“There was no finding that the changed circumstances in any way adversely affected the child. In fact, the evidence suggests that the child was doing well in school, loved the mother’s partner, and was happy and well-balanced,” Judge Anne Elizabeth Barnes wrote in her ruling.
Jack Senterfitt, senior staff attorney for Lambda Legal in Atlanta, represented the lesbian mother, Victoria Moses, in court. Senterfitt praised the court’s ruling in a Sept. 28 interview.
