CitizenLink reports.  This is a crucially important case not only for parental rights but for opposing the imposition of gay marriage by unelected judges.  Excerpt:

 
The Virginia Supreme Court will move a step closer on Thursday to deciding whether a lesbian woman will win custody of her ex-partner’s child, a decision that could undermine the state’s marriage amendment.

 

Janet Jenkins, who has no biological or adoptive ties to Lisa Miller’s 6-year-old daughter, Isabella, is seeking parental rights because she was in a relationship with Miller when the child was born. Miller got pregnant through artificial insemination from an anonymous donor, and the couple eventually ended the relationship.

UPDATE: One News Now offers helpful information about the crucial custody case before the Virginia Supreme Court.
