#RhodeIsland strengthens security for #LGBTQ+ families with #Confirmatory #Adoption #law.

The #legislation removes #barriers faced by #nonbiological parents, easing #adoption and reflecting #parentage. It enhances #family #protection during #travel or #relocation, particularly to less #LGBTQ+ #friendly areas.
