Spanish lesbian wins right to adopt her partner's child

Vanesa de la Heras started legal action against family court judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita - alleging that he had been maliciosly delaying her case.

TypicallySpanish.com reports that a court in Murcia finally granted the right to adopt to the mother. She has started legal action against the right wing judge of the family court.

Her partner, Susana Meseguer, gave birth after IVF treatment, and the couple wanted Vanesa to adopt the child.

The court recently ruled that it is in the child’s best interest that the adoption be granted given the family stability and the personal, social and economic situation of the couple. The couple got married in 2005 - before their decision to have a child.

Meanwhile Judge Calamita denied that he had acted maliciously in the case because of his religious beliefs.
