(Paris, France) - France's highest court on Tuesday ruled that the partner of a gay mom cannot adopt the child. The court said there is nothing in the law to permit same-sex couples to be co-parents. In its ruling the court said that there are only only two ways the partner would be allowed to be considered a parent to the child. The first would be for the child's mother, who gave birth to the baby, to renounce her parental rights - something the court said would not be in the child's best interests. The other would be for the government to amend the laws and allow same-sex marriage.
