Puerto Rico Upholds Gay Adoption Ban
No home for you, kid
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rico's Supreme Court has narrowly voted to uphold a law banning gay couples from adopting children.
Wednesday's 5-4 vote comes in the case of an unidentified woman who sought to adopt a child that her partner had through in vitro fertilization.
A majority of judges upheld the constitutionality of a law specifying that a family is comprised of a mother and father, saying that is best for a child's dignity and well-being.
