U.S. Supreme Court is asked to hear lesbian adoption case
Washington Post ^ | 11/16/15 | Robert Barnes

An Alabama lesbian mother is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a ruling by the state’s highest court that it will not recognize her adoption of three children in neighboring Georgia.

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that Georgia courts violated their own state laws in granting the adoptions of the children she shared with her former partner and will not order custody or even visitation with the children.

Lawyers for V.L., as the woman is identified in court papers, say the decision violates the Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause, which requires that states respect court judgments, including adoption orders, issued by courts in other states.

They also ask the Supreme Court to order that V.L. be allowed to visit the children, who live in Alabama.

We’re paying millions to operate this star chamber posing as a court.

Indulging the sick, twisted fantasies of malcontents is legal malpractice and a huge waste of taxpayer funds.

They “share” children. Sounds like a witch’s coven.
