Georgia Court Upholds Parental Rights After Lesbian 'Divorce'

A second-parent adoption by a lesbian couple was upheld by the Georgia Court of Appeals recently. The court did not make a statement on whether Georgia's ban on same-sex marriage would have an overall effect on second-parent adoptions in the state. The biological mother became pregnant through an anonymous sperm donor five years ago. At the time, she wanted her partner to adopt the child so they both could have parental rights. They pursued a second-parent adoption, which was approved in Fulton County. After the couple broke up in 2010, the biological mother went back to the Fulton County courts in an attempt to get the adoption voided. The court refused to terminate the nonbiological mother's right.
