From Times Wire Reports

A lesbian who split with her partner after adopting the woman’s biological children must pay child support, the state Court of Appeals has ruled.

The woman adopted her partner’s children in 1997. A few years after their breakup, she tried to vacate the adoption. Around the same time, the children’s biological mother filed for child support.

A three-judge panel ruled that the woman who adopted the children must contribute to the cost of raising them.
