Joanna Grossman, professor of law at Hofstra Law School, explores some possible hardships faced by lesbian and gay adoptive parents in a legal commentary for FindLaw<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grossman cites two recent cases \u2013 one from New York and one from Florida \u2013 as powerful reminders of the potential conflicts created by states’ taking different approaches to the legal recognition of GLBT parenting.<\/p>\n

Grossman warns, “While the legal landscape has developed in a much more tolerant way for same-sex parenting than it has for same-sex marriage, significant obstacles remain, particularly when co-parents split and relocate.<\/p>\n

“The basic legal questions raised by same-sex parenting range from whether someone can adopt the biological child of a same-sex partner, to whether a same-sex spouse is entitled to a presumption of parentage for children born to the other during the marriage, to whether a same-sex couple can jointly adopt a child that is biologically related to neither of them. These legal issues have been actively litigated in many states, producing a patchwork of rules that vary from state to state.”<\/p>\n

Joanna Grossman, a FindLaw columnist, is a professor of law at Hofstra University. She contributes columns on family law, trusts and estates, and discrimination, including sex discrimination and sexual harassment<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
