adoption is a statutory creation. It does not exist at common law. It must be narrowly interprited.

BTW this is not the first time the ban was upheld. Florida's SC (gasp!) upheld it.

That is a shock indeed and I didn't know that, thanks. It must have been a narrow ruling nonetheless. (2000 convinced me the FSC has got a bunch of political hacks on the bench, period).

Help me with this,please. I recall reading elsewhere that
the Eerie Railroad Co.v Thomkins 304 U.S.64 ,82,L.Ed.1188
1938 efectivly declared commonlaw dead --and set precedent that no cases prior to 1938 would be cited? seems a construct of the court --as is stare decisis-but then I am not trained--nor skilled at legal theft -having been taught
that the legal sphere was just as isolated as the sphere of
politics -and just as likely to cause dementia in otherwise
normal individuals.
