Jon and Michael Galluccio of New Jersey, the first same-sex couple to jointly adopt a child in New Jersey, will be in Washington, D.C., Sept. 15-19. The Galluccios will spend the majority of their time lobbying members of Congress including Rep. Marge Roukema, R-N.J.; Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., about adoption rights. Among the highlights of their non-lobbying activities: taking part in an ACLU national panel on defending lesbian and gay families, led by ACLU Lesbian and Gay Rights Project Director Matt Coles and meeting with Vice President Al Gore's staff. Accompanying the Galluccios will be their children, Adam, the son they adopted this fall, and their foster daughter Madison. The Galluccios have announced that they will take time to celebrate Adam's third birthday at D.C.'s National Zoo.
