"Father" unadopts "son" to marry him. (http://www.aol.com/article/2015/05/29/father-and-son-dissolve-adoption-in-order-to-get-married/21188714/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl16%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D204006261)

'Father' and 'son' dissolve adoption in order to get married
May 29th 2015 9:45AM

Two Pennsylvania men who spent more than a decade as adopted father and son in the eyes of the law have dissolved that relationship in order to marry.
Norman MacArthur and Bill Novak have been in a relationship for 50 years but spent the last 15 years living under the legal adopted relationship in order to try to approximate the legal rights they would have had as a married couple.
Novak adopted MacArthur back in 2000 after they moved from New York to Pennsylvania. They realized their legal partnership wouldn't be recognized, so they turned to adoption.

"It struck me as fairly unusual, but we looked into it and discovered that other couples had done it," MacArthur told Yahoo. "[Without the adoption] we would be legally strangers. [...] Most importantly, it would allow us visitation rights in a hospital, and gaining of knowledge if one of us was in the hospital."

Novak was two years older, so he was listed as MacArthur's father. However, after Pennsylvania's ban on same-sex marriage was declared unconstitutional last year, the couple, now in their seventies, decided to vacate the adoption and get married.

MacArthur and Novak were wed on Sunday, less than two weeks after a judge dissolved their adoption, marking the first time in the state's history that an adoption between a same sex couple had been dissolved in order for them to be wed.

"We wanted to get the marriage done fairly quickly after the court vacated the adoption," MacArthur said. "At that point we didn't have any legal protection so we wanted to get it taken care of."

So have they been committing incest or not? :bigears:

How can you adopt someone that's not under 18?

Good thing you did not get "Butt Hurt" over this Val.

At their age I wonder if they are getting ready to "Pack it in" or just Blow it off.

I thought that was odd too, until I saw they are only 2 years apart in age and only entered into that agreement to receive similar rights as a married couple.

Still doesn't explain adopting someone over 18.

The adopted adult can change his or her last name, also called a surname change, and all adoption records will be sealed. The most common reason to adopt an adult is for inheritance purposes. In this case, adult adoption allows someone to leave property or financial assets to the adopted individual more easily.

You get a choice...

A man dies and goes to hell. Satan greets him, shows him three doors, and says, "You must spend the rest of eternity in one of the rooms behind these doors. Look in each one and decide which one you want."

The man opens the first door, and sees a bunch of people standing on their heads on a wooden floor, looking very uncomfortable. He opens the second door, and sees a bunch of people standing on their heads on a concrete floor, looking even more uncomfortable. Finally, he opens the third door, and sees a bunch of people standing around chatting and drinking coffee, up to their knees in shit.

"Hmmm," he says, "that looks bad, but it's better than the other two. I'll take the third door." Satan smiles and shows him in.

Ten minutes later Satan walks back into the room and says, "Alright, coffee break's over, everyone back on your heads!"

:iagree:
Pretty messed up when the family one may not even associate with has more rights than the person of one's choosing.
