// Really just a sketch so far, approaching GNG although I'd expect ONEEVENT objections. I'd love to get a full copy of the Vermont Law Review article.

Third-parent Adoption is a term to describe legal decisions or standards which allow three or more adults to be legally recognized as parents to a child.[1][2]
Early Cases
[edit]In a limited number of cases, different jurisdictions have enabled the legal adoption of a child by a third parent.[3][4] The laws of Delaware and the District of Columbia specifically leave room for this possibility.[5]
Circa 1998, a San Francisco Superior Court allowed a third-parent adoption.[6]
In 2007, an Ottawa court allowed a lesbian woman the status of a third parent to her partner's son.[7][8]
California
[edit]In 2012, the California state legislature considered a bill, SB 1476, which would allow judges to grant three or more adults the legal status of parent if the judge felt that that would be in the best interests of the child.[1][2]
