We need an underground railroad for evil judges such as this, to escape their clutches...just like the slaves escaped from the evil of slavery.
This literally makes me sick to my stomach. Their is no law whatsoever that compels a woman to give up her natural-born child to someone she had a sexual relationship with.
It’s like a woman being forced to give her baby over to a man she met in a bar and had a one-night stand with.
God help this country when evil men like this wear the robes of justice.

Yes there is. It's 28 USC § 1738A, Full faith and Credit for Child Custody Determinations.
The Vermont court made a visitation determination based on VT law. This biological mother elected to ignore that order when she moved to VA. The former domestic partner sued to enforce the visitation order, and when the biological mother refused to particpate in good-faith with those proceedings, the court ruled against her. No surprise.
No one held a gun to this woman and forced her to live with and engage in a lesbian relationship with her "partner". She entered into legally binding agreements - either implicit or explicit - that gave her "partner" certain parental rights. In this country, contracts matter. When you enter into them in good faith, you don't just get to change your mind when you change your personal philosophy. The court did what it should have - enforced the law and the contract.

Glenn Beck’s show did an excellent job today of explaining why we are getting such bad case law... if you missed his show today I recommend the re-run... very interesting how they no longer study the constitution in law school — but case law instead... this all came about as part of the progressive movement of the 20th century.
