I find this interesting since...

www.adoption.com and www.Parent-Profiles.com are still doing business with families from California. Based on the previous lawsuit, Adoption Profiles, LLC and Adoption Media, LLC were banned from conducting business in California if they would not allow same-sex couples to use their service.

Thanks for the update. I called Lambda Legal...

Here we go again. . .

Social Security Administration ignores Florida gay father.

Were I a juror charged to decide if gay discrimination is at the root of the delay, I would not have enough information to reach a conclusion. A two year wait is a long time, but it does not prove discrimination. Many disability claimants wait much longer just to get a hearing.

My advice to the legal counsel is to forget writing to the Congressperson (if you have done so); he or she is no help. Contact the Regional Office in Atlanta. Obtain the number for the Area Director that oversees the SS Office in question. The AD holds the purse for merit increases for District Managers in the local office; thus, ADs are amazingly effective at cutting red tape.

I am not gay, by the way. People should receive good service whoever they are, and two years without a response is a run-around whatever the reason.

My partner, of 12 yrs, and I are in the process of adoption and stories likes these have begun to attract my attention when I scan my daily blogs. Thank you for posting this. I look forward to following this story and seeing what the outcome will be.

Thanks. KevinErskine@Hotmail.com

They DID have the "paperwork"!

Unfortunately, this brief snippet does not go into ALL of the FULL details of this story. This couple did have legal paperwork made up that was "supposed" to allow them access to each other under a medical emergency. Granted that they had to have them faxed to them by a friend back in their home state, but even after they were faxed. The hospital STILL REFUSED to give her partner and children access to her dying partner and their mother!

Here's a quick link to a more "complete" version:

Yes, it is still important to "have all your papers with you" when you travel. Even if you are just travelling to your local grocery store, I suppose.

Yet, heterosexual, married couples DON'T have to carry THEIR "paperwork" whenever they go to the store or across the country!

Blatant sexual orientation DISCRIMINATION!!!

How Horrible!

Make sure to have health care proxies and durable power of attorney's with you any time you travel. Whenever my wife and I leave Massachusetts we make sure to bring them. I don't think they could argue with that. Some day we won't need them but till then they are essential.
