Meanwhile, in Austria…

Just a preview of coming attractions:

In Austria, a court will determine whether a lesbian partner can adopt the biological child of her partner, thereby terminating the child’s biological father’s right to continue to have any custody or visitation rights with his child.

We can pretend that this sort of thing isn’t going to come up here (assuming that gay marriage is legalized either federally or in most if not all states – which I don’t think is a far-fetched assumption), but I can’t for the life of me see why it wouldn’t.
