“Appeals court rejects adoption by lesbian couple: Ky. ruling chides judge in ’stepparent-like’ case”



The Courier-Journal reports:

In a harshly worded opinion, the Kentucky Court of Appeals has barred judges from allowing lesbians to adopt as though they are a stepparent.

Ruling 3-0 in a Jefferson County case, the court said that stepparent adoptions are allowed only when the stepmother or father is married to the biological parent, and marriages between gays are forbidden by both statute and Kentucky’s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

In a 62-page ruling issued Friday about the case, the court said that with a “wink-wink” and a “nod-nod,” Family Court Judge Eleanore Garber and lawyers for a lesbian couple ignored those laws . . .

The Opinion was not found on any public website at the time of this posting, but it is available on Westlaw:

S.J.L.S. v. T.L.S., 2008 WL 4181994 (Ky.App., September 12, 2008) (Nos. 2006-CA-001730-ME, 2006-CA-001731-MR).

    Thank you Kentucky Christians and Patriots, thank you Jesus.

    We need all the help and prayers we can get here in New Mexico; Massachusetts and California liberals are taking over the politics in our state. We need real Christian leadership in New Mexico; we just are not getting the message out!
