I think a friend who adopted a Russian newborn did not have to go to court, aside from the adoption.

Using a surrogate is really nothing different than an adoption.

I know the “gay adoption” thing gets folks worked up. But as a matter of “law”, I don’t think this is way off course.

“Gay couple’s child born”

I want to sell the tickets to view the birth.

Is this a natural born citizen?

I tend to agree, but wasn’t sure.

How many things can a single sentence contain? If you thought I could count them on one hand, that’s also wrong.

But if the parents were straight, the child would be a British citizen?

The surrogate business is illegal, but a separate issue from the child's citizenship.

If it were a straight couple and a baby genetically theirs delivered through a surrogate, the baby would be a US citizen and no need for a lawsuit.

What an abominable twisting of the law. Crooks will find a way to transform the ruling into a racket.

Don’t believe the judge would have such an authority to totally make up a ruling based on nothing like this. Then again this is America and we live in a post-law society

Not if it were adopted through a surrogate.

That is my point. I don’t think it is outrageous—other than the parents are gay.

Again, my point, is that as a matter of law—what they do with their sex parts is not relevant.

Of course...that, I will be declared the advocate for gayness of Free Republic for stating that. The lack of reading comprehension is stunning.
