The American Infertility Association (AIA) supports families of all descriptions.  The

success of a loving family does not rest on sexual orientation.

"Family building should not be a political issue.  Nor should it be about gender-politics. 

It's about creating loving families for children.  All kinds of people from all backgrounds

can provide loving and wonderful homes through birth, adoption, and foster care," said

Pamela Madsen, Executive Director of The AIA.  "We have so many children waiting for

adoption in the United States, we should welcome and support all people who have a

loving heart and the capability to provide a safe and caring home for a child."

"Rosie O'Donnell has helped us to raise awareness by putting a face on the loving homes

that children can find with all kinds of families.  The AIA supports Steve Lofton and Roger

Croteau, a gay couple fighting to keep their family together by trying to overturn the state of

Florida's ban on gay adoption.

The AIA urges all state legislatures to look at research that has been done which demonstrates

that children growing up with parents in gay households are just as loved, healthy, safe, and

successful, as any child raised in the warmth that a loving family can provide, regardless of
sexual affiliations or marital status.

The American Infertility Association, is a national organization dedicated to assisting women

and men facing decisions related to family building and reproductive health-from prevention

and treatment to social and psychological concerns. The mission of the AIA is to serve as a

lifetime resource for men and women needing reproductive information and support and to

forward the causes of adoption and reproductive health through
advocacy, education, awareness building and research funding.
