All of the required counsel was present.
Can you give me the name(s) of the counsel representing children's unique interests in Dumont v Lyon? This is a case of family law about adoption of children.
The case goes a bit beyond family law. It governs child placement agencies. The agencies' placement decisions are based on meeting the needs of the children. As a fact, placement agencies do place adoptive children in single parent households and same sex households. The decision has nothing to do with what you purport to be saying. The agency's decision was not based on the needs of the child but on religious opinion.
Yes, and children need fathers or the hope someday of a father. So adopting out to singles is not a case where the adopting adult had a contract with another adult that de facto declares "this child will never have a father". Such IS the case with lesbian "marriages".
The case may "go beyond" family law, but it's roots are in family law. So with children having an undeniable stake in the outcome of this case, they MUST have counsel present briefing the court as to their own unique interests and concerns.
