Great relationship there. This story turned out well only because of her.
BTW this is why many cities now have a law there is no penalty to leave a newborn at a firestation, yet some cities still resist it.
Still, who adopts a child spontaneously without consulting their parter?
The real miracle here is the partner that didn't leave him over it.
And this adoption wasn't completed until Danny signed on. Someone had to start the ball rolling.
You don't adopt a child when you have a partner without even mentioning to them, let alone discussing it.
I mean that's insane, and I don't get the downvotes.
Who the hell adopts a kid while in a long-term relationship without even asking their partner?
It's all good because it turned out okay but seriously who does this? It's a massive life-changing event. You plan these things, otherwise it shows a complete lack of respect.
Maybe there is context that we're not aware of. Perhaps they had both previously expressed a desire to raise children.
In any case, you didn't read the story carefully enough. They went back to court, both of them, to confirm they were both willing to adopt. Had the partner objected, the adoption wouldn't have happened. You're going to have to find something else to find objectionable in this story. :)
10 years ago it was more then extraordinary to entrust a gay couple with adopting a child.
Times and attitudes have changed massively in this time, which is a good thing. It's much better for a kid to be brought up by a loving, caring gay couple then in a total dysfunctional traditional marriage.
Even if the other party did not agree with it initially this is just the same reaction any parent would have for their children, which is that the childs needs come first.
Makes perfect sense to me.
