Gay Couple Who Sued Adoption.com, Settle

As a follow-up to the store about the gay couple who sued adoption.com, they have settled their lawsuit.

Under the terms of a settlement, ParentProfiles.com, a sister company to Adoption.com, cannot post profiles of California residents “unless the service is made equally available to all California residents qualified to adopt in California.” That means the defendants have a choice: to either “treat everyone in California equally or don’t benefit from the state’s economy. There is no monetary payout as part of the settlement, as the Butlers were never after money.” said Neel Chatterjee, an attorney for Michael & Rich Butler.

The Butlers adopted a baby girl in 2004 through a California adoption agency. Isn’t she just adorable?
