Supreme Court of West Virginia considering same-sex adoption by Lesbian Couple

Posted on January 22, 2009 by Theresa Erickson

The Supreme Court of the State of West Virginia is considering whether an infant placed with a lesbian couple after she was born to a drug addicted mother shall remain with the couple, according to West Virginia Metro News.   The Department of Health and Human Services did approve the couple for foster care, but the trial court judge wanted the child to be removed from the home in order to provide her a more "traditional" home with a mother and father.

I would like to hear everyone's view on this case and what the end result should be.  Currently, WV state law does allow singles and heterosexual married couples to adopt in WV.  In fact, one of the women in this case has actually successfully adopted another child.
