Many states specifically allow adoption by homosexual partners so that ruling would have simply been enforcing the law.

If it's true that Indiana is one of those states, then I'd agree that there is no inconsistency in the rulings. That's not the impression I get from the article, though. If Indiana had such a law, then I think the article would have stated just that, instead of saying that an appeals court had to rule that same-sex partners can adopt.

Really wouldn't matter where the kids were adopted, Indiana would enforce their law concerning child support.

This time it really is "for the children".
