The Superr Court led 2000 that when parents are not married to each other, the children they are raisg nnot be adopted by the send parent. Today's cisn overturned that lower urt's lg. It's a victory for children's rights and a wele acknowledgment of the hundreds and hundreds of lbian and gay fai the Commonwealth, said Dabney Miller, Associate Director of the Women's Law Project Philalphia.
