Same Sex Adoption Decision from the Court of Appeals to Be Reviewed by NC Supreme Court

Despite the fact that she lost an anonymous decision of the NC Court of Appeals, Melissa Jarrell has asked for the NC Supreme Court to weigh in on whether an adoption she consented to should be upheld.

Three years ago, when times were good, Melissa wanted the adoption to occur. Now, when times are not so good, it is a sham.

In my opinion, what is a sham is that Melissa is doing what some parents do when they go to Court. Use the children as weapons, pawns, or as sources of power in the disintegration of their relationships. Regardless of gender, orientation, religion, race, etc., children need parent(s) and family(ies) who look out after the children's interests and not after their own.
