When judges are bigots

This article talks about a lesbian couple who is being discriminated against by a judge in their adoption of a baby girl just because of their sexual preference.

Having just gone through an adoption with my partner, I feel for this family who is being torn apart by prejudice in 2005 in what should be the most democratic and freest country in the world:

In 2004 the lesbian couple was asked by the state to provide a home for an abandoned infant and to consider adopting her. They took the baby home when she was two days old and have provided care for her since then, including naming the child Morgan.

But when the judge supervising the child's foster care placement realized that the child's prospective adoptive parents were lesbians, the court ordered the State child welfare agency to find her a home with a heterosexual married couple instead.

The State did not locate such a family for many months and meanwhile the two mothers, who are licensed pre-adoptive foster parents, applied for and were granted an adoption by the Marion Superior Court. The Morgan Juvenile Court then ruled that the adoption was invalid.

It is just unconscionable that a judge would rule a legal adoption invalid only because of his blind bigotry. He should be impeached.
