So in your opinion it is just fine for the Judge to disallow this lady who learned from her mistakes, to pass that wisdom along to her daughter? Very interesting.

If that's what I think was happening, no -- probably not.

But I doubt it's so lovely and Christian as that. Rather, based on the Judge's very circumspect comments, I think this whole thing is very, very ugly, and that the one lady is using the Bible to poison the little girl against the other lady.

So if that's the case .... in your opinion, is it fine for a woman, allegedly a Christian, to use the Bible to stop a child from loving somebody whom they've come to love as a parent?

You honestly and fairly explained your opinion to me. I owe you nothing less than an honest explanation of my own opinion.

If the adoptive Mother of this child is using the Bible and her new found salvation and committment to following the teachings of Christ and invoking her knowledge of the scriptures, for no other reason than to turn the child against her former same sex partner,her motive would be selfish, unfair and un-Christian. If she wishes to remove her adopted daughter from further contact and influence from the ex-partner, who is still embracing the life style that the mother knows is sinful, but also escapable, as she herself has proven; for the welfare of the child, both her motive and method is to be applauded.

The adoptive Mother would be remiss if she did not want with all her heart and soul, to shelter her daughter from any possibility of being sucked into the sick, pretence of a life, such as she recently escaped from.
