Several organizations are asking the North Carolina Supreme Court to review a
lower-court decision permitting same-gender adoption.

continues )
The court ruled in a case involving two lesbians, one of
whom is State Senator Julia Boseman (D-New Hanover). Boseman's partner Melissa
Jarrell had a baby through artificial insemination and permitted Boseman to
adopt the child. Child custody became a factor when the couple split up and the
natural mother wanted Boseman, her former partner, out of the picture. The North
Carolina Court of Appeals granted custody to Boseman. "Basically this
case just represents the craziness in our laws when we go against God's moral
law and open up our courts and our institutions to this kind of ridiculous
behavior," notes Barbara Weller of the Christian Law Association.
(This is the kind of thing many of us feared and said would happen if we started to allow same sex marriage. The question here shouldn't be about if same sex couples have the right to have children but the question should be what would be best for the children. Children need loving parents not those who want to push same sex marriage down our throats. Children having enough issues they shouldn't have to deal with explaining why they have two dads or two moms. )
