1. Adoption as a means to gain legal rights, licensing rights, and contract rights which are identical to or nearly identical to those of licensed, contractual marriage. Noteworthy.
2. One can adopt multiple 'children'. Irrelevant?
3. Once Pennsylvania was forced to accept gay marriage, the adoption tactic became moot.
4. Adoption is a running theme in the New Testament. I'm not sure where to go with this, but it adds another layer of consideration in the whole Bible vs Homosexuality discussion.
5. Does this adoption angle into homosexual marriage lead anywhere?
So when the “son” inherits the estate, does he have to pay taxes?
It was only a matter of time.
Next - pet dogs, sheep and horses.

America 2015: Pervert nation.

And here I thought it was the end of bizarre, crazy depraved stories regarding gays and matrimony.

Okay, you're probably thinking this is the last of it, but I guarantee you that there's some new not yet thought of ways in the marriage of freaks.
I just don’t know anymore.
