Same Sex Couple Wants to Adopt Child from Louisiana

A same sex couple has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene so they can adopt children. The men live in a state where same sex marriage are legal, but they want to adopt a 5 year old child in Louisiana -- where it's not allowed. If the court rules in their favor, even states that do not allow same-sex marriage will be forced to allow children to be adopted by gay couples.
