Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed legislation Monday designed to streamline adoption law and make it easier for children to find homes.

“In this exceptional state in which so many choose to work, learn and create a home, we continue to value the cornerstone of our society: the family,” Deal said in a news release after the signing ceremony. “Today, I signed HB 159 into law, finally bringing much-needed reforms to our adoption laws and making it easier for adoptive parents to create a loving family in our state.”
