Can I ask a stupid question? How do you adopt a 28 year old? He’s legally an adult. How is this legal or permissibile in the first place, aside from the homosexual angle???

It’s a sick, sick, sick world.

His mom is a lesbian and a married one at that.

Odds are that the adoptee is gay or has some other malfunction.

There's probably an estate planning and inheritance issue at stake here.

There was a bizarre case of two elderly "gay" men in Pennsylvania who were trying to work out some kind of deal like this. One of them was in his 80s and his "partner" was in his late 60s. They wanted to be considered spouses for some kind of tax/inheritance purposes. Pennsylvania law didn't allow them to be married, so they tried to get around the law by having the 80+ year-old guy adopt the guy in his 60s.

A Pennsylvania court ruled that the older one couldn't legally adopt the younger one because the father of the younger one was still alive. So -- get this -- they got around that little problem by having the guy in his 60s adopt his older "partner."

If you're going to live in a freak-show, it might as well be an entertaining one.

I’d imagine it’s legal because it assures inheritance of property and (in English law) titles. But it’s being used to expand “rights” that do not exist. (Only, now they do.) The LGB lobby is very clever.

It’s about forced heirship.
