Judge orders foster baby to be taken away from gay couple

[Maraya1969]

A judge has ordered a baby girl be taken away from lesbian foster parents and instead placed with a heterosexual couple.

{The couple} They are part of a group of same-sex married couples who were allowed to become foster parents in Utah after a ruling by the US Supreme Court last year that made same-sex marriage legal across the country.

==============================

But they argue the baby girl has thrived since arriving in their home three months ago and the biological mother of the child wants her to remain part of their family.

====================------------------

They have said they believe the judge was imposing his religious beliefs as part of the ruling. They are already raising Beckie's two children, aged 12 and 14.

They finally found that, for a too-brief time.

A Utah prof says the Church of LDS has created new policies aimed at children of same-sex couples.
