NEW ORLEANSLouisiana has 15 days to add the names of both fathers to the birth certificate of a boy born in Shreveport and adopted by a gay couple from out-of-state, a federal judge has ruled.
The state is asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn the ruling by U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey, and to halt the order in the meantime, state Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said Thursday.
"The federal district court has significantly misinterpreted Louisiana vital records law, forcing Louisiana to import and adopt New York law," he wrote in a brief e-mailed statement.
Oren Adar and Mickey Ray Smith, who now live in San Diego, but adopted the boy in New York state, want both their names on his birth certificate.
State officials say that's illegal because, under Louisiana law, two single people cannot adopt a child. Zainey ruled in December that because the adoption became formal in New York, the Office of Vital Records must recognize that state's adoption law on the matter.

These folks working for evil
are going to shove perversion down our throats whenever they get a chance.
Perversion or not, who the F*** does this judge think he is telling a state to change its laws.
“Louisiana has 15 days to”
I guarantee the Louisianans who joined the union did not have this in mind.
I fear this boy will need a lot of counseling later on in life.
If the Obamarrhoids keep it up, there will be no union.
The judge is ordering the state to lie on a vital record. Courts don't have that authority, and the State of Louisiana needs to remind this moron of that fact.
This would make the birth certificate as fraudulent as the one BO gave us.
I would tell the Feds to shove it1
Lavender mafia.
“0bama has two dads listed on his Birth Certificate: Barack and Stanley.”
HEHEH!! Forgot about that.
And still, people believe the Daily KOS/Factcheck version of an abstract of 0bama’s BC...
I have mixed feelings on this. Adoptees are ALL subject to having their original birth certificates altered so that they reflect the names of their two legal guardians (with no indication they are adopted). While I personally don’t like the idea of a gay couple adopting a child this child WAS adopted in accordance with the laws in the State in which they adopted.
What is the solution here? Do you want this judge to NOT alter the Birth Certificate (illegal according to the state laws), or only put down ONE guardian (legally these men ARE this child’s legal guardians), or would you like them to create a “Special” Birth Certificate for this child (create a “special class” of citizens)?
I’ve got a GREAT idea — How about we DON’T tamper with ANYONE’s BIRTH CERTIFICATES, and instead issue certificates of GUARDIANSHIP for all adoptive parents? Wouldn’t THAT be a MUCH better idea? (Heck, it may head off some eligibility questions in the future on whether foreign-born adopted children are “natural born citizens” as well! (Too bad this wasn’t thought of before Barry Soetero/Obama/whoever got elected, eh????).
That way we wouldn’t have ANY of these problems, would we???
It’s ridiculous that states make it possible for parents to lie to their adopted children by making it appear on all legal paperwork as if they had never been adopted in the first place... At least this boy will never live under some misconception that he wasn’t adopted!
Wouldn’t it be an adoption certificate not a birth certificate?
The solution is don’t let poofers adopt. IF they do, then list it as an ADOPTION certificate. This is as absurd as gay “marriage”
I find this fascinating... Doesn’t anyone here realize that ALL adopted children have “fraudulent” birth certificates?
Does this even make sense? Even if they want to raise him, at most only one of them contributed DNA - and who is the mother?
