Vt. judge: Birth *** must give ***** to ex-partner
The birth ****** of a 7-year-old Virginia girl must transfer custody of the ***** to the woman's former lesbian partner, a Vermont judge ruled, adding that it seems the woman has "disappeared" with her ********.
Vermont ****** Court Judge William Cohen ordered Lisa Miller of Winchester, Va., to turn over ******** Isabella to Janet Jenkins of Fair Haven at 1 p.m. Friday at the Virginia home of Jenkins' parents.
But in the Dec. 22 order denying Miller's request to delay the transfer of Isabella, Cohen wrote: "It appears that Ms. Miller has ceased contact with her attorneys and disappeared with the ***** *****."
Miller and Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000. Isabella was born to Miller through artificial insemination in 2002. The couple broke up in 2003, and Miller moved to Virginia, renounced homosexuality and became an evangelical Christian.
