IT'S NOT YOUR CHILD JULIA!


In a perfect world loving lesbian couples will make a commitment to live together, neither will cheat, neither will lie, neither will become manipulative or violent, couples will live, till death do they part.

Unfortunately the real world is that one of the partners will cheat, lie, steal and trick the other partner into becoming pregnant and finding a cooperative judge to circumvent the law allowing a faux joint custody arrangement and that leads to trouble when the couple split.

This is what happened to Julia Boseman, she lied and cheated her way into having her partner become pregnant and give birth to a baby boy. The law states that the birth mother has full custodial rights because the law states for another person to adopt a child the birth mother has to either be married to the person making the application for adoption or give up all rights. Since the law does not allow for same sex marriages and since Julia's partner did not relinquish her rights, Senator Boseman has no legal rights to the child. None!

The Supreme Court of North Carolina will hear the case and make a ruling on whether or not Ms. Boseman can lay claim to parental rights. If the Court rules against Boseman, over 300 other lesbian couples who have snuck into the Durham Court to circumvent a law by appearing in front of one judge who was sympathetic to the lesbians wishing to have a child together and enjoy similar rights to heterosexual couples where one may be a step-father of the child and legally adopt. This ruling will not effect gay male couples because neither would be the birth mother. This only involves lesbian couples in which one of the partners is the actual birth mother. Lesbian couples can still adopt if the child's birth mother abandons her rights, such as what happens in most adoption cases we are all familiar with.

Should Boseman become a District Court Judge she could very easily become just like the judge in Durham that did these illegal adoptions for lesbian couples from all around the state. This is what I feel is her motivation to run for judgeship, to circumvent the law, the legal process, the legislative branch to make law herself by making decisions in court. Something to think about.
