You're blowing smoke. Either you have an agenda or you haven't followed legal proceedings for the past decade.
At any point in the past seven years, this woman could have requested and been granted custody. She didn't.
Dr. Clark said the room-mate never wanted custody of the child, and the facts support this statement.
Nope, Colorado does not currently allow such adoptions, and has not allowed them at any time during this little girl's life. Apparently courts in one county (Boulder -- not the county where Clark and McLeod reside) have allowed gay partners to be listed as a parent on a birth certificate, when the other partner has actually given birth to the child. But the practice is not recognized under state law, and there are ongoing efforts to explicitly prohibit it. No adoption has ever been allowed by two gay parents of a biologically unrelated child.
