Indiana High Court Allows Pro-Gay Adoption Ruling To Stand
The Indiana Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling that allows same-sex parents to adopt each other's children.

The court's 4-1 decision allows the lower court ruling to stand.

The case involved Becki Hamilton and Kim Brennan, a lesbian couple who live in Morgan County and have been in a committed relationship for more than a decade. The infant was a foster child in their care.

The adoption was approved but a judge in Morgan County ordered the adoption halted and the couple appealed. (more...)
