Activist judges in Vermont have declared that a legal stranger is a mommy to another woman's biological child. Now, a judge has decided this 7-year-old little girl should be stripped from the loving arms of the only mommy she has ever known — her biological mother, Lisa Miller — and be given to Lisa's former partner, Janet Jenkins. You see, Lisa left the homosexual lifestyle and became an evangelical Christian when Isabella was 17 months old. Janet, who was Lisa's same-sex partner when Lisa gave birth to Isabella, then sought full custody of Isabella, claiming she was a parent, even though she was not biologically related to Isabella and never sought to adopt her. Not only did Vermont create new law from the bench to declare that Isabella has two mommies, but appellate courts in Virginia (the state where Isabella was born and has lived all but 13 months of her life) also directed Virginia to fully recognize the Vermont orders giving Janet (who lives in Vermont) liberal unsupervised visitation. In doing so, the courts ignored Virginia's Marriage Amendment and marriage laws declaring all rights arising from same-sex relationships void and unenforceable.

On Nov. 20, 2009, Judge William Cohen in Vermont ruled that Jenkins is to get custody of Isabella as of Jan. 1, 2010 (A link to a letter describing the case is at the bottom of this group page).

Fortunately, a Virginia court ruled in August 2009 that Miller could appeal the enforceability of the Vermont court orders in Virginia for the first time.

This Facebook group will inform you about the ongoing legal case that directly impacts the life of seven-year old Isabella and the future of this nation. If Vermont can declare from the bench that a legal stranger is a mommy to another woman's child and have it enforced in a state with one of the strongest marriage amendments in the nation, then, on the issues of marriage and family, our country will no longer be the United States of America, but instead will be the United States according to Vermont. Only a handful of states have sanctioned same-sex marriage against 31, including Virginia, that have declared marriage to be only between one man and one woman. (read less)
