Spain

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.

A judge ordered a lesbian mom in Spain to relinquish her daughters to their father because, he said, her homosexuality would harm them and “raised the risk” that the girls would also become lesbians.

Judge Fernando Ferrin Calamita said, “It is understood that (a parent’s) drug addiction, child abuse, prostitution, belonging to a satanic sect or heterosexual affair would negatively affect the children and serve as a reason for a change of custody. Well, it’s the same with homosexuality.”

It's illegal for gay people to adopt in France, and only heterosexual couples with fertility problems have access to medically assisted reproduction facilities there. So a phenomenon has begun. A growing number of lesbians are taking the high-speed train to Holland or Spain for insemination.
