Well, not exactly, but the new regulations may as well be regarded as a ban on adoption for gun owners.
This alert comes, not from VCDL, but from John Lott:
New rules for adoptions or foster children in Virginia
So, "Lock Up your Safety" or no adoptions permitted for you.

My research shows that such mandatory rules will make families less safe. Accidental guns deaths involving children are very rare, when they do occur they don't involve the child firing the gun, and the locks make it difficult for people to use the guns defensively. The new Virginia rules are available here:
R. Possession of any weapons, including firearms, in the home or independent living arrangement shall comply with federal and state laws and local ordinances.
1. Any firearms and other weapons shall be unloaded and stored with the weapon's safety mechanisms activated in a locked closet or cabinet.
2. Ammunition shall be stored in a locked location separate from the weapon.
3. The key or combination to the locked closet and cabinet shall at all times be maintained out of reach of all children in the home.
So, "Lock Up your Safety" or no adoptions permitted for you.
