“I have a good life. I just want peace.”
The Journal Inquirer in North Central Connecticut published a profile on Rebecca Lazarus, a 13-year-old who continues to find opportunities to advocate on behalf of her family and other children who have two moms or two dads.
Excerpt:
Because Lazarus, who is her biological father, and Charette [her father's partner] aren’t legally married, if something were to happen to Lazarus, Rebecca could be taken away from Charette and put in foster care unless the couple has what’s called a co-parent adoption in place.
A co-parent adoption guarantees that the second parent’s custody rights and responsibilities will be protected if the first parent were to die or become incapacitated.
