Vt. Judge: Birth Mom Must Give Child To Ex-Partner [Have We Gone Mad?]

Vt. Judge: Birth Mom Must Give Child To Ex-Partner

By WILSON RING Associated Press Writer Dec. 29, 2009

MONTPELIER, Vt. -- The birth mother of a 7-year-old Virginia girl must transfer custody of the child to the woman's former lesbian partner, a Vermont judge has ruled.

Vermont Family Court Judge William Cohen ordered Lisa Miller of Winchester, Va., to turn over daughter Isabella to Janet Jenkins of Fair Haven at 1 p.m. Friday at the Virginia home of Jenkins' parents.

Miller and Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000. Isabella was born to Miller through artificial insemination in 2002. The couple broke up in 2003, and Miller moved to Virginia, renounced homosexuality and became an evangelical Christian.

In the Dec. 22 order denying Miller's request to delay the transfer of Isabella, Cohen wrote: "It appears that Ms. Miller has ceased contact with her attorneys and disappeared with the minor child."

Liberty Counsel attorneys who have represented Miller in the past did not immediately respond to telephone messages left Tuesday by The Associated Press.

A listing for Lisa Miller in Winchester, Va., says the phone line has been temporarily disconnected at the customer's request.

Only if they find her.

And we all know what a great job the feds have been doing with their search for Whitey Bulger.

Unfortunately, an innocent little girl is also reaping the rewards of these women wanting their lifestyle choice to include the right of marriage.

They took a child from a biological parent and awarded custody to a non-biological person.

Not so fast!

Typically, the way these couples arrange this is the birth mother is NOT the biological mother. They have the fertilized egg of one partner implanted in the other partner.

Yeah. Let’s laugh. Mom’s awakening and repentance means absolutely scratch.

"It does, and she didn't. "

That makes it more complicated. Of course, this story - like so many legal stories - irritates me because it doesn't link to the relevant opinion by the judge. I'm curious what the relevant facts are, beyond the limited reporting, and the case and statutory law upon which the judge constructed his opinion.

I did not know that. Do you have a link at which I can see which of the Virginia justices ruled in favor of VT?.

Agreed. A relative of mine refused to show up for her court date to settle visitation issue. The abusive ex-hubby got custody, thought there was never any doubt had she shown up she would have gotten full custody. The courts frown on no-shows. One might as well slap the judge in the face

If that is indeed the case, there are a whole lot of Freepers on this thread who are making a good argument that the child should be with her "Biological" Mother, Ms. Miller.

When you support a smarmy way of life- you reap all kinds of harvest.

They made their bed - let them lay in it. Perhaps this will be a wake-up call. There’s a price to pay for their behavior. As for the child, well, sorry. Children all over the world face much worse than this. You’re going to chastize me for laughing at these two idiots when their are children dying due to their parent’s behavior? Give me a break.

It was on multiple WorldNetDaily.com (wnd.com) articles. If you search their archives you will find them.

Also the 7 year old girl, was forced to bathe naked with the Vermont lezzie Jenkins, forced to spend unsupervised weekends with Jenkins, and would return home with bed wetting & nightmares, to her bith mother Miller (now a born again Christian).

I think (and hope & pray) that Miller will just disappear with her child or lose her forever into a forced lesbian lifestyle.

It certainly shows a lack of compassion for an innocent child on your part.

Miller and Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000.

Miller made some terrible choices. Unfortunately those choices can follow parents for upwards of 18 years, sometimes longer.

According to this judge, yep! I guess she should have stopped and considerd all the possible consequences, not only for herself, but any children she had, before engaging in that lifestyle. As for the impact on the child - how about all the children all over the world living in squallid conditions or being murdered by their parents? And you want to chastize me for laughing at these two women?

"Is this the case where the little girl was very uncomfortable visiting Jenkins because she was pushing lesbo stuff on her?"

I honestly don't know. This posting is the first I've seen of this story.
