The Indiana Court of Appeals in a 2 to 1 decicion denied a Morgan County judge's efforts to overturn the adoption of an infant girl by a same-sex couple in April 2005 in Marion County.

The ruling states "Statutory language permitting 'a resident of Indiana' to file a petition for adoption does not limit it to a singular resident, but rather includes the plural -- 'residents' -- as well. . . . The state does not argue that married couples -- necessarily constituting more than one resident -- may not adopt."

Lambda legal represented the couple in the case
