Rep. Bert Reeves, R - Marietta, is congratulated after the passage of HB-159, concerning adoption, in the house. Georgia lawmakers voted Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, on a compromise over a major overhaul to make adoptions easier in the state. The deal will settle a long-running dispute among legislators over how to improve the state's outdated adoption laws, which hinder the creation of new families. Gov. Nathan Deal and legislative leaders say adoption is a priority for this session. (Bob Andres/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP)
