- masklinn 11y agoI was going to mention adoption dissolution (which has been used by other couples in the same situation: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/05/28/newser/28064115/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/05/28/newser/...) but the article covers it: > when the couple petitioned Allegheny County Judge Lawrence O’Toole to dissolve the adoption this summer, he ruled the state’s adoption law didn’t allow him to do so. That's just sad, and they only just went the adoption route 2 years before same-sex marriage was legalised.
