The destruction of the family is complete. The word no longer has any meaning.

It’s as if these crazy “judges” are having a contest to see who can come up with the goofiest ruling. These “judges” have to be laughing at us when they are back in their chambers.

Well, Sweden is letting convicted pedophiles adopt children thanks to a court ruling, so its no surprise liberals in black are moving in that direction here.

G, a good-natured toddler and quick to laugh, transitions easily and smoothly between her two homes and has good relationships with LEL's domestic partner and KAL's housemate, the ruling says. Gee kind of vague.

So a guy with neither biological nor emotional attachment to the child is on the hook for it financially.
He should have read up on father’s rights.

here it says that,,,,G. calls KAL Mommy and LEL Daddy, and although they live in separate households, they have created a nurturing family environment for G., including a well-thought-out, discussed and fluid method of sharing parenting responsibilities between their homes.
and here:
" good relationships with LEL's domestic partner and KAL's housemate, "
apparantly they both have OTHER friends.....as well
and then theres the mailman,,,and the meter readers..

It’s sick and there will be hell to pay someday.
To: MeshugeMikey
Article states KAL wanted a baby, and LEL offered to be her sperm donor.
She couldn’t get pregnant, so they decided to adopt a child together”.
