barring homosexuals from adopting or fostering children did not gather enough signatures to get on the general election ballot in November, the secretary of state's office says.
After the announcement on Wednesday, the Arkansas Family Council Action Committee has another 30 days to gather the necessary number. Daniels' office said it verified 57,888 signatures submitted are valid and came from registered voters. Supporters need 61,794 valid signatures to get the measure on the ballot.
The proposal would ban any unmarried couples living together from becoming adoptive or foster parents.
