flag Fargo couple denied adoption of foster kids due to state law restrictions on unmarried partners.

flag A Fargo, North Dakota, couple living together for 10 years was denied the adoption of three foster children they had cared for, due to a state law that only explicitly allows married couples or single individuals to adopt. flag Despite approvals from local human services and being deemed suitable parents by the court, Judge Cherie Clark denied the petition, citing the law's lack of mention of unmarried couples. flag The couple's attorney argues this interpretation is flawed and is seeking a review from the North Dakota Supreme Court. flag The couple later obtained approval from another judge, bypassing the initial denial.
