Lesbian Janet Jenkins Begins Media Campaign to Gain Custody of Ex-Partner Lisa Miller’s Child

Janet Jenkins (LifeSiteNews.com) – Janet Jenkins, a practicing lesbian who was once in a “civil union” with ex-lesbian Lisa Miller, is conducting a media campaign to locate Miller’s seven-year-old daughter in an attempt to gain custody of the child.

Miller’s daughter, Isabella, was conceived via artificial insemination during the pair’s relationship, and has no biological relationship with Jenkins. Miller disappeared with Isabella in December, apparently in an effort to prevent a Vermont judge from transferring custody of her child to Jenkins.

But Jenkins is doing numerous interviews with mainstream media outlets, ostensibly in an effort to locate Isabella (described by Jenkins in one interview as “my child”), which are uncritically repeating her charges against Miller, while failing to mention Miller’s charges against Jenkins – -including that her relationship with Jenkins was abusive.

“I think she’s dangerous, and I think she’s very vulnerable and I think she’s capable of anything,” Jenkins told ABC News on January 29 when asked about Miller.

“I think she’s very desperate,” added Jenkins. “I think the people and the places that she is exposing herself to and my child to – our child to – it’s just frightening for me to even think about.” [snip]

According to Miller, Isabella had become desperate not to return to Jenkins (shown at left) after a visit in which she said that she had been required to bathe naked with her other “mother.” She had even spoken of wanting to die.

Why did Judge Richard Cohen transfer custody to Jenkins? Is there something I'm missing in this story?

Cohen transferred custody to the dyke because Miller failed to appear at some hearing and thus the judgement was entered by default. Jenkins is flat out wrong here and so is Cohen. But that’s not how the homo’s want this to play out. In their minds now Miller is a homophobe and a bad parent.

I can see why Miller is an ex-Lesbo, if you’re going to be with a woman who looks like a man, why not just go for the real thing?

All we need now is for the sperm donor to show up to claim his piece of this poor child.

Miller was an idiot to run off instead of staying to fight and appeal to new Gov. McDonnell (VA) to intervene, which you know he would have been keen to do. Protecting a VA woman from a Vermont leftie judge would be very popular politically. However all this is ostensibly off the table so long as Miller remains “on the lam”. Tragic.

She must be living with someone, hiding her and her child. That’s no way for a kid to live either. They’ll probably give the child (when they find her) to the state until the adults sort things out (years and years). Tragic indeed, especially when a 5-6 year old wants to commit suicide. I hope that’s not true, but somehow, I can see that it might be.

If this is the case I think it is, Miller left the lezbo for the sperm donor.

Jenkins had a better lawyer and is using this child for vengeance. The childs mom did some unwise things by failing to appear and the judge ruled in Jenkins favor.

At least thats how I understand it.

The judge is missing brain matter. As to what the story itself is missing,its common sense.

Maybe the Lesbian Mayor of Houston, Annise Parker, could help her.

Yes, that little girl asked for none of this. I was thinking about (and praying for) her during my exercising today. My agnostic brother always used to say, people should be required to take a test before they get married (just like when you get a driver's license). When I hear about cases like this, I think, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. (And another test, before they could become parents!)

Miller and Jenkins had a civil union in Vermont. When they broke up, they entered a child agreement which gave custody to Miller, and allowed Jenkins visitations.

At some point, Miller cut off Jenkin’s visitations, and then tried to get the agreement overturned in Virginia courts (Virginia doesn’t recognize civil unions).

Vermont courts ruled that Jenkins, through the civil union law, defacto adopted the child. Virginia courts ruled that this was a custody case, not a civil union case, and the Virginia courts would recognize the custody rules of the Vermont court, where the two women were living at the time of the breakup.

MIller, unable to get a court to remove Jenkins from visitation, took matters into her own hands, forbiding Jenkins to see the child. Jenkins went to court, and the court escalated punishments against Miller in an attempt to get her to obey the court’s visitation orders.

Finallly, with all other avenues exhausted, the Vermont court transfered custody to Jenkins, with the expectation that Jenkins would grant liberal visitation to Miller.

Miller responded by going into hiding with the child, effectively kidnapping her own daughter based on Vermont court rulines.

And Virginia courts back Vermont courts.

That is why. Because Miller signed an agreement to enter a civil union with Jenkins, and to the courts this is all about contract law, and not about being lesbian or ex-lesbian.

The court has ruled that the charges of abuse are unsubstantiated — have no idea if that’s a good ruling or not.
