While this has never been a forum for political discussions, I wanted to wish all my friends that worked so long and hard to get this law passed in Illinois all the best. Congratulations on fighting the good fight and not accepting the status quo. For those of you tying the knot, congratulations as well! Looking forward to hearing from you all as the law goes into effect next summer. If you are looking to grow your family please contact me sooner rather than later as the local market shows signs of increasing over the next 12 months, but deals still exist!
