Lots Of Parental Love For This Boy

Three parents for Canadian boy | WORLD | NEWS | tvnz.co.nz:
A five-year-old Canadian boy can have two mothers and a father, an Ontario court ruled this week in a landmark case that redefines the meaning of family and examines the rights of parents in same-sex relationships.
In a ruling released on Tuesday, the Ontario Court of Appeal said the female partner of the child’s biological mother could be legally recognized as the boy’s third parent.
The biological father, named on the boy’s birth certificate, is a friend of both women and is taking an active role in the child’s life.
My opinion on this child custody case sets me apart in the fathers’ and equal parenting movements. Many people believe marriage should only be between a male and a female, and every child should have one father and one mother. Fathers4Justice in Canada has announced they do not agree with this court ruling.
While I believe the rights of every biological parent need to be respected, I also know how much children benefit by having other loving, devoted adults in their lives. more…
