Spanish judge fined for refusing to allow adoption by lesbian couple

Judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita

Madrid, Spain, Jul 22, 2010 / 02:03 pm (CNA).- Next month, former Judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita will be forced to pay the Spanish government $127,000 for denying a lesbian couple’s request to adopt a girl.

Ferrin, who is married and a father of seven, was a judge in the Spanish towns of Huesca, Bejar and Chiclana. He also served as a family court judge in Murcia from 1999 to 2008, when the Supreme Court suspended him for two years and three months for ruling against the controversial adoption.

In Ferrin’s ruling he ordered a report be obtained from experts on the consequences the adoption would have on the girl’s development.

In December of 2009, the Supreme Court suspended him, fined him $919 and ordered him to pay the couple $7,661.

According to the organization, Professionals for Ethics, “the powerful Spanish homosexual lobby, with the consent or passivity of all the institutions, decided to punish Ferrin and make him an example.” He was accused of maliciously delaying the adoption request and subjected to pressure and blackmail.

“This process has had as its purpose the expulsion of Fernando Ferrin from the bench, after a career as a just judge with an impeccable record … But this is not all. Now the government is demanding he repay his salary of $127,000 which he received while on temporary suspension.

“Although Ferrin plans to appeal this ruling, he must pay the fine before August 5,” the organization stated.

I beg you to contact the embassy. We (I) must do something rather than wring my hunds and do nothing.

This judge should pull a Roman Polanski and ditch Spain and come here.So when Spain requests extradition we can tell them to go bleep themselves just like the Swiss told us a few days ago.

But,on second thought,I suspect that Hussein's Department of Just Us would have the judge on a plane to Madrid within an hour of any extradition request.

Sent to the embassy:

I am writing to urge you to reconsider your actions against Judge Calamita.

In apparently delaying the adoption of a child by two lesbians, the Judge was acting in the best interest of an innocent child.

Children raised without fathers do worse on every objective scale - delinquency, drug abuse, early sexual behavior, anti-social behavior, school attendance, etc.

Children in need of adoption should be placed with a mother AND a father. Both are essential to the development of a healthy human being.

A good judge considers the best interest of the innocent. Judge Calamita is a good judge and is an asset to Spain. He should not have been punished.

Thank you for providing the contact info.

Another hero. A man who puts principle before personal gain or safety. We need hundreds and thousands of such heros and heroines, like the woman in Argentina. May their expamples inspire many others. Silence and acquiescence in the face of evil is - evil!

Dear Embassy Staff,

I have recently become aware that Judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita, of the towns of Huesca, Bejar and Chiclana in Spain, will be forced to pay the Spanish government $127,000 for denying a lesbian couple’s request to adopt a girl.

I am convinced that Judge Ferrin Calamita was acting in the best traditions of Spanish Law and in the best interests of the child. In any case, I do not believe a man should be punished for acting in good conscience, without violence or fraud, even if he be a judge. He might have been recused from the case; he ought not to be punished.

I realize that you, the honorable Spanish diplomats in Washington, DC, cannot intervene to reverse this terrible injustice. However, I would like to support Judge Ferrin Calamita.

Would you please contact me and advise me on how I may contact Judge Ferrin Calamita to offer my support>

Sincerely and respectfully,

[signed]

Dear Embassy Staff,

Interesting.but given that Spain's current government is about as left wing as any you'll find in the Western world you'd be unwise,IMO,to hold your breath awaiting a response.
