Reply #87: You are conflating two issues here

[dsc]

Singles can adopt in every state. They may be held to a higher standard than a couple is but they can adopt. In some states without civil unions gay couples can adopt. One example of that in New Jersey. Finally in a different post you said that adoptions in one state can be made invalid by moving to a different state. I find that hard to believe do you have any citation for that? Civil unions shouldn't be conflated with children. One of the main points that opponets of gay marriage make is that marriage is all about children.
