Do state laws differentiate in accepting same sex parent adoption?

Today, more and more gay couples are foregoing the secrecy and adopting openly as a homosexual couple. LGBT parents face an uphill battle in many areas of the country. Utah for example, prohibits adoption by couples who are cohabitating but not legally married . Utah does not allow gay marriage, making it almost impossible for a gay couple to jointly adopt a child. Mississippi will allow a gay individual to adopt but does not allow adoption by same-sex couples while Florida doesn't allow gay adoption at all - whether as an individual or a couple. And while the laws in other states might not be so clear cut, many areas still have a distinct bias against gay adoption.
