      Sec. 45a-727a. State policy re best interests of child; public policy re marriage. The General Assembly finds that:

      (1) The best interests of a child are promoted by having persons in the child's life who manifest a deep concern for the child's growth and development;

      (2) The best interests of a child are promoted when a child has as many persons loving and caring for the child as possible;

      (3) The best interests of a child are promoted when the child is part of a loving, supportive and stable family, whether that family is a nuclear, extended, split, blended, single parent, adoptive or foster family; and

      (4) It is further found that the current public policy of the state of Connecticut is now limited to a marriage between a man and a woman.
