Little Rock - Voters on Tuesday approved an act banning unmarried couples from serving as foster or adoptive parents.
The measure's sponsor, the Arkansas Family Council, had tried to paint its proposal as a battle against a "gay agenda." The conservative group successfully pushed for an amendment banning same-sex marriage four years ago.
Opponents of the measure argued it would make it harder for the state to find the foster parents it needs to take care of children.
