n a first of its kind ruling in New York, a Manhattan judge has given a couple who're just friends the green light to become legal co-parents to an adopted girl. The pals identified, only as LEL and KAL, met in 2000 and have been close friends since, according to court papers.

isnt THIS special

what a stable, secure nest to bring a child into.

[ClearCase_guy]

The destruction of the family is complete. The word no longer has any meaning.

It’s as if these crazy “judges” are having a contest to see who can come up with the goofiest ruling. These “judges” have to be laughing at us when they are back in their chambers.

Well, Sweden is letting convicted pedophiles adopt children thanks to a court ruling, so its no surprise liberals in black are moving in that direction here.

G, “a good-natured toddler and quick to laugh,” transitions “easily and smoothly between her two homes” and has “good relationships with LEL's domestic partner and KAL's housemate,” the ruling says.

Gee kind of vague.

that one...i missed...

time appears to be drawing nigh...

[bgill]

Hey, how about all us FRiends on this thread adopt a kid and shuffle him/her between our households! Wouldn’t that be just sooo speeecial?!? FRiends would certainly fit that judge’s definition. Stop the world, I want off.

[MeshugeMikey]

Its meaning hasnt changed one iota among the LIVING,,,

[FlingWingFlyer]

Geeez. Another clueless, foreign loon.

[Rodamala]

[MeshugeMikey]

imagine the wonderful diversity the child would benefit from?

THOUSANDS of parents..thousands of homes....millions of siblings..aunts uncles and the like.

THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OF ADOPTION AWAITS !!

[tbw2]

So a guy with neither biological nor emotional attachment to the child is on the hook for it financially.
He should have read up on father’s rights.

[MeshugeMikey]

I dont think the Church Lady would be standing...after hearing this one.

[MeshugeMikey]

is it a heterosexual pair..of just friends? I didnt read that far I guess,

[MeshugeMikey]

here it says that,,,,G. calls KAL ‘Mommy’ and LEL ‘Daddy,’” and “although they live in separate households,” they “have created a nurturing family environment for G., including a well-thought-out, discussed and fluid method of sharing parenting responsibilities between their homes.”

and here:

" “good relationships with LEL's domestic partner and KAL's housemate,” "

apparantly they both have OTHER friends.....as well

and then theres the mailman,,,and the meter readers..

[Mortrey]

It takes a village...

[cloudmountain]

It’s sick and there will be hell to pay someday.

[LucyT]

Article states KAL wanted a baby, and LEL offered to be her sperm donor.

She couldn’t get pregnant, so they “decided to adopt a child together”.

[MeshugeMikey]

a global village evidently...
